Enough is enough! For women, who have often been berated by the opposite sex for being unable to read maps accurately, here is a wonder invention.

A Sydney-based fashion and technology company has invented a new jacket, called the Navigate jacket, that comes with - guess what? A GPS unit in its sleeves.

Whether you are walking, driving or cycling, the unobtrusive GPS system installed in the sleeves will vibrate to guide you in the right direction. The jacket comes with electronic circuits and LEDs stitched into the sleeves.

“The wearer programs their destination using a custom-made mapping app that connects wirelessly to the jacket. As the wearer moves, the LEDs in the jacket's sleeves light up to warn them they are approaching a turning. Each sleeve is fitted with five lights and the number of illuminated lights decrease the closer the wearer gets to this turning,” writes the Daily Mail.


This fashion garment cum functional device is likely to create a frenzy in the retail markets.
