    Looks like they are making these sat nav unit now so that they control all of the multimedia in your car i.e. your cell phone, radio, ipod, etc. What is good b/c technology is contantly being upgraded and changing so whatever changes whether it's your car, your phone, your ipod, or whatever new device they make in a few years... your tomtom unit will be compatible with it or upgraded to be compatible with it!

    I use a TT 910 which has bluetooth and mp3 capability so it is already combining the technology of my phone and muisc files that are downloaded from my computer

    It sound like tomtom is only going to increase there relationship with the automotive industry......

    It will happen in the very near future,you will break the speed limit,your GPS will notify the satellite and the fine will automatically be debited from your account

    And you wont be able to argue with it because it you will have to agreed to it before you drive ie EULA

    Geeee....that would def be freaky if the government used a chip to monitor you. Now that I think about it they could already being doing that with cell phones. I'm getting to the point where my TT 910 sat nav unit is almost as important to me as my celly. I checked it for gov tracking chips and didn't find any...lol

    DeviceDemon now who do you think installed and monitors the SatNav system??? If you guessed the US Military, you'd be right. Who issued the law to equip all tires with RF Tags??? US Government. Who monitors ALL phone calls World Wide??? Yep you got it right again the US Government. Right now they are talking about having a National ID chip implanted in all US citizens, ostensibly to stop the "Terrorist Threat".

    This is not some Conspiratorist Theory this is an actual fact, of what is happening right now.rolleyes rolleyes

    There is already a system set up to fingerprint and store DNA samples of all convicted felons.

    The same system can be used by parents to store info on their kids to help locate runaways and kidnap victims.

    The obvious next step is implanted chips.

    Then of course double-speak and SOMA for everyone.

    Orwell and Huxley were right on the money. Albeit it didn't happen as soon as they thought it would.

    Hurrah for us! :puke

    You shouldn't have got me started.

    This is the newest techno advancement to see if your baby is worth the 9 months of carrying it.

    "This is potentially one of the biggest steps forward to determine genetic conditions in the fetus. The ability to make an early diagnosis is the key that opens the door for the future treatment of many birth defects before the child is born," says Dr. Moise. "This shows promise as an excellent alternative to amniocentesis and may give expectant parents peace of mind."

    Aaaawh Live Dangerously DeviceDemon go and take both of themLOL LOL . The only thing still on an Inflationary Spiral is Government Bureaucracy, after all their the only ones who seem to think they KNOW what we are suppose to do. After all were just a bunch of two year olds that need to be told what to do, where to go, and how to think:mad :mad :crap Least that's what they always try to tell me.

    That's why I love my present job, Grumpy Old Retired Geezer G.R.O.G. . Us GROGs just love to spend our days throwing heavy stuff into the Government Machine and watch it grind and clunk awayLOL LOL LOL
