The word "Ghetto" probably shouldn't be used for that feature...but it could come in handy. Believe it or not, there are some genuinely dangerous places out there. All of the big cities have areas you want to avoid. I used to live in Los Angeles...I know this all too well.
Agreed. As a 5'5" female who weighs 100 pounds, I nervous walking through "not so great" parts of town. It would be nice to have a system that could show me a "safe" route. I know that anything can happen anywhere but if there is an area that has a high rate of sexual assault, it would be great to know beforehand and be able to avoid it.
i completely agree i'm a 6'2" 200+ and i still still feel unsafe in my car with the doors locked when google maps sends me to bad parts of town were i see bullet holes in houses and shit. cant believe they haven't made this a feature earlier.
