Title: New "Avoid the Ghetto" Feature for GPS
Post by: fightingquaker13 on January 07, 2012, 12:07:39 PM

Speaking of Detroit, sorry Ulmus, Microsoft has a new app for your GPS linked phone. It lets you avoid high crime areas. There are so many jokes here I don't even know where to start, so I'll just leave the floor open.... ;D

Guess I can't avoid the ghetto - it's only for MS Windows phones. Given the hatred between MS and Google, it is unlikely this will ever show up on the Droids!  >:(

Someone I am sure will develop a similar Droid app - I hope!!!!

It's to compete with Apple Siri's "Hooker Finder"?

When will the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Rainbow/PUSH coalition be filing a brief? Soon, I expect, unless they're getting a cut..
