I found the African satnav one a bit offensive - as if conflicts happen all over Africa, or only in Africa.
I have actually had the experience of trying to get around a small part of Sudan in a car which had a satnav fitted (though it did not have Sudanese maps installed), and what is actually needed is for the GPS coordinates for Sudanese towns to be plugged into the system; that would make life easier for everyone, especially honest travellers of peaceable intent.
Perhaps it would be funnier if I knew anything about Portal 2.
I agree that it's not just Africa that has problems - the same would be true in any area where there's a lot of conflict. Africa tends to be characterised that way, and it's undoubtedly true of many other areas. I wouldn't want to drive through large chunks of Central America, for instance, without checking what kind of territory I was about to go through.
While "Africa tends to be characterised that way", I have spent a lot of time in Africa, usually in the area of Cape Town. It's a bit like if the first thing that came to mind for people's association for "Europe" was Irish jokes.
