We all know there are certain places we'd rather not park our cars. Likewise, there are also certain place we'd rather not even drive our cars. Neighborhoods that just aren't safe at night... you roll up to red lights keeping plenty of open space in front just in case you need to make a quick escape. I also know a few places that aren't even safe in daylight hours.
TomTom should have an option where you can block off entire neighborhoods as unsafe for travel. They can put this in their Safety preferences section. Connect this to MapShare so out-of-towners can also benefit. There's only one thing worse than being lost in a new city and that's being lost in an unsafe neighborhood. Cops stay out of these places so why should you take any chances?
Maybe I should start a new thread in the POI forum taking suggestions for bad Chicago area neighborhoods. Then I could create a custom ov2 file where a POI icon can be strategically placed on every major street heading into the high crime zone. You can turn on a custom POI alert, "turn around now", or "caution, lock your doors".
