A feature that I'm sure most people would find helpful in the mobile app versions of Gasbuddy (I use the android version) would be the including the direction as well as the distance when finding prices near me. It is a bit frustrating to read that a good price is available 1 mile away, when I'm headed in the other direction. The addition of N, NW, W, SW, S... etc to the distance would be really helpful. Even more helpful would be the ability to restrict the search to locations in a particular direction from the current location.

Thanks

I agree this would be a very valuable addition to the mobile apps.

Even more useful than N S E W would be little arrows pointing the direction for the station. Then you would know IMMEDIATELY if you were coming up on the station or have already passed it.

I agree about adding a directional to the distance in the list, Supershuttle. I've thought the same thing myself.

Of course, we can always hit the "map view" button and see exactly where all those stations are. (But then you get into zooming in and out, and before you know it we might as well be texting behind the wheel!)
