I could live with the phone book and the wind down window crank, but road maps were a super PIA...would use AAA for the Trip Ticket.

Yep; what a difference these technologies have made. Like John, I used the AAA Trip Tic on so many occasions and you're still looking down at the map and driving instructions. I was nearing retirement when the GPS was perfected. What a boon. I traveled, for the most part, in my job, from Monday through Friday. I set up appointments to see agencies all over my state of operation at the time and 5-7 calls per day was not unexpected. Maps were, for SURE, a PIA, as John suggests. GPS was a Godsend.

I've used all in my lifetime and would go back to all of them, except the road maps, in a heartbeat.  I too, used AAA when planning a trip back in the day.  Road maps were insane to look at and figure out. 

And I'll add one that wasn't included in the pic, the telephone.  I say bring it back!  The cell phone was a great invention, UNTIL it got wacked out with all the other junk on it (i.e. texting, games, photos, internet, etc., etc., etc.)   It should have just been kept a pocket phone for calling....period.
