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 your going the wrong way. Of course, this could also occur from misreading details about obstacles that you are to encounter. This can result in you either underestimating or overestimating the obstacle. It's possible to recover, but it can still be embarrassing. If racing to the goal against a competing adventurer, this mistake can severely cost you. Compare Upside-Down Blueprints, for when the instructions for a building's architecture are misread causing the construction to be put together wrong, and Had the Silly Thing in Reverse, for when travelers have accidentally driven a vehicle backwards. |

Bassie & Adriaan: Bassie has a habit of accidentally reading things, including maps, upside down, and not realizing his error until Adriaan points it out. One notable example involving a map appears in the second series, Het geheim van de sleutel; when Bassie tells the audience why he and Adriaan have a new caravan, he recalls how they once ended up on a narrow road due to him reading the map upside down, and when they unhooked the caravan to try and turn around, it rolled off the road and into a ditch, completely destroying it. | |

TaleSpin: In an inversion, "The Idol Rich" has an example that actually causes the hero to go in the right direction. While looking for a treasure with a clue that it was "right under his nose", he ends up looking at a map upside down and realizes that a lake that everyone saw as being shaped like a moose head looked like a mustachioed nose from the other direction. In "Gruel and Unusual Punishment", Baloo mistakes a Thembrian prison for a weight loss clinic due to a guacamole stain on the map covering the location. |

Rugrats: In "Graham Canyon", the Pickles family attempt to take a vacation to the Grand Canyon. During the long car ride, Angelica decides to pass the time by coloring with markers, but Tommy points out that they don't have a coloring book, so Angelica decides to color on Stu and Didi's road map instead. She uses a purple marker, which results in Stu and Didi taking a wrong turn when they look over the map (as the path to the Grand Canyon was also purple) and ending up in a ghost town. | |

Ninjago: In the pilot, the ninja arrive at the site where Samukai and his army are digging in search of the first of the Golden Weapons based off of the map for finding the Weapons. Once they steal the map back, Jay notices that Samukai was holding it upside down and is therefore digging at the wrong spot. This gives the ninja the opportunity to reach the actual location of the first Weapon before Samukai's army can, but said army blocks their path once they try to leave. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In "Arrgh!", Mr. Krabs becomes obsessed with finding the Flying Dutchman's treasure and gets SpongeBob and Patrick involved. He puts Patrick in charge of the compass, and he directs them to go west when Mr. Krabs requests east, simply because he thought Mr. Krabs said "weast". In "Squid's on a Bus", SpongeBob takes out a giant map and puts it on the bus's window. It's upside-down, so he has to flip it over. |

The Pagemaster: Averted by Long John Silver. After getting two moronic reads from his crew ("It's in the middle, by the waterfall." "No, it's east, by some broccoli."), Silver snatches the map away and turns it so that he can tell his crew that the treasure is west by a tree. He never budges from that spot until the map is read right, although one has to wonder why he let his idiot crew try to read it first. | |
