in the 80s you could call AAA and tell them where you're planning to go on a road trip and they would send you a spiralbound roadmap of the route with gas stations, hotels, and construction zones highlighted

Part of me still misses TripTiks. It was fun to go through them ahead of trips and always have that nicely printed, spiral bound book with you on the road.

At some point in the 90s they automated TripTiks with the idea that you'd print them at home yourself. It was all the same info but the magic was gone.

Nice!

I wonder if there is a print-on-demand service that will still make these for you. Could certainly DIY.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Ah yeah, that's the good stuff. I always got the side-bound version.

Wonder if a day will come when they stop making road atlases:

Remake it and call it TripTok

My grandma actually recommended I do this last year. I was already contacting AAA about some other thing, and jokingly brought up road trips. They went, "Yeah we can help!" I was kinda adorable.

[โ€“] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm sure you were... But what does that have to do with what they said?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

They only agreed to help because OP was just so darn cute.

My father was an itinerant minister. He traveled all over the country. We made great use of TripTik (I think that's what it was called).
