In 1984 the German Steven Lobbezoo invented also a navigation system.

Acura actually had a navigation system as an option in its 1990 Legend model that used a gyroscope and the odometer to figure out where it was – not GPS.

And a gentleman’s car I shall drive.

I do remember way back when
Hubby and I went autoing.
‘Twas early spring of nineteen ten,
Hubby was showing off his thing -
The Jones Live Map to use as guide
To get us to my mother’s place.
At first ’twas all quite a smooth ride.
Then Hubby slowed to a snail’s pace.
The Jones Yobel he gave a toot,
The horn of a “gentleman’s” sound,
Then called my mother an old coot,
And said ’twas time to turn around.

Hubby tooted his Yobel horn.
Hubby got my finger of scorn.
