Google Gas Station?!


Well not exactly, but thanks to Gilbarco Veeder-Root, a leading provider of pumps and dispensers to the retail convenience and fuel market, Google Maps will now be integrated into the company’s newest offering. Customers will soon be able to display maps and find local points of interest via the companies encore line of fuel dispensers as they stand by their pump waiting to fuel their car. According to the company’s release, customer will be able to search Google’s local business listings as well as print driving directions right there at the pump. The system is an alternative that, according to Kirsten Paust, the company’s VP of Glocal Retail Systems, is “safer than using internet-enabled devices from the driver’s seat and far more reliable than just asking a stranger”
