Google Gas Pump
November 7, 2007
The Gas pumps at 3500 stations will soon receive an interesting upgrade. Google Maps will be integrated in to these pumps to help people find their way. However, it isn’t all as good as it sounds as the Google Maps integrated (with small colour screen) will only direct you to local landmarks, hotels, restaurants and hospitals as well as other places selected by the gas station owner. Once you find your destination the directions can be printed out. Door to door mapping may become available at a later date which is why the service as it is now, isn’t that impressive.
Google will not be displaying adsense ads on the map pages and instead, coupons will be made available while filling up. These coupons will be provided by local retailers if they so wish to participate.
