Not much to really explain. A variation of the recipie used to create a sign that adds a marker on the map that is visible to all parties in the world. Could also add a small amount of text describing location to others, example; community center, castle, ect.
Any buildings you make that are big enough (I think the ratio is eight blocks together to make a pixel on the map) will show up on the map.
I've used them to find things that I've visited before quicker because I just build a quick eight by eight (or bigger) shrine.
While this is very true, something similar to a sign, that you can write a 2 line message on and have that automatically be added to a map would be very convenient. I would use it for marking caves or other things that aren't visible on most maps.

What happens in multiplayer though? You wouldn't be able to mark things without compromising the location to the one type of person who is most likely to scout around in search for raiding targets.

You could solve that by having the maps themselves become markable, so they only appear on that map. That way if you wanted to follow someone to their base, you toss them your map, they mark it, and then give it back. It works better and without a sign slapped randomly in your base.
