Retail biodiesel locations on Google Maps

I got the itch to program up a custom Google Maps display showing all the U.S. retail biodiesel locations. Using the location list from biodiesel.org and after few days of figuring out how to parse the HTML down into an XML data file, it looks to be a useable map for seeing the locations.

see the Map

Each location is plotted with a marker corresponding to the location. The marker also indicates the highest blend (B100, B99, B50, B20, B2/B5) available at that site. Currently there are 489 locations in the data file. There are a few locations that are only accurate to the zipcode for plotting as their address did not resolve via the Tiger census data. 4 locations didn't even resolve via a zipcode and were hand corrected. Have fun looking

Wow, what a great thing you have offered to the movement with this google map! I really hope you have time to keep this updated. I would be happy to help you publicize this excellent map. For starters, I will be sending it out to a couple hundred folks who subscribe to our Biofuels Interest Group, a listserv launched by Piedmont Biofuels.

We have built a trail of B100 tanks throughout the piedmont of North Carolina. Here is a link to our own map: http://www.biofuels.coop/tanks.shtml

Membership in the coop is required to purchase, but I hope you can include these stations on your map.

Cheers!
John
