Driving while holding an A-Z on the steering wheel is definitely a lost art.

Sadly not enough of them left in some places to do this anymore

I remember a long time ago on an unfamiliar journey I used a laptop and serial GPS plugged into a 12V DC-AC inverter. I ran some mapping software (can't remember what, probably keygen hacked) to give satnav-like routing. I'd say that this was around 2002, before phones were smart enough even to have displays that could be used as maps. Since that didn't have voice announcements at all I don't bother having them turned on in any car.

I graduated onto a PocketPC running TomTom in 2003. All plumbed in for charging. Between that and the disembodied voice from the ‘TraficMaster’ it was basically a vision of the future shoehorned into a Vectra SRi

Junior salesman’s first quarterly bonus burning a hole in my pocket as I walked down Tottenham Court Road, as I recall.
