I wouldn't park there mate - Honda adds sat nav warnings

Quote:
Honda's latest innovation lets Japanese drivers know if they should be rolling up the windows and locking their doors, or if they've found the ideal spot to abandon their vehicle, by downloading local crime figures to their GPS unit.


What next? I wouldn't buy a house here? I wouldn't eat there?

Nice, I like that idea but I fear in some areas it would be easier to say where you 'could' park safely, much less data Wink
Edited for grammar only!

Or better still, leave the car at home, cover it with pillows, bury your head in the sand, click your heals together and sing 'there's no place like home, there's no place like home!' Laughing

The problem with this technique, although it does have some metits, is that it's now easier to steal your your car, or worse still, you are in the absolutely correct position to receive a smart kick in the b******s

Here is another idea for use of a Satnav - GPS burial sites.

What next? Rolling Eyes

I've made the initial topic a front page news item as it is very novel, further discussion here.
