Spritpreise - An update to the colors on the gas station map

A recent update has fundamentally changed how the map displays gas station markers (green, yellow, red). Here is a brief explanation of the background.

Previously, the color sorting was always based on the lowest price within a wide radius of 25 kilometers. With the new update, this radius has been significantly reduced to 7.5 kilometers.

When you pan the map, the color sorting is now dynamically calculated in the background based on the new map center. This means that the color of a specific gas station is no longer fixed. It can change as soon as the visible area is moved.

This change makes the map view significantly more useful in everyday use. Especially in urban areas with a high density of gas stations, the color-coded differentiation now works much better, as irrelevant prices from the wider surrounding area no longer factor into the local assessment. This ensures that an accurate picture of the immediate surroundings is always displayed, making it noticeably easier to find the actual cheapest option on-site.
