If you ever have to travel to the Oakland airport in California (for business purposes I would imagine) and decide to drive to an out-of-the-way spot to get a bit a’ tucker because it was recommended to you for some reason, you might wind up transiting through East Side Oakland to get to your next destination.
Not a trip with a guaranteed life-expectancy involved there, especially if you have car troubles. A lowly GPS device does not know to stay away from dangerous areas. It is designed only to get from one point to another in an expeditious manner using the roadways programmed into its memory.
No matter the terrain involved.
“A lowly GPS device does not know to stay away from dangerous areas.”
They could easily program one that does, but there would be an outcry about the “racist” GPS, and it would get boycotted, like that “Ghetto Tracker” app.
You are implying that there are maps which are color-coded to indicate the ethnic make-up and/or crime rates of various neighborhoods.
That's rassis!

Indeed. My GPS always wants to send me through downtown Baltimore, which is as bad as Oakland.
I always print a Google map of the place I am going and use that along with the GPS. The GPS and I always get into disagreements about the route.
