GPS in NYC cabs

If you live in New York City and taken a cab within the last year, you’ve most likely come across the GPS / TV / Credit card machine thingy that was imposed upon the cabbies.

Problem is that if it’s raining like tonight (a mere drizzle), the GPS and credit card machines don’t work.

A – where the GPS claims we were
B – actual location

I guess it’s close enough – a mere 10 miles and about a $30 cab ride off. I had a good cabbie though.

Funny side-note, while looking for webpages for more info regarding this issue, I came across this – Hacking an NYC Taxi Screens -
