When I was a kid my family owned a device whose sole purpose was to rewind vhs tapes.

    Most of the ones I’ve seen actually had a map but the problem is that since it has no internet connection it can’t update when changes happen in real life.

    Therefore you have to go and find new and updated maps for it and a lot of them cannot be updated either due to new maps not being released for them anymore or the manufacturers expectation that there aren’t enough of those devices in service anymore for a map release to make sense.

      Oh I just looked it up and I was way behind on the technology leap those devices did! I was thinking of LCD 3 row displays. Nice to see those are available now!
