Not sure if you can change the location icons easily to use something other than a pin?

For Anroid, there isn't a control panel setting for this. We are working on v1.5 for Anroid that will make this possible. In the meantime, to do this with v1.4, you'll need to dig in the source code in Eclipse. Have a look at Screen_LocationMap.java in the /src folder of the project. On around line 319 you'll see the method showMapPins that adds the markers for each location. This is where the icon is set. Comments Custom map-location properties are v1.5 only, which is iOS only.
