In the Station Profile, where nearby stations are listed on the page, in addition to the address the cross street should also be shown, just as it is shown almost everywhere else on GB.

When looking for a gas station by only the address it may be more difficult to find if a driver is in an unfamiliar area, and there are many places where buildings don't have addresses clearly visible from a passing car.

GoGO - "Sometimes being able to put up a screenshot would be so helpful...."

Could you post it to photobucket or the like and link to it?

I thought with GB's new energy policy all bytes were recycled ?

Sometimes being able to put up a screenshot would be so helpful....

This suggestion has been added to the Suggestion Tracking List as a new subject.

It took a while for me to figure out what he was talking about even though it was worded properly. This kind of confusion could be eliminated by numbering every page on full sites and mobile apps. With an index of pages, the number would point out the exact thing being talked about. I know how expensive numbers are these days, but geeze....

The map shows the station in question. I was refering to the Nearby Stations list. It's only one more line of text, and would bring the nearbys list in line with the rest of the GB site.
