(5 stars)...an ability to see fuel prices. Please please add that function. GREATNESS!!! (5 stars) I am soooo glad that you added YELP! This makes searching reliable. And integration with my TOMTOM app makes it even better. Def one of my favorite apps. Wikimapia (4 stars) Cannot find some locations eventhough they are in wikimapia site.
