Philadelphia Cabs’ GPS to be fixed

Owing to several complains lodged by cabbies about the inconsistency of the global positioning system installed in taxis, the Philadelphia Parking Authority officials has finally agreed to fix this anomaly once and for all.

Some two years back cabbies have been ordered to put GPS system in their taxis and almost the same period there have been several complaints about inaccuracy in the installed GPS device.

Many a time drivers have to rely on their instincts since they do not get good directions from the device and this has also impeded the authority from monitoring their location.

The head of the PPA's Taxi and Limo Division, Jim Nye said that a solution is on the way through a vendor called VTS has installed fixes which will be tested for two months for consistency.
