To say you COULD care less means that you actually care more than the minimum possible of caring.

That means that you care more than someone who COULDN'T care less!

GET IT RIGHT PEOPLE.

Saying that you could care less is just pure wrong for the meaning you are trying to invoke.

If TOM TOM really wanted to get the maps right they could have their
unit notice when it was way off of the nearest road driving at a high
speed (say 25mph minimum) and record the route data (like waypoints or
routes in non-navigation GPS's). The minimum speed would be so that
they don't map all of the mall parking lots or drive thru's in
the world. Heck the unit could even tell you that you are in uncharted
territory and ask if you would like to save/share, etc the data. You
could type in the road name and other data if you wanted (so that the
unit could navigate to addresses in the new area). Then if they used
"map share" in a pseudo-democratic way and would only publish the new
map data once they had several confirmations of the new data from
different users (or release it as "uncertain" to be beta tested).

Statistically they would always be refining there maps since new
construction in well traveled areas would get a number of
confirmations rather quickly. As a business decision they would
eventually have better maps than the ones they are buying and could
stop buying them....

Maybe an invasion of privacy but what isn't these days.

By the way I agree on the voices. I would like to be able to add my
own messages sometimes. Like when your destination is "home" I would
like to change, "you have arrived at your destination" with something
more personal or "turnaround when possible" with "Your lost you
idiot. You need to listen to me. Turn around NOW."]]>Aug 22nd 2008 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/tomtom-go-940-live-surfaces-better-include-auto-pilot/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/tomtom-go-940-live-surfaces-better-include-auto-pilot/Aug 22nd 2008 9:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/tomtom-go-940-live-surfaces-better-include-auto-pilot/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/tomtom-go-940-live-surfaces-better-include-auto-pilot/Any other New Yorkers seeing this?]]>Aug 25th 2008 12:04PM
