Adding Cabbie Know-How to Online MapsNobody knows how to get around a city like a taxi driver. A new method for creating online maps taps into that expertise.FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2010BY KATE GREENEE-mail Audio » PrintAnyone who's ridden in a taxi knows that cab drivers know their way around a city better than the average driver.

I continue to be concerned that technology is going to send a lot more speeding cars through neighborhood streets.  People think that subscribing to a service that directs them through the back ways and buying a car gives them the right to go at any speed anywhere they want to go.
