Updated & NYC cabs w/ GPS
Hans' blog URL, he changed it to midtowndiner.blogspot.com, so I changed the link on the right hand side list.
As I may have mentioned before, most NYC cabs will soon be required to have a GPS unit along with an LCD screen in the back seat. The screen will show news and information, and it's a touchscreen. You can also see maps, restaurants, etc., along with the course of your trip, so you know where you are at all times. Plus will be able to pay the cab with a credit card. Pretty nifty overall, big improvement. I took a cab at the airport the other day that already had the unit, see a pic below:
