I had a worse experence: once someone told me that a shop was
700m ahead . I carefully drove 700m ... parked the car and found
no shops there.
I had to call again and they confirmed me , i said that i was at the
place, but i found no shop of that kind, they described me the
bulding and so i discovered that it was about 150m back, so the
one that told me 700 was 25% off in its indication, so causing me
to lose about 15' to go back (it was an one way road in a long loop
and i ha to get some bulky items).
