I read an article titled "Google at the Gas Pump" the url link is: http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/11/07/google.pump.ap/index.html

The article I read this week was very interesting. The article was about how Google is teaming up with the company Gilbarco Veeder-Root to make finding your driving destination a little bit easier. At a few thousand pumps around the country there will be an internet connection that allows drivers to use Google Maps. At the pumps the drivers can scroll through many categories such as local landmarks, hotels, restaurants, and hospitals that are selected by the gas station owner. Once the driver selects a location the directions can be printed off. Gilbarco Veeder-Root plans on one day giving drivers the option to look up an address instead of scrolling through locations.

I enjoyed reading this article. I think that having the ability to look up directions at a gas pump is a great idea. Gas stations with these pumps will be favored over other gas stations.
