any pointers on the best map for lpg filling stations? Have seen tomtom maps, paper maps, and on line maps. Some of the later seem to give varying info. For instance an lpg icon may not be a filling station but a bulk supplyer in industrial unit,no good turning up there at midnight on a late trip home.
 Some only seem to show certain fuel stations like shell, but not BP, or for instance 3 lpg stations in the Reading area when others show 6!

With the above in mind, do the tomtom maps differentiate between 24 hour filling stations and industrial units?

Suspect an old fashioned paper map may be best, anyone with any experience with this? Good or bad?

Autogas do their own map -- not sure as to the quality though.  Have a peek on the LPG forum too.

I have said paper map and I wasn't that impressed. Useful to chuck in the car for emergencies but not that up to date IME. Best bet, if you use a tomtom, is the various free POI files that lurk on the internet IMHO. Some do include off- forecourt and 9-5 weekday only stations but they are indicated as such IME.

I know this topic is very old, but maybe someone still need some POI of LPG for navi. You can get it here: http://poiplaza.com/index.php?p=sdb&d=398&lstpg=search

It might be an old thread but it's still relevant, as I struggled to find any decent information in the summer for a trip to Scotland...

Nice thought, but sadly, that's still quite out of date. Going by local knowledge. They still put installers on the map, when they don't sell gas, and don't differentiate the two.

Unfortunately it's not POI's, but by far the most accurate info I have managed to find is: www.filllpg.co.uk

Ooh I like the satellite view of each location. Very handy.

Updated by the users too so normally reasonably accurate

That said, it wasn't very iPhone friendly last I tried

Seems ok on iPad. Will try iPhone later.

I think this was the one I used in the summer, and I marked all the stations on the route on my map. Hardly the cutting edge of technology but effective all the same!!

If you asked on here then I will have recommended it Tried all of them I could find and this is the most accurate/reliable

For gayPhones, I use Shell and BP apps. If going to stay anywhere, I quickly look on Morrisons site for if their's are nearby (sadly, Asda don't have a public list of LPG stations).

As a last resort, petrolprices.com, but it is hit and miss.
