My 2nd Best Toy

After my TiVo, my next best toy is the Navigation System in my Acura TL. It's great that I'm never lost and never need directions. While it doesn't always pick the best route, it will get you where you want to go and having a map right in front of you that's always centered on you and oriented correctly is really wonderful. If I hit traffic, I just take the next exit and it tells me how to go around it. But as the image below shows, what we can get here is nothing like what exists in Japan. This isn't a video game, it's Sony's new Linux-based in-car nav / infotainment product for Japan. Yes the buildings are real and I assume the traffic cones are up-to-date as well.
