Antique GPS Navigation (1932)

July 16th, 2010 by gisiana Leave a reply »

Here is probably one of the first in-car GPS navigation systems in the world; designed in 1930′s. You may call this map guidance tool since this device had nothing to do with giving directions or geostationary satellites.

(Possibly) called Iter Avto, it works using rolling key map and the speed of rolling depended on the speed of the car.
And if you ever wanted to make a turn into a new street you’d have to find the scroll paper for that street and quickly swap it in.
