Excerpt:
The following is a brief account of our experiences while participating in General Motors’ TravTek Demonstration Project.  TravTek is an advanced navigation system for automobiles.  This system consists of a color CRT unit used to display various maps for general navigation and location specific attractions and services, as well as voice guidance.  The system we used was housed in a rental car, presenting an ideal situation for the evaluation because drivers of rented cars are often unfamiliar with both the geographical area (hence the desire for a guidance system) and the particular display/control interface of the rented vehicle (an argument against added complexity).
