This is a great idea. I would love to have this work with iguidance.

I dont suppose this will ever work in Canada will it?

dont fret if there is a gas site in canada as well as a database of canadian zips/lon lats then your good to go

Thanks, lost.

BTW, if you need help with AutoIt code to enter the lat/lon into iGuidance or code to calculate the lat/lon from an address (using terraserver.microsoft.com), let me know. I've written those.

ive been playinng with geocoding the gas stations and it appears that the results can be anywhere from 2 to 500 ft off in the few trials i made

sometimes on totally different streets because geocoding is not exact
do you want this feature included as is with geocoding or would you prefer we try to enter the full addresses of locations into iguidance

its the nature of gps i suppose but if we do simply addresses there will be many no hits on adresses because IG can be quite finicky with street names

Made some progress mostly on the backend but heres a shot

Better or worse?
im thinking a few buttons added like:
closest gas
cheapest reg
cheapest plus
cheapest premium etc

and of course a navigate to location button as well

EDIT changed picture
