Nice idea. I get my info from the local facebook group, which seems to have a thread in the morning and evening.
A couple of thoughts:
1) I live in the middle of a number of ESSO stations, it's hard to know which one it is, based on a distance, and I dont want to click through to directions. Local facebook group users just give the neighbourhood it's in.
2) The information is very time sensitive, you could order results based on recent update, or availability, instead of closeness or perhaps just emphasise that the update was a long time ago etc. Related to that, try for the time info a bit easier to grasp. 1334m, 23 hours, a day ago, etc
Related to that, the majority of stations information are about a day old, but the results say it was updated 10 mins ago. This results update time information doesnt mean as much as the freshness from a station.
going back to the facebook group, there is a kind of social network reward for contributing and updating others.
- sztanko 5y agoThanks, these are great ideas. Names and locations of fuel stations are coming from openstreetmap, and it most cases it doesn't have good addresses. I will add ability to edit locations and addresses of the fuel stations when submitting the updates. Eventually this could be added back to OSM. Information here is fully crowdsourced, and the project is around 8 hours old. The more people contribute, the better it gets.
