Ever want to get to get back home if go a long way or get lost dodging mobs? The Landmark System works percisely that way. It is a 2 point system;
The first point is the location, which is set by a base, simply a block you place somewhere, it takes its own X and Z Vector values and memorizes them.
The second point being the director, a compass in this case, takes the Vector values from the set marker block, and will act as a regular compass, instead of pointing to the original spawn point.
Crafting and Info
Because of its versatility it should be somewhat costly to craft both pieces
Landmarker:
-- GI --
-- GI --
II IB II
II = Iron Ingot
IB = Iron Block
GI = Gold Ingot
Info: Crafting totals 11 Iron Ingots and 2 Gold Ingots.
Right clicking it will allow you to name the Landmark (e.g. Home, Mine, etc...)
Activate it by
Appearance: A sort of Antenna like block,
Designator:
-- GI --
-- CM --
-- LL --
GI = Gold Ingot
CM = Compass
LL = Lapis Lazuli
Info: To activate the Designator Right Click the Landmarker with the Designator equipped. In the infobox when hovering over the item, it will dispaly the name of the landmark it is tethered to, so you can identify it.
Antenna like block? Doesn't sound very minecraft-y . how about it points to the nearest beacon? Make it more expensive because iron is common and most people don't do much with gold anyways.

You are correct. However, getting a stack of 64 iron blocks in one trip does mean it's common.
This is, however, redundant. Please use the search bar.

Curse PremiumOh, the search bar that doesn't work?
Sure, I'll find nothing relevant to my original search, right?
Broken? I'm sorry. Something must be totally wrong with my browser,

All of these are the same concept as yours. Being craftable, buildable, or just being able to mark maps is irrelevant, it's the same idea of marking maps.
Edit: Don't start about how yours involves the compass, because that's there too.
