Fuel Price Application?

[Coucher]

I've searched but can't seem to find if there's a fuel price application out there for Windows Mobile.

The Windows Mobile version of Garmin GPS has a nice feature where it uses your current GPS location and you can either list the closest stations, or choose premium/mid/reg/diesel and list the cheapest near by your current location.

Looks like www.gasbuddy.com offers an iPhone app that does something similar using Google Maps.

Perhaps there could be a project started to put together an app that could use the Gas Buddy info?

Just kind of brain storming here since I've been unable to find a solution so far.

Thoughts? Ideas?

agreed, live search has a pretty good gas finder built in. I prefer the garmin feature though... for those who can afford paying for the app.

Although Window's Live Search does have that feature, I was hoping there was more of a stand alone solution available as opposed to installing a more bundled type app.

I think something very similar to danielgary's Cinemo ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=516695 ) would be exceptional.

He already has a VERY clean and nice interface that is using web based data and GPS location.

I think something like his app, but for fuel prices would be great.

Sadly, I don't have the skill set to develop something on my own.

live search is great for this. it also works very well for finding movie show times and restaraunts. it seems there is a fair amount of request for iphone like apps such as urban sppon, cheap gas (or whatever its called) and the movie finder app, but many of these features and more are already present in live search. great piece of software in my opinion, but to each his own...

Thread from the dead time...


OK, now with gas prices going back up to or possibly beyond 2008 prices, what is out there? Bing doesn't do it like Live Search used to. When I've tried to scan and load gasbuddy.com's program it takes me to Zune.com for my PC.

So what is out there now? What is everyone using? What seems to work best?

Wow. Guess everyone's driving Prius'. Most every car forum I've seen has people crying that the sky is falling and some even have daily price posts from their area. Guess there's really nothing out there anymore for the WinMo crew.
