ABSTRACT:
A route mapping device comprising a transluscent map and a plurality of first light conducting fibers, the ends of which are disposed at points behind said map corresponding to locations of customers to whom deliveries may be made. Switching circuitry which includes a plurality of switches is provided for selectively directing light into each of said first light conducting fibers. A plurality of second light conducting fibers, each with one end adjacent the end of one of said first light conducting fibers behind said map, extend to a point proximate the switches which correspond to said first light conducting fibers to assist in designating the customers indicated by said switches. In another embodiment, the device comprises a conventional computer terminal with a keyboard and cathode ray tube display with a map on the surface thereof in communication with a computer which is programmed to direct the cathode ray tube to display lights through said map corresponding to customer locations. The computer is also programmed to compile a list of customers according to the order in which customer codes are entered through the keyboard.
