Sat Nav may be responsible for preventing a lot of relationship breakdowns – men get lost, and women give bad directions. They’re just two facts of modern life that we all need to come to terms with and so the Satellite Navigation systems that many of us have come to rely on do so much more than help us find our way to a location we’ve never been before. They could genuinely preserve the sanity of the driver and passengers, as well as maintain an amicable ambience from within the vehicle – a much better way to start your holiday.

The Sat Nag is the most satirical take on this imaginable and combines the two perfectly. At less than £10 (£7.99 from IWOOT) it’s clearly not got a valuable function, but it does contain a raft load of funny quotes including such gems as “In 100 metres turn left. No right, err, no left. Sorry, I never can tell my left from my right” and “I know you’re a man, but it’s been 35 minutes now, so can you please admit you’re lost and ask someone the way”.

The map also displays those essential local roads, such as backseat drive and earache avenue. Using the Sat Nag there’s a very real chance you’ll still get lost but at least you’ll laugh about it when you do.
