An engine-component for a vehicle dat's designed to reduce da number of times dat da clueless macho "nut behind da steering wheel" gets tangled up wif intersections and is therefore obliged to (horrors!) **ask directions**. Similar to an ignition-interlock to prevent inebriated driving, said device checks to see if you have a paper roads-diagram guide wif you, and if none is detected, it refuses to allow da car to power up.
Now dat most newer rides are equipped wif vehicle-navigation systems, there is less need for map sensors.

Get the map sensor mug.A engine component dat detects when da vehicle's "manly-macho" driver needs to pull over and ask fer directions.
Click and Clack recommend covering an unwelcome-status-indicating idiot-light or dashboard-gauge with opaque tape, so if you truly detest having to admit dat you weren't watching da road-signs, I s'pose dat you could do likewise for a map-sensor, as well.

Commonly used on Twitter. The origin of MAP (and MAP pride) came from Twitter, pedophiles came together to make a acronym that would disguise them and make them look innocent as pedo looks much worse. They soon came up with MAP which stands for minor attracted person.
They (pedophiles) used it in tags, usernames, and even in merchandise! It was easy to lure children when the acronym surfaced because almost no one knew what it meant. After a while children caught on and some even started supporting MAPs, kids would make groups with the maps and arrange meetings (most of the time they got captured/went missing).
A few Twitter months later normal citizens got curious and went to look up what MAP meant. They were disgusted with the results and informed the platform and others that MAPs were pedophiles. YouTube's made videos to spread the message of kids being kidnapped and how it was wrong to support MAPs, the tag on Twitter was taken down but new ones rised. Thankfully the tags now are never used seriously.

Get the MAP mug.Instead of travelling 'round the world like gypsies and pirates, actually figuring out a plan of action, and sticking to it, before undertaking any project of scale.
If you don't want to suffer the consequences of having done something retargerous, why not simply follow the map to Stalingrad?
