The First GPS With In-Built Breathalyser. Hic February 23, 2008Read more Cars , Gadgets , Gizmodo UK , Mobile Devices , Motoring , Technology
We recently had the new Medion GoPal P4425 sat-nav device, sporting the first fingerprint reader and now we have the G400 GPS navigation system from Ndrive which sports the first breathalyser.
On the side of the device is an integrated alcohol sensor that can measure just how much alcohol is in your blood. After calibrating itself and cleaning and excluding any alcohol from the air that might be on the sensor, you just blow into the side to find out if you’re too pissed for the school run. The Portuguese are getting this first and it costs around £150. Check out the video below to see it in action. -Martin Lynch Post a new comment |

Companies are starting to add some interesting, and odd, features to their GPS devices in order to help them stand out from the crowd.

though i own a fairly decent and advanced breathalyser (mostly because it is fun to see how smashed you are throughout the night), i think building one into a gps is a bad idea because it will cause people to drive closer to the limit. sofar, few people have them so hopefully they play it safe, but i can see people getting to 0.79 (uk limit 0.8) and driving off. i have been shocked at how much it actually takes to get to the limit and am amazed at what this sets its limits at, which are the most liberal in europe. bottom line, if your gonna drive, dont drink a drop!
