Nowadays people tend to blindly follow their SatNav instructions even into rivers or off of cliffs.
Basically they are not paying attention to where they are. Also because they follow the directions their SatNav spits out at them they miss out on all those intersting little diversions they would find
if they tried to follow a map.
So the SatNav is modified to include a SatNav Says mode, where it prefixes all correct directions by "SatNav Says", and occaisionally gives incorrect instructions (not prefixed by "SatNav Says").
You could modify the idea by having penlties for following "bad" instructions.
Penalties could include a "you're on your own for five minutes" if you get three wrong in a row, or directing people to places like Slough.

"What are you doing, Dave? I can't let you do that. SatNav says put the screwdriver down, Dave." |
