I agree, LB, but using GCMap there isn't really an option to have either notes, or colour-coded tags for each airport. I certainly don't want to discourage visitors from going to places like Swan Hill or others that are helpful towards visiting pilots - even if they do have an AirBP bowser!

Give me a day or two and I'll re-do the map in Google Earth and use coloured icons that can be changed based on reports from the field for such things as "Can get friendly assistance if needed" or "We rocked up as a flight of 3 and the thieving bastards tried to charge us 3 callout fees".
