* ''Webcomic/EveryoneIsHome'': When trying to revive the ''Legend of Zelda'' Smash Fighters, Simon, Wario, and Kirby split up from the rest of the group in Hyrule to find a Fairy Fountain to revive Toon Link. But the group gets lost in the woods because Wario was holding the map upside-down, [[InsaneTrollLogic because he thought that the "W" on the map (being an upside-down "M") stood for his name]]. Simon is infuriated by this and Wario's stupidity.
-->'''Simon:''' ''Why'' would a map have your name on it!?

* ''Radio/TheNavyLark'': One of the many, ''many'' navigational blunders involving Sub-Lt Phillips involved him reading the map upside down, backwards, or in some cases entirely fictional maps, although it is highlighted by the other cast members that him reading it the right way up would [[NoSenseOfDirection hardly make a difference]].

When heading on a mapped adventure, it is important to follow the map accordingly. One wrong move could send you into great danger. In some cases though, you end up reading the directions incorrectly, resulting in you going the wrong way.

* Music/TheyMightBeGiants: Taken UpToEleven in "They Got Lost". John wasn't just reading a map incorrectly; he'd picked up the wrong piece of paper and had been directing the band based on a crumpled burger wrapper.
