Iter Avto's forerunner GPS in the form of roller-moved map

SPAIN, - Iter Avto actually more like a map in the form of a roller which moves with the motion of the car. Map rotates in the middle, like a screen.

Then the principle of rotation similar to the speedometer which moves rely on the wheels. Iter Avto was placed just as people today put a global positioning system (GPS), which is in the middle under the dash.

A roll of paper illustrated the path and name of the dots and then pinned in it. Its use depends on the location that is being addressed. If the user wants to London for example, they must install a roll of special maps of London. If you move, have to change reels.

Brilliant compliment to the idea of ​​Iter Avto as a guide in the car out when it finally turned the car user. The map does not go turn because it can only be used when the car is moving straight.

The existence of any Avto Iter is unclear given the data producer and creator names such as lost time. However, if the talk "who first made", the guide had also made ​​a similar road in England, even 10 years earlier or the range of 1920. The device, called Plus Fours Routefinder is even more simple. Shaped like a wristwatch.

The principle works the same as the Iter Avto, using the roll map. However, the manual movement, namely playing around with your fingers.

it has been already used GPS, it's long before people understand by a guide device in the car sort of global positioning system, a product called by Iter Avto already made ​​in Spain in 1930.

Do not imagine the sophisticated in-car devices that rely on satellites such as made by ​​Alpine (1981) or Etrak (1983), or be asked to designate the road with our voices (the latter is recognized even make trouble). Iter Avto much simpler, just rely on the paper roll as a walking map.

Toyota Camry Atara SL replaces the Camry Grande

Toyota Australia released this week which SL Atara Camry replaces the Camry Grande, his predecessor. They tried to change the image of the Camry that according themotorreport.com during this "safe, but boring".

Atara is newly released this week has improved the quality of the interior, which makes this car more dynamic and loosely. The front seat is more advanced and more rear seat pushed back. This provides comfort for the passengers in the rear. Front seats are also equipped with electric pad makes this car comfortable on a long journey.

Impression of luxury was displayed through the surface of a padded seat and soft. His dashboard also looks and feels like what we might find in a premium car. Middle shelf (center stack) has a simple design yet elegant impression.

The downside of the interior is a bit hard backrest. Plastic knee-pads on both sides of the center stack of rough edges that reduce the impression of a high-class cars. Pillar trims also seems they're not too fit.

Atara Camry SL uses electric power steering system. The advantage is lighter than conventional hydraulic systems. To brake, Atara has genjotan brakes are not too deep so that the pedal is more responsive. This will further make the driver has a small risk in braking. In high-speed suspension control is very good for Camry.

SL also has a system to detect vehicles in blind spots (blindspot) driver. Obviously, this is good for security in terms of themselves and other motorists on the streets.

Atara has a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine equipped with six-speed automatic transmission is smooth. The result, he is more powerful but also efficient in fuel use. There are also additional torque so that it is capable of producing 181 horsepower and torque of 235 nanometers.

Although slow kickdown performance, Atara has paddle-shifters, shocks of this series Camry. Shifters can be useful to reduce transmission when driving going too fast (highway speeds). Looks like this sedan is designed for 'light' when driving slow, but became more 'weight' when speeding.
