1 year ago It would perhaps be more useful to generalise this (bike tourers for example care more about pubs or toilets than they do about petrol stations...)
So maybe make a widget that shows distance to next visible POI along the route (with a configurable tolerance for deviation). There could be a second widget showing distance to second next, or perhaps an alternative mode for the same widget when you tap it, to help decide how urgent a stop is. You could then handle which POIs you're interested in through quick actions.
Or if that seems too convoluted, maybe just make which POI it points to configurable in the options.
I think it'd also be useful to have an option to show the distance to the nearest (/second nearest) POI irrespective of direction [edit: I imagine that'd be way too expensive to constantly calculate routes for, so it'd have to be straight line measurement, but I could still see it being useful]

Description
POI Gas Station Widget that would show the distance to the next 1 or 2 gas stations within 1-2 kilometers of the route.
Describe the solution you'd like
POI Gas Station Widget that would show the distance to the next 1 or 2 gas stations within 1-2 kilometers of the route. This widget would go on the left or right panel. Sometimes a gas station is no longer there which is why 2 would be useful.
Would it be to slow to be useful?
Describe alternatives you've considered
Show POI along route does not show the distance to the next gas station without digging into the menus.
