Petrol Price Plugin for UK

Just a quick pic of a very rough project that I am now working on.

At first it will be a plugin but if all works well it might be able to add it to RR's source code using the gas prices as a base.

cool. Nice work

nice

damn it +1

another piece of the puzzle ,thats about to have the final peice put in.

nice 1 enforcer

hows your plugin getting the info,as i think the US ver. use's the zip.dat file,
so will your be on the same idea,and will we be able to Map it as in the US ver. to the gps software we us(tall order), i suppose ,if your plugin displays the station postcode its just a matter of entering that into the gps (Easy option),also idon't know where you got your list of stations from, but like most list they are all ways missing something, any chance of adding missing stations either through the plugin or manually into the list file.

i suppose i better get d6 to work with postcodes (sends me in the wrong place at the moment)

Do you need a tester? :D

My main issue at the moment is the other way round, I need to convert GPS to Post Code. Because at the moment you have to enter the post code to find the nearest stations, but it would be nice to do it from current GPS location.




And will you stop writing in red, it makes it harder to read and consequently I tend to skip your posts.
