Crime Stats on GPS maps
It’s a little late I found this, but it was a recent edition of a periodical I receive.
Honda is offering (not in the U.S. yet) a crime statistics outline on their GPS maps so you can avoid high crime areas and re-route your journey. This would be very handy if you have a donut spare tire or running low on fuel, or .. perhaps looking for a hotel on a late stormy evening.
There are no plans currently to offer this in the U.S. as I would imagine no vendor has the confidence to come forward and offer it, yet.
This sounds so interesting. On the other hand, can’t you kind of tell where the bad areas are just by looking around. I think this would be a really great feature to have if you were driving in unknown territory, and I hope that they do decide to offer it in the U.S. soon.
