I would not try that to geolocate every restaurant and snack on the
island as it would not be easy to do that.

I have a map. It is not accurate though.

I don't have much experience with Google maps. I tested the location
API of the browser and I got the following:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=51.5412621,-0.08813879999999999&size=600x600&zoom=15
The location is incorrect. I tested with Waze. The position is off
by approximately 100 metres. The better option is not to rely on a
GPS fix only to bring down accuracy to within 10 metres.
