Google to Install Maps at Gas Stations

Courtesy NPR Programs: Morning Edition  Mon, 11/12/2007 - 5:00am

Internet search leader Google will install its maps feature at some gas stations next month.

About 3,500 gas pumps will be fitted with an Internet connection and a small color screen. You can type in where you want to go, and the pump will display a map.

It will even print directions for you.
