Data sources
Who publishes what we show you
WayBeacon does not survey a single price or measure a single bridge. Every layer on the map is somebody else's open data, mostly a state road authority or a fuel price scheme, and each of those 31 registers has its own page here: what it covers, how we use it, and what its licence lets you do.
Where a custodian states a licence, we name it and say what it permits. Where one does not, we say that instead of guessing: 10 of 31 are published openly with terms we have not confirmed.

Coverage is not even, and the holes are listed with the register on the about page. Whether each feed is actually running right now is on the status page, measured when you load it.
We are an independent app and not affiliated with or endorsed by any government body or any fuel brand. A station's brand name and colours appear on the map only to show whose pump it is. Prices can lag or be wrong, so always check the board at the bowser.
