"Police are extremely concerned as there is no water supply within the Park and temperatures can reach as high as 46 degrees [Celsius, roughly 115 degrees Fahrenheit], making this a potentially life threatening issue.
"Anyone travelling to Mildura or other locations within Victoria should rely on other forms of mapping until this matter is rectified," the police concluded.

Wow. Would be funny if it weren't so scary and dangerous. That's why when someone tried to say the mapping issue was no worse than other Apple goofs of the past (such as the antenna one), I disagreed. We're talking potential life and death here. I really wonder if Apple would have put this out if Jobs were still alive. I believe he would have waited till the wrinkles were ironed out, and would have stayed with Google maps for one more cycle.
