I've had the very fortunate opportunity to get a sneak peek at the future of GPS navigation. The future where 3D maps and integrated traffic are old school.

The ability to show all vehicles driving near you on your GPS navigation screen. If one car
Is it possible that GPS navigation systems could save lives? I think it is. Of course I'm partially biased because a woman almost ran me off the road today.
Unfortunately, I didn't get a good look at the woman because she was wearing a large, unfolded paper map on her face.
Now I'm not a driving instructor but I'm pretty sure this kind of driving is frowned upon. And if not, I'm definitely sure

The 'for Dummies' brand from Wiley is famous worldwide, and Wiley has taken one step further by fleshing out the FD-35 GPS Navigation for Dummies device. While 2 million Points-of-Interest (POIs) might sound like a lot in theory, it actually isn't enough for most people. Manufactured by Maylog, the jury is still out on the FD-35 GPS navigation device on whether it is user friendly or not. For instance, the specifications claim that the FD-35 contains maps of both US and Canada, but displays an Italian language screen instead. Perhaps that's just a mistake on the graphic artist's part - does anyone else know anything about this? You'll get the FD-35 with each purchase of this book this Fall, just like how the Digital Camera for Dummies book came with a barebones digital camera for you to start snapping.(Via UberGizmo, the Gadgets News Blog.)
