Looking for petrol station around your area ?
January 9th, 2008 | by winsonlee |
On my way back from kee’s place just now suddenly thought of drinking midori sprite. Went to coles to get a bottle of sprite. Usually when I come back from work, I past by quite a few shell petrol station. Yesterday I was trying to search for the shell petrol price. The only place I can find for shell petrol price is at http://www.shell.com/home/page/au-en/shell_for_motorists/petrol_pricing/price_search/app_price_search_0221.html
and what make it worse is I need to search for individual petrol price through the suburb drop down menu. Sometimes programming can make wonders. What I wanted to achieve through the given problem ? Having individual petrol station displayed on the map. When user click on the petrol station icon, the price for the day is displayed. At the bottom of the map, a bar chart will display the price according to individual petrol station. At this point of time, I can only think of a problem that I do not have a solution to it. As the location of the petrol station is only given by the suburb name, the location may not be accurate. Not unless if I am able to find out the exact address for all the petrol station or else the given location is just an estimation. This project is developed base on my personal needs and interest. Petrol price gets more and more expensive and finding the correct time and location to pump petrol is essential. Any feedback to this project?
