Abstract

A plurality of electronic guide devices (1-1) are preferably stored, indexed, maintained, and selectively vended from a microprocessor controlled vending machine (2-1). The customer uses the guide device while traversing an area of interest to provide facts, history, stories, destination information, entertainment, and other relevant information. The invention is also directed to a system of enclosures or units, each including a plurality of electronic guide devices, in which the guide devices are stored, indexed, maintained, and selectively vended from a microprocessor controlled vending machine. The units communicate with one another via either a CPU (2-7) of another machine or a server (2-15) to maximize the efficiency of delivering fully operational guide devices.
