[quote=jsteele]Calling the feature "Avoid Ghetto" is offensive and misleading. I wonder how that term ended up in the news report given that it doesn't appear in the patent application and Microsoft refused to comment for the report. Did some "reporter" just make it up? From the patent application, here is the description of this feature: "Production of the direction set can be based upon security information (e.g., avoiding unsafe neighborhoods), weather information (e.g., having a user travel indoors when rain is expected or taking place), terrain information (e.g., avoiding non-paved roads for an elderly pedestrian), or a combination thereof." The feature sounds interesting and calling it "Avoid Ghetto" is really a disservice. [/quote]
