Apple/Google Maps need to provide routes that don't take you into crime ridden areas.

Seriously. Driving back to NY with my wife, we wanted to stop along the way to visit a friend and the amount of times that the Maps app on my iPhone sent me into a neighborhood where my wife and I felt very unsafe and the likelihood of getting mugged or shot was high happened too many times.

Who says it's Apple? Maybe your phone just independently decided it wanted to kill you.

This idea was already discussed and was deemed racist. Onward please

What crimes did you witness that made you feel unsafe?

That is a great idea. A very practical application.

Millions of limousine liberals would download it on their smartphone.

They don't want to end up like Tom Cruise and Melanie Griffith in Bonfire of the Vanities.

Did you actually verify that these places were high crime?

Why are you asking this? If he said East St. Louis, Illinois, you'd argue with him or justify it.

My damn phone tried to send me right across the north side of Mobile once, where the unicorns live.

Any of you urban crusaders want to argue about the crime there?

I would probably agree with him in that case.

What made you feel endangered? Too many folks with darker skin? Seriously. NYC is one of the safest cities in the country. If all else fails, carry some pepper spray little man.

I'll have to go back and look but some shithole town near Baltimore. Felt like I was close to where The Wire takes place.

I keep imagining the OP is like Chevy Chase in Vacation.

(quote probably nowhere near accurate)

Honey, we can't turn a blind eye to the plight in our urban areas that surrounds us. Kids? Are you seeing all this plight?

OK...roll 'em up!

Why would it be racist... oh yeah. Like the time the maps app sent me into North BR when I was new to the city (and driving in general) and I got lost.
