The
Sat Nav trolley
could soon be coming to Britain. The device will help shoppers by
guiding them around the store to the items they want to buy. It will
also suggest recipe ideas based on the food that you put into them. The
trolley is made by Media Cart in conjunction with Microsoft and could
be in UK supermarkets by 2009. It will also be able to download your
shopping list and plot the quickest route around the store, depending
on what you want to purchase. The trolleys are fitted with a location
device so they know where in the store, they can they work out what the
best route is from the current location to the product the customer
requires. It seems like an interesting idea, I wonder how well they
work in practice.
