Created in 1930, the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! used paper maps ( !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ) that were on scrolls. The scrolling mechanism was attached to a speedometer type device, so the scrolling speed was proportional to the car's speed. It couldn't turn, though, so when a driver changed roads they had to pull over and swap the scroll to the new route.

Not surprised. It seems almost all "new" inventions have all been around for a long time. these new inventions are just modernized versions of the old ones.
