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.

First post made to panoramio, GPS tags need to be in every camera now!

Just think what Microsoft’s photsynth from last year could do when the whole planet gets populated :)
