The research, commissioned by TrekAce, which creates GPS-powered navigational aids, revealed that some men will go hundreds of miles out of their way – around 900 miles over 50 years to be exact – rather than stop and ask someone for directions. Just 6% admitted that, upon realising they were lost, they would either stop and ask for help to avoid driving further unnecessary miles, or check a map.
However, 14% said they will continue on their journey until they find an alternative route, as opposed to asking for help or admitting they are wrong.
Almost 1,000 people took part in the research, with an overwhelming majority (94%) agreeing that women are better when it comes to navigation – even if men are reluctant to admit it.
It isn't always smooth sailing for couples, however, as one in three confessed to reacting badly to their partner's poor sense of direction, usually resulting in an argument.
A spokesperson for the company is quoted as saying: "It's incredible to think that we waste so much of our precious time getting lost. The results of this survey reinforce what many have believed for years that men are not the best navigators.
"But it also shows the extreme lengths that men are going to avoid asking for directions, or going the right way in the first place. It is clear we still need a bit of a helping hand when it comes to tacking unfamiliar and even familiar territory."
