Like the Internet, GPS is an essential element of the global information infrastructure. GPS technology is found in everything from cell phones and wristwatches to shipping containers, and ATM’s. The system boosts productivity across a wide swath of the economy, to include farming, construction, mining, surveying, supply chain management and more. Major communications networks, banking systems, financial markets, and power grids depend on GPS and the technology is embedded in virtually every US military asset making our armed forces safer and more effective. www.lockheedmartin.com

Last September, FOX 2 tailed an ambulance for an evening to find out. What we found was that over half the ambulances were broken and out of service, over-worked paramedics who were driving around without so much as a road map. The rigs had no computers or GPS systems. So here we are more than two months later? Have the ambulances been fixed? Have GPS systems been installed in rigs and operable? Have more paramedics been hired? The short answer from the fire department is — patience. (Second piece I shot and cut with Charlie LeDuff)

What are they up to? Why they need to be at the destination is a good question but the bigger mystery is whether they are ever going to make it! One thing is for sure, it is very funny. We all hate how GPS systems are getting way too complicated.

Starring the talented Jasmin Geljo and Yvette McKoy or if I might say: “Beauty and the Beast”. LOL

The cabdrivers are attending the board meeting to demand that the PPA live up to its promise of removing the failing GPS systems from city cabs and looking for another partner. One month ago, on January 23rd the PPA warned the private contractor, Veriphone Transportation Systems, that they have one month to get the failing GPS systems to work properly in city cabs. Drivers claim that in the last month the GPS systems have not improved; continually malfunctioning and at times shutting down altogether. The problems with the GPS systems have left the cities cab dispatching system in tatters, forcing drivers to lose money and consumers to have a more difficult time finding cabs, particularly outside of Center City. President of TWA Ronald Blount explains “this is even worse as drivers subsidize the GPS system paying a month.” In conjunction with the GPS systems, the TWA is also demanding that the PPA not assign dramatic meter increases in cab fares. TWA members explain …
