Information GPS System Offers 3-D, Without the Glasses

Navteq, the provider of digital map and traffic data, has rendered complex intersections in the 3-D for use by the GPS makers they sell data to. But it is not the kind of 3-D that requires you to wear those goofy glasses.

So this will cause the next jump in prices so you can be the first to have 3-D, good I can get a new old one cheaper soon.

If you look out of the windshield you can see the same thing.

The aviation industry is having the same problem. There has been alot of near crashes because people are lookin at screens like this instead of outside. They even draw the runway on all this new fancy stuff.

mmmm

I've seen a few people with the GPS mounted smack dab in front of them on the windshield.. thats scary!

I actually saw a lady driving down the highway with the gps right in front of her squinting to watch it instead of the road.. no exit for another 10 miles so she was driving with it not looking at directions WTF!

And you know those guys wouldve been ok if they had told the truth. The FAA doesnt really care what you do, to a point of course, if you dont lie about it. IDK why, but thats how they are. And everybody tries to lie then they get all mad and take their certificates away
