News: Satnav Supper: Ordering Your Food Via SatNav

pocketgpsworld.com
Thanks to developments in Japan, drivers could soon be getting their hands on their hamburgers much quicker by ordering it through their satnav system.

According to the Telegraph, a highly advanced in-car "Intel Transport System" (ITS), which is already being used in Japan for navigation, will now use wireless to allow drivers or their passengers to select items off a Mcdonald's menu thus allowing them to order their dinner before they physically reach the establishment.

The function is only available when drivers are within a set distance (of a couple of kilometres) of the restaurant, with the options chosen on the satnav screen relayed through the ITS network to the relevant establishment.

If the user uses an e-wallet or e-payment scheme, then payment could even be taken automatically, to make the process even less disruptive.
