There's been talk recently in the US about a "Mileage Tax" that would tax users based on miles driven using GPS. While the new Administration has stated it wouldn't pursue such a tax, several States are investigating whether and how it could be applied.

MA Investigation topic of the "General Questions and Discussions" forums.

Posted 11/13/2005 - An oddity for a Sunday - in Paul's words here : "I guess this puts the final seal of approval on GPS navigation. According to The Register: The Queen has installed satellite navigation systems in her Daimler-Jaguar as well the fleet of limos - three Rollers, two Bentleys and three Daimlers - which whisk Her Maj between palace and public function"... ...
One has to wonder though how she dealt with the reception problems assocated with the use of a coated, or worse, of a bullet-proof windshield ;-) Bluetooth GPS, external antenna, re-rad ?
