Define satnav

(And an opportunity to tell a favourite joke. An explorer was ashore on a jungle island when he was captured by natives. They tied him to a tree in the baking heat, and he became conscious of a drumming coming from the jungle. After 2 hours one of the islanders came over to him. Sweating from the heat and fear, he begged to know what would happen to him. The islander who luckily spoke perfect English said "You won't like what happens when the drumming stops." He stayed tied to the tree for 3 days, the drumming beat from the jungle dominating his senses. Every few hours, a local wandered over, and on being begged for news of the explorer's fate, repeated the line "You won't like it when the drumming stops." Eventually the explorer, nearly mad from fear, screamed at the tormenting figure "What happens when the drumming stops!?!?" The islander smiled pityingly and said "Then the bass solo starts."
