Is this Prius on a ship or an island?

    The PriusChat maps show the locations of some of us. There are not many on the Europe map but one seems to be floating on a remote part of the Norwegian Sea, just south of the Arctic Circle. I guess it's about 200 miles west of the Norway coast at perhaps 64 degrees N and 7 degrees W. I can't find an island there (although I haven't got a large scale map of the area) and am wondering if this Prius is on an anchored ship in trouble, or has just been dumped in the ocean.
    It's puzzling. Perhaps someone in Norway knows the answer?


    I've now (5 Jan) had another look at the map and see that the Prius symbol is gone. Maybe it sunk?

    I'm guessing that it's an offshore oil rig.

    I've sent a Private Message to emizzion to check the location of their pin and sent a link to this thread to provide an explination if needed.

    For the longest time, there was a Prius in the mid-Atlantic off the coast of Canada. :)

    That one had the Amphibian Kit. It's in the Mediterranean as we speak. B)

    That still leaves GoWhiteSox who's floating in the southern Carribean, south of Cuba...

    I like the Member Map, but the inability to zoom in, like the <a href=\'http://www.frappr.com/priusowners/map\' target=\'_blank\'>Frappr Prius Owners</a> map, makes accurate location difficult. Lots more Europeans on that map. And it's OK to put yourself on both!

    Maybe it's Elian Gonzalez trying to flee Cuba again. He got smart this time and is trying to go somewhere else. Nav system seems to be all ahoo though. Canada is NORTH man!

    I guess Captain Nemo has gone hybrid, and retrofitted a Prius.
