at the moment we have to click through the options to find out which islands have a "surplus/sought out" of goods. But we have to fiddle around, figure out where we are, and which islands are closest by going back to the ship and checking the map.
when we look into the book the map could be shown. additionally there could be a list of the outposts on the right and a visual of the resource that they're seeking.
or you could just have the map next to the table
You can use rare thief's map here with a visual representation, but it's not really that hard to understand the book.

The issues I see with using websites, is that the trade routes change every week and the websites have to manually update them.
If it were something in-game other than a menu, I think that could be pretty cool.
I like this idea
Why not just a map at the outpost?
Step 1: grab a scrap piece of paper
Step 2: grab the writing implement of your choice
Step 3: write down what the book says
I think that is easier than cramming a map table on the docks. the more you play the better you will be at knowing which outpost is which from what it looks like, and where things are at on the seas in relation to each other. It's all part of the learning process, eventually you will only use the map to check for reapers, emissaries to reap, or where the heck that sneaky pirate hid the fort key.
