Is. it is kind of complicated because you have a grid system here but the numbers don't correspond to the grid. >> you're maligning new york city planning and not the cab drivers who have not figured out, let's say, the west village. >> your question presumes a fact not in evidence which is they already know where they're going. i have been in a lot of cabs that gps would have been our only salvation. >> where is the gps? something i think is lost generational generationally. i'm frequently looking at the gps. i don't know where anything is anymore whether new york or another city. >> you're l...
