Back in the seventies anytime I took a trip out of state my Dad would get me a AAA trip book. Each page had a short section of the highway and in a yellow marker it would show exits, towns etc. You'd flip the pages over every 40 miles and people referred to them as flip books.

I found them to be quite useful but now they seem kind of quaint. It would show gas stations and motels at the exits. Every year they'd publish a new one, wish I'd saved one now but they were really meant to be disposable.

We aren't very far from the days that Google/Alexa will ask as you start the engine where do you want to go today and just take you there with little effort on your part. In a way its like we're all going to have robot chauffeurs.
