misnavigated
Took wrong route
Misnavigated is the past tense of misnavigate, meaning to navigate incorrectly—taking a wrong route, making errors in direction, or failing to reach an intended destination.
The term applies to physical travel and digital contexts alike: We misnavigated and ended up twenty miles off course, I misnavigated the website and couldn't find the checkout page.
