Spain Considers GPS Mis-use Illegal
Wow in a bold move, Spain is considering making it illegal to use/type on a GPS system while driving. The fine would be €300 as well as three points removed from the driving license. Apparently the lawmakers said that navigation systems and interacting with/typing on them while driving can cause a distraction and that about half of car accidents are caused by driver distractions.
If this type of law gains momentum, expect voice recognition capabilities to become widespread. It's now featured on the Magellan Maestro 4050.
