maps

its so hard to get good maps, and good data! all I want is a list of gas stations in north america and an approximate GPS coordinate, I'd even settle for a city name next to the gas station, but alas, all I can find so far is some pseudo accurate search tool demo.kivera.com. I found a reasonable article talking about digital maps on gpsinformation.org

maybe a grass-roots movement is needed to start putting gps cordinates on EVERYTHING - and then doublechecking eachothers work. it's like geo-caching, but something where collectively we have military grade precision off of consumer products - i just hope the new zeland cruise missle guy doesn't abuse the info
