I think the craftable maps are a great addition except there is no way of marking points of interest for future refrence like mines you've made and whatnot. I figure the marker signs could craft like regular signs but with the addition of redstone somewhere in the mix. When placed they should put a marker dot on the map and like regular signs let you write a message that can appear on the map only limited to a very small number of characters so as not to take up too much space.
UPDATE: I like gzmc123's ideas. So I'm nixing the text labels and adding the ability to specify the color of the marker.
I absolutely agree with the idea except for the fact that you write text beside it. I think Flags would be more appropriate and you could craft flags then dye them to a certain color giving dyes another use.
