Alright, my intention is to make an application for android that divines your location automatically via GPS and shows you the closest natural gas utilities using a govt. sponsored API. Maybe even provides navigation, if that's at all possible.
I really don't know where to start getting something like this integrated with the app in question. Where should I look to for help?

It won't let me post up URLs, since I'm quite new. It's the first result if you google 'alternative fuel stations api'.

Is this the link?
http://developer.nrel.gov/doc/alt-fuel-stations-v1

Interesting stuff. Seems to be mostly GET - what problems have you encountered using it?

I actually went back and made my way through a couple tutorials and that fixed my problem right quick. Thanks so much!
