TheBrown57 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Someone seems to have already attempted a ghetto-related mapping exercise, in Ohio. (Credit: CC JimBobThe Boss/Flickr) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I'm black and I find this funny I hadn't noticed! One thing that stuck out like a sore thumb to me was this:How personalized should it be, though? My eyes perform slightly odd twitches when I read this sentence from the patent: "Various features can integrate with route presentment, such as integrating an advertisement targeted to a pedestrian with a direction set."Is this suggesting that Windows Phones will give pedestrians a route that will take them past specific ads? What a curious and slightly mind-altering thought.One wonders whether those who use the system might also be offered an "avoid ads" option.Maybe we could get an app written where you enter which states you have a CHL for, and it would warn you when you were getting close to a state that's not covered. I think that would be more useful for most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
