I needed a custom graphic and text on the location point and the book I used said it was not possible with MyLocationOverlay. Also later on I plan on adding a few more things that would not work with MyLocationOverlay.
Thanks P.S. If I have a method in my Activity to display a toast can I safely call it from the Overlay class?
