That’s a pretty cool idea because I am one of those people that hates asking for directions. (I bought a Tom Tom though).

I never understood those states where you can’t pump your own gas. I live in California and I’ve never, in my life, had someone else pump gas for me. I’ve always thought that was kind of bizarre.

That is an awesome concept. Leave it to Google to innovate. It won’t be long though before Google incorporates ads into this feature. I think they will wait until it becomes more widespread, then open up the features to allow more locations – with the ability to print coupons, ads, etc. It sounds like a wonderful marketing idea.

That does sound like a pretty cool idea.

Looks very handy. I hope to see this around soon. On the other hand, Google gave us very crappy directions to Georgetown today. Fortunately we found a nice lady who helped us get there.
