life - A GPS with Chinese characteristics



Shanghaiist noted this taxi with GPS-system. Having been in Europe for a while, I have noted the blessing of those systems who must have saved already many marriages. The machine is not only affordable, less than 3,000 Rmb, but allows the taxi driver to write characters on the screen.

The unit speaks to you and announces each approaching intersection. Our driver still somehow managed to get lost, but we don't think it was the device's fault.
