If you mix up words or misspell a place one usually ends up somewhere unplanned. 600km between Springfield, Texas (Jim Wells County) and Springfield, Texas (Anderson County). Half around the world if you mistype a coordinate (or mix up latitude and longitude or forget a minus sign).

Yes, wrong coordinates are much easier to detect. The 300km are too small to be clearly wrong, imagine a package being delivered from the East Coast.
