My navigator has just told me he will not be available for a planned run tomorrow, so I have no-one to read my tulip diagram. It occurs to me that there ought to be a device containing a couple of cylinders set a small distance apart whereby a set of route instructions can would round the bottom cylinder, affixed to the top cylinder, and the paper containing the route advanced by turning the top cylinder. The whole thing to be attached somewhere within easy view of the driver. Don’t rally co-drivers have something like this?
So, before I go trying to make one, does anyone know if such a device exists? Failing that, it'll be setting coordinate-based waypoints on the satnav - which is a bit of a fag.

They use devices like that in the fifties on Rallies.
Not sure the practical of reading and trying to drive.

Sounds like you're gonna spend the afternoon in the shed strapping two toilet roll holders together!

Most modern navigators have pace notes written in book form or stapled sheets that they turn over.PS not so easy when the top is down.

My navigator used a ring bound book. He could correct as we went as some stages were used more than once and often the notes need changing as conditions change. The biker world have plastic box versions of what you type for a fraction of the cost of the item in the link and I have seen some nifty home made versions housed in a plastic sandwich box with wood dowels and a glued in clear plastic window.

You can get the simple version from here. http://www.vmccshop.net/p/5948/route-roller-oxford-productsI use to use one on my classic BMWs in the good old days. They work well....as long as you remember to roll it on at every junction!
