It's a really good idea.  I will have to think about doing something like 
this since fishing is a big time sport out here.

Something like that.  Was thinking of sort of a message base type system 
where users could link information to a specific lake/stream or even a 
segment of those waterways.  That way when you "click" on a specific portion 
of the map you would be able to retrieve information about that segment from 
other users.  Makes it more interactive that way.  Anyhow I have been picking 
away at it and as soon as I figure out a sensible format for display to a 
remote I will take it online.

Sorry to here about mom.  I also have been helping out with my mom who has 
Parkinson's and it does cut into programming time ... but it is mom after
