I voted for the GPS thingie. 

But it does look like it could be outside.
It only uses the trolley as a landmark.
Fifty-one miles seems awfully long for a cab ride!
Too detailed for directions over the phone.
Would motorists really use this detail?

It seems more like a GPS device for a bus driver, or a truck driver.

Hey, David, is there some wacky museum in Indy with all these things?

And, are you getting teasing lessons from Kerry? :)

I voted for Route info device used at trolley stations. Looks similar to notices at bus stops here in Sydney. They're also encased in glass. Just a guess.  ???

Route info device,so anyone elase who has voted for that option,change quickly, as I have not got one right.

Speaking of which is there a consollation prize for the person who consistantly gets it wrong???  It takes skill you know to be wrong every time. I have to quash the temptation to post the correct answer every time, and deliberatley post the wrong one. Talk about self scrifice !!! It goes against all my natural instincts.

I voted for Pre GPS navigational device.   

I've been going crazy looking at that thing b/c it reminded me of something but I couldn't put my finger on it, and then it finally hit me!  When I was little, I had a board game version of the TV game show "Concentration" and it came with this long roll of paper with all the picture clues on it, which was placed inside a plastic container with knobs that you turned to get to the next clue. 



Don't ask me what that has to do with anything .......  :laugh:  Another really good one, David - thanks!

I loved that game too! I had the board game like the one in Marie's post and I also remember watching it on TV!

I voted for driving instructions at a rest stop, but I think it's actually Amazon.com's prototype for the Kindle!   ;D
