Them's Headstones, Not Speedbumps

Taxi drivers are striking because they don't want expensive GPS systems installed in their cars. Besides the cost, drivers are protesting their lack of privacy. Personally, I'm protesting the GPS system because it sucks! Here's a snapshot of the "expensive GPS" while on I-495, aka the Long Island Expressway.


The blue circle represents the taxi and according to the readout, we're driving through a cemetery. While on Lexington Avenue it thought we were on Park Avenue. At first, this wasn't surprising as the GPS in my own car isn't perfect when among tall buildings. The only time the taxi one was accurate was when we were at a stop light in Queens, away from skyscrapers. So, to recap: It doesn't work when you're moving and it doesn't work when you're near buildings ...(??)... way to go TLC!
