We need better maps II
Following up on one of my concerns. People in Morzine, a french ski resort, came up with this concept: ski nav. It looks like an HP palm of some kind, retroffited with a different logo and a GPS. At 60 euros a week, it still is too expensive for a map in Paris. Well at least, being the power drawer they are, they can always warm you up when you are lost and cold.
Still looking for that sub-10 euro/dollar solution though....I think in an urban environment, one really needs to know pointing directions, answering the question: am I heading the right direction ?
Most tourists I have seen had taken the wrong turn only once. It was enough. And they get lost in broad daylight, no starnav for you...
