Navigating your way through a foreign country is Watch Live TVhard enough without the world's pre-eminent maps service sabotaging you along the way, but sometimes, that's just how being a tourist goes.
In the last few months, hundreds of visitors to Norway hoping to hang out on the famous Preikestolen cliff have instead ended up in a small village called Fossmork, thanks to a Google Maps error.

Fossmork is more than 20 miles away from the cliff, which is a popular tourist attraction. Visitors to the village can actually see the summit — and the happy visitors on top of it — from their unintended destination.
Villager Helge Fossmark said that in the summer season, they turn away between 10-15 cars a day.
All that is after the tourists navigate a "terrible" road to Fossmork, one that's winding and narrow — and also the very same road they have to go back on to leave the village. Townspeople said that yeah, sometimes the tourists are kind of upset about that.
Google Norway told the Norwegian publication Aftenposten, “We are constantly working to improve Google Maps, and encourage people to report any problems they find, so that we can make sure we resolve the issue as soon as possible."
In the meantime, we're sure Fossmork is quite lovely.
