Online search engine giant Google recently announced a partnership with U.S. gas pump manufacturer Gilbarco Veeder-Root to begin integrating printable Google Maps into its fuel pumps. Via a colour screen, drivers will be able search in real time for local restaurants, stores, hospitals, etc., print directions and even get money-saving coupons via Gilbarco’s own existing system. “Getting directions at the pump is safer than using internet-enabled devices from the driver’s seat and far more reliable than just asking a stranger,” said Kirsten Paust, VP of global retail systems at Gilbarco Veeder-Root. No word on when of if the system will reach Canadian soil.
