Google Maps Navigation isn't bad for being free, but if I ever get my own car I might just buy a TomTom. So cool.

I don't think the chip will have your exact location, it'll likely be a rough estimate simply to figure out whether or not you're inside a certain area that an alert is issued for. That way, if you're on vacation in Wyoming and there's an alert in NYC, you won't get a message.
it's the principle and the potential you should be wary of. why are you so trusting of your government and higher authority? always be suspicious of power. always. even if it's masquerading as the most benevolent and charitable power imaginable-- power's very nature means it needs a check from the general populace. just allowing stuff like this because it "doesn't sound all that bad" is to completely ignore your duty to individual liberty. there's nothing stopping a chip in your phone that 'only' detects your vague area from suddenly detecting your precise location in a time of need.
this is true

Hurricane needs a navigator that has an "avoid the ghetto" feature.

But then he'd never make it home.

I wonder if U-Boat paid to have their watch so prominently featured.

Cool idea though, I like it. I wouldn't be too worried about them selling my data. The first time I got a speeding ticket from data off my SatNav, it'd be straight on eBay.
