Find Nearest Gas Station using Google Map App on your Phone

When you are in your car, away from home on a holiday, or in a new place, it can be really difficult to find the closest gas station. For such situations, you must have the Google Maps app app installed on your mobile phone.

If you do not have it installed on your mobile phone, make sure you get it asap before you hit the road again.
