If you are one of those people who relies on their GPS to get you wherever you need to go, Geico has a new ad for you as part of its 'Count On' series. The penguins in the latest installment of the insurer’s 'The Great Penguin Migration' are having problems with their GPS as well.

In the spot, two penguins, en route to their annual breeding ground, are hopelessly lost on the ice. Problem is, they followed their GPS a little too closely, separating them from the rest of the group. It's tagged with the 'Count On' man's tag, "As long as GPS can still get you lost, you can count on Geico saving folks money."

To ensure accuracy on the dialogue, director Randy Krallman had the two voice actors together on set and went so far as to restrict their arm and leg movement so they had to shuffle around like penguins while they talked.
