Touchscreen Guides at Munich Airport

The Munich Airport is undergoing some small upgrades, and taking use of impressive technology.

Now they have touchscreen kiosks throughout the airport. You can touch a flight to find out the status, or you can use it to search for food, drink, and services throughout the airport. Even better, there's an interactive map that will walk you there.

We find our flight info, search for the Paulaner biergarten, and then get directions to the rental car pickup.

Slick!

Maybe I'll make use of it next week on a flight to Romania, or in June on our flights to the U.S. I am pleased to see that the Erdinger pub gets a listing there (that's where I'd head, versus Paulaner).

Did the service listings mention the #1 (in my humble opinion) most useful service in the Munich airport? If you've got something with you, which you can't take on the plane, but have already checked your luggage and can no longer retrieve it (say a pocketknife), you can park it for a low fee at the airport until you return to retrieve it. I think it's in Terminal 1, in the Zentralbereich, on the lower level, sort of out-of-the-way in a nondescript little office. Probably a perfect candidate for the interactive map / guided directions.
