Google has announced a partnership with Gilbarco Veeder-Root, makers of gasoline pumps. Under the deal, Google Maps will be built into their pumps, letting motorists get driving directions...

...while topping off their tanks. Three thousand internet-enabled gas pumps across the country will get the new software, which will let them search Google Maps for businesses and find directions (directions to an address will be added later). There will be no ads, but they can print out coupons, which is one way Google can monetize.
