Neat discovery on-line
Some of you might (probably) already know about this. For the others: If you, like me, are often concerned about finding a gas station that is easy to enter and, more importantly, easy to exit. I've run across a means on-line that will allow you, based on the location you expect to have to refuel, to look at stations in that area and pick out the one that would provide best access and egress. Here are the steps example:
1. Type in "Gas stations, Marathon, fl, overseas highway"
2. An insert map will come up with stations in that area identified with alpha letters i.e. a, b, c, etc.
3. Click on...say "b" and you see a small picture of the station on the upper left of the screen (street view). Click on this small screen.
4. A full screen picture of station will appear.
5. Depress and hold left mouse and drag the picture around for a full 360o view.
This process makes it easy to identify stations you will be able to easily enter and leave.
