So is this the politically correct version of the "avoid ghetto" function that people joke about?
In all seriousness though, it is pretty cool use of data mining and crowdsourcing.
- GigabyteCoin 12y agoI could have used a feature like that when my GPS told me to cut through the Chicago suburbs to avoid highway traffic on my trip across the U.S. last summer. I was nearly scared to death.
- scrapcode 12y agoMy first trip to California I flew into John Wayne and stayed in LA for a couple of months. On the way back to John Wayne in OC I attempted to avoid traffic. The app took me straight through a pretty bad part of Compton. That was a fun experience.

- LaikaF 12y agoWouldn't that be pretty easy to do with a crime map for an area? Just add an option to avoid high crime areas.
- pc86 12y agoThat's what the "avoid ghetto" function is, which really exists (and has for some time).
- peterwwillis 12y ago....where is this option? That kind of thing is invaluable in cities like Baltimore, Detroit, Miami, Philly, etc
- WiseWeasel 12y agoI say we start taking lots of pictures in the ghetto, just to screw with them. Who's with me?
