Thanks James, That's exactly what I did...  Put my info in the info line....
https://aprs.fi/#!mt=roadmap&z=11&call=a%2FN5MBM-1%2Ca%2FN5MBM-2%2Ca%2FN5MBM-3%2Ca%2FN5MBM-4%2Ca%2FN5MBM-5%2Ca%2FN5MBM-6&timerange=3600&tail=3600
It works like a champ!

Hi Bill,
Below is what I have in my gps.conf file. I x'ed out my password.
What ever you put in the comment line should show up on the map when you
click on it.
I have my node number and local repeater info that I monitor.
Hope this works for you.
73,
Jim KF5LBT
