Just chalk it up to male pride? That's such a fallacy. The reason men never ask for directions is because they never get lost; they merely discover new places and exciting shortcuts all while increasing their geographic understanding of an area. Back off.
While it might seem like a good idea to make gas pumps smarter, putting computers and Google maps systems in them is completely worthless. Don't get me wrong, I love Google maps. It is half the reasons I bought my phone. But why develop an incentive for gas stations to replace perfectly adequate equipment, especially when we really need to be getting rid of gas pumps altogether? How about you put an Internet mapping kiosk in the mini-mart instead? That way you're more likely to sell impulse items while cardinally impaired individuals wander in seeking help.
We should start thinking about what to do with gas stations now, while electric vehicles charging in everyone's homes are just a wisp on the imagination. Before they know it they'll be the RIAA trying to pedal goods in stores that consumers would rather get sent electronically whilst in their pajamas. You hear me service station owners? Start thinking of reasons for electric motorists to stop at your establishments or you'll start to feel the pinch sooner than you know.
Oh, and I get pissed off enough waiting for people to pump their gas, let alone waiting for bumble to figure out which way the waffle house is from here. I will not stop at a gas station with maps at the pump.
