It is bar delimited, so just copy/paste this into http://www.batchgeocode.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and select bar delimited and you should be good to go.

I tested it and it could map 236/239 addresses. It wouldn't tell me which ones it couldn't map though.

Let me know if you need anything else on that output.
Awesome!

I was thinking that it could get to a point where we could get to something like Gas Buddy (a collaborative effort like Russell has done with http://texas3006.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or something like that.. it would be great for color coding for easy visual reference.. I uploaded Russel's data (this one still has all the Taco Cabana's in it but it is just something to play around with at this point...) I'm sure much smarter people than I (and more tech savvy) already know how to put it together as a collaborative map that can grow....

a very rough incomplete draft can be found at the following link to an Open Google Map...

Prolly a good place to remind everyone that the data on http://www.texas3006.com comes from user entries. It's only as extensive and accurate as we make it. So register on the site and in your travels always make notes when you see 30.06 signs. Get back home, check the site, and add your entries if they don't already exist. :mrgreen:

After the new release of the site if anyone is still interested in having raw access to the data I will have a special section of the site where you can login and retrieve it anytime you want :thumbs2:

Fantastic. Everyone who makes use of this owes you thanks for your hard work and ingenuity. Thank You!
