On google earth there is information about where to find resturants, thats all good. However i like to add a few functions. First, when i press on a resturant i like my gps to take me there, second, if i press a button i randomly get a question after a few hours about the food, service, value for money etc. This should be showed to all others besides the resturant within my GPS. So i only click on good resturants with value for money. This could be used for ordinary business as well. No more "pig in the bag" along the road. One rating per GPS!
I agree

I know that their title didn't really convey it, but this idea was suggested very recently.

Ironically, I imagine it would be really easy for a GPS mfg to add 'stars' to their database--I expect it is probably more related to responsibility/liability and who will pay them. They're unlikely to hire their own food critics, so they'd have to buy this data.
Also, as I said on the previous post, I find when I've traveled on business, most of the people I've been with would rather go to a chain they recognize than chance an unknown local place.
As for 'value for money', I expect most of us would have differing definitions of this. If you figure calories per dollar, McDonalds or KFC probably win. Or the all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet. You probably don't think that's funny...
