A better idea for a map marker would be have the crafting recipe as:
The red wool can be replaced with any color, and once placed it looks like a sign but half of it is cut off and it is the color of what ever wool you used.
It shows up on the map like the icon of the player does, but it is a circle, and a little smaller and is the color of the wool.
That's fairly close to the suggestion. The difference is only the shape, and the fact the you have a recipe. I'll add the recipe, but the rest will stay as is.
Since it's a comment on another thread, rather than a thread ABOUT map copying, you may want to paste the quote into your OP or something, rather than linking. I'd expand on the idea with a thread of my own, but I don't want to duplicate suggestions.
Added it, and made the crafting recipe work with smilies.
The general idea of an atlas is to have a large book which can store multiple maps. One idea ([credit name, link to thread for discussion]) would be a book you can hold in your hands and behaves similarly to a map, but the image would be centered on the player's location and moves as the player moves. This atlas map would not record new terrain data, but would instead use data from all the maps the player has in his/her inventory, showing blank paper for areas not yet mapped, and giving newer maps priority over older ones is there is a conflict (if terrain has changed between the creation of two overlapping maps). This would allow the player to navigate over large distances without having to switch maps, and does not consume or destroy maps as some alternative ideas do.
Er, the guy's name and thread were meant to be inserted into the summary. If that's not the format you're going with, could you remove the first set of parentheses?
i have an idea, i don`t know if anyone else had posted an an idea like this
i have made an idea for maps, you all know and love maps, but people have been wondering
if they could write on maps and i have an idea for a pen!
its simple actually the flint stands for ink sack, they did not have a emoticon for it!!!
(crafting table, or inv screen, doesn`t matter)
and you can put up your map and draw stuff!
but to make it fun there should be limited ink, like a blank ink bar on the side of your map
so there you have it! thanks for reading, please leave a comment for......commenting.....
thanks!!!
EDIT: thanks you fishworshipper for reminding that it was called a quill, i totally forgot!
So I had this cool idea: A flag as a marker for maps.
But then, I see this idea has already been suggested. I was saddened.
So really, I just want to vouch for flags being used as map markers. Although, I think instead of a coloured dot it should be a little flag image on the map.
Like a tiny version of this:
This would make literally playing capture the flag a little strange though.
Being able to place marks on maps, copy them more easily, and mount them on walls like paintings are all excellent ideas than need to be implemented in the game as soon as possible.
Here are my Extremely Reposted Extremely Common Map Sugestions
Map
-Map Duh! Big Map
Place 4 Maps in a 2X2 on the crafting grid, this creates a Big Map that is 4 Times bigger then a normal map, however you cant hold it and look away like with a normal map, you have to switch to another item to see in front of you ATLAS
Place 3 Books in a straight up and down line then place 6 Big Maps next to them, this creates an Atlas, when held its like a normal item, when you right click it opens the ATLAS which is a GIANT Infi-Map that you can Click+Drag around and Place Colored Pointers, a Key, Notes, Etc in it
Imediatly when any other Maps are in your invitory, they will auto-combine with any existing Maps you have that cover the same area
I would really love to have an ATLAS so I could Map my massive world and find my way around in it.

The Sun rises in the North!Now these points of data make a beautiful line...

Summarized for the OP:
Added it.
Oh, sorry I didn't see it. Um... I guess all quote the OP of the recipe, and you on how it works?
Er, the guy's name and thread were meant to be inserted into the summary. If that's not the format you're going with, could you remove the first set of parentheses?
Added the link, and the crafting table idea with a link.

I sincerely hope that feature gets added in a future update...
