GPS: Cab Drivers Strike Over GPS

We like GPS technology. But not anybody does...

Philadelphia cab drivers are PROTESTING a requirement by the Parking Authority to force them to install GPS gadgets in their cars.

Cab drivers say the GPS units cost too much, and would create traffic jams along routes preferred by GPS software.
