2nd Generation GPS

Hi guys,

I've done a bit of research on 2nd generation GPS for cars.

1st generation: just maps, GPS can give you directions and tell where you are.

2nd generation: live traffic information is available in a subscription service to modify your route

3rd generation (I just made this up): Traffic/roads will adjust to the requirements of road users

This might be a useful way for us to explain our service.
