Do You Know The Way To San Jose?
Finally, a new solution from Google that I can actually see everyone using, and I mean everyone. Well, everyone except the guy who won’t stop and ask for directions in the first place.
Lost drivers soon will be able to Google for help at the pump. As part of a partnership to be announced Wednesday, the online search leader will dispense driving directions at thousands of gasoline pumps across the United States beginning early next month.
The pumps, made by Gilbarco Veeder-Root, include an Internet connection and will display Google’s mapping service in color on a small screen. Motorists will be able to scroll through several categories to find local landmarks, hotels, restaurants and hospitals selected by the gas station’s owner.
After the driver selects a destination, the pump will print out directions. Eventually, Gilbarco Veeder-Root hopes to enable motorists to type in a specific address and get directions.
I’ll take the maps anyday, rather than those annoying news clips they play at some stations.

That has got to be one of the coolest ideas I have heard of. Who needs navigation in your car when you can just pull over and get some gas? Google has done it again, those are some smart folks.
