A vehicle trip information manipulation device capable of collecting and recording travel related data from a motor vehicle and receiving broadcast data enabling computation of real time factors. The data collected and recorded includes the time and date of each trip, the beginning and ending odometer reading of each trip, the maximum, minimum, and average speed of the trip, and the fuel and maintenance information for the vehicle. The received information may include traffic reports, connecting travel information such as flight status, and various other business data. The invention also includes a means for downloading the collected data to an external device, such as a computer or a printer.
