If you can create one in ruby, i will use it.
I will take care of the revolutionizing it later. Eg, it would also be great
to include the tracks/routes and directions of each van. Each track will
have a unique color/outline and is unique for each van. Here in our
location, it is common for vehicles to reroute and it is important for us to
get the mileage result for proper fuel mgt :-)
