sat-nav
Dashboard route finder
Sat-nav is British shorthand for satellite navigation—the GPS system that guides drivers with turn-by-turn directions: The sat-nav says to turn left in 500 meters.
It refers both to the technology and the device itself: I need to update my sat-nav.
Americans typically say GPS.
