Hi everyone, Following the recent UK Shell stations import, I've got ahold of the entire NavAds dataset. A major part of it are fuel stations all across the world: UK, US, France, Germany, Australia, and many other countries. We have the full permission to use the data, it is very recent (we ge

Ilya, Can you place the entire db online somewhere so we can look at a sample in our area? I tried to find some stations near me but the browse as points failed and looking at the data as a table isn't very user friendly. Thanks, Clifford On Wed, Mar 7, 2018 at 9:07 AM, Ilya Zverev wrote: > Hi

Here in Canada there was a push recently to add hundreds or thousands of missing gas stations across the country recently. It seems this dataset includes the Shell stations only (at least in BC), but it does seem generally accurate and helpful. The positions match very closely with existing station

I did a check in my area in western Washington State - they were all okay. One new stations (more on that later) but some additional information on others.
