honda maps crime on your dash

Apr 22, 2008 gps navigation, misc news

Honda of Japan is about to release a new service that will tap into police databases all over the country to bring drivers a ‘crime’ rating for each region on their GPS navigation system.

The system will be in use as early this week in Japan and will consider incidents where cars have been stolen or broken into in the past.

The system may be feasible in a country like Japan where crime rates are relatively low but in the U.S. this could overcrowd your display very very fast… via
