Microsoft has just been granted a patent for a GPS feature that warns pedestrians to avoid areas where crime is high and apparently where the weather is bad, not that there's necessarily a correlation between the two.

A GPS device is used to find shortcuts and avoid traffic, but Microsoft’s patent states that a route can be plotted for pedestrians to avoid an “unsafe neighborhood or being in an open area that is subject to harsh temperatures.”
