OnStar offering free services to Super Bowl attendees


Thousands of football fans will converge in the near future to Arlington, Texas for Super Bowl XLV. Visitors are filling area hotel rooms and jam restaurants and pubs. This is good news for local businesses, but thanks to impossible traffic, it is a bum deal for all that goes through the city. And since the Super Bowl also brings massive increased security, many roads closed, police and private security firms have fewer opportunities to examine details. Thank God for GPS, is not it? Not so much.

Super Bowl organizers have asked that visitors of the printed game skip in favor of the GPS directions on their parking permits. That's an awfully similar processes to the digital world, but owners of OnStar-equipped vehicles from General Motors still get turn-by-turn directions. Subscribers will have "privileged access " to the routes and road closures passed by specially trained OnStar advisers during the event. You do not have to turn-by-Turn subscription package to the service, to receive either; GM, it is free only for the big game. Hit the jump for the official press release OnStar.
