Your map works great for this. For all you Android users, the key is to open Michael's link on your phone using the Maps app (as opposed to the Browser)... the Browser works, but it's MUCH slower.
I actually saved your map as a bookmark on my home screen and set the default to open always with Maps. Here's how...
1) Open Michael's link on your phone with the Browser (preferably using TapaTalk to open the thread). Make sure that "Use by default for this action" is Unchecked (you’ll change this later).
2) Use the menu button and select "Bookmarks", then select the "Add" option for Michael's map.
3) Rename the bookmark "Fish Stores" and select "OK".
4) Use the back button to close the Browser and return to the home screen.
5) Add a Shortcut to your home screen and select "Bookmark".
6) Select "Fish Stores" from the list.
7) Open your new bookmark from your homes screen and put a check in the "Use by default for this action" box, then choose the "Maps" option.
That's it! Now every time you open "Fish Stores" from your home screen, it will automatically open Michael's map with the Maps app... showing your GPS location and where all the fish stores are around you.
You can even take this one step further if you use the Maps "Latitude" option and add local reefers to your Friends list. Then, you can see the GPS location of other reefers in your area too!
