GPS and Cheap Gas
So AT&T brings up a Samsung Blackjack smart phone they want me to try out, which means I have to find a use for it. I found it in the GPS that is onboard the phone.
The wayfinding technology includes a link to a site that finds the cheapest gas stations in a particular location. Users can select the location by zipcode or let the GPS find stations in the phone’s location.
It was an “aha!” moment. As a result, I let the phone guide me to a gas station in far north Oklahoma City that promised gas for $3.67 a gallon Friday.
See Saturday’s Business section for the results. And check for a video that documented the cheap gas search.
