Mile post location display system

A location display system for a vehicle comprising:

• transducer means for generating an electrical output signal which varies in accordance with rotation of a wheel of the vehicle;
• mileage setting means accessible to the vehicle operator and including numerical digit and function keys operable for generating input signals representative of a mile post designation and incrementing or decrementing instructions;
• calculator means responsive to said input signals and said transducer electrical output signal for performing arithmetic calculation on said signals and for generating an electrical output signal representing the position of the vehicle relative to said mile post designation;
• and
• a display coupled to said calculator means for visually displaying said output signal generated by said calculator means.

A mile post location display system for a vehicle comprising:

• computing circuit means;
• input means connected to said computing circuit means for entering digits of numbers representing an initial mile post designation and incrementing or decrementing commands into said computing circuit means;
• means for generating a distance signal responsive to a predetermined distance traveled by the vehicle and for entering said distance signal into said computing circuit means, said computing circuit means incrementing or decrementing said initial mile designation in response to said distance signal to generate an output signal representing the location of the vehicle with respect to subsequent mile posts;
• and
• means for visually displaying said output signal generated by said computing circuit means.
