[OSM-newbies] Simple local web mapping

A friend asked if there was a website where you could:

  * plot points, tracks and areas (with optional labels) on top of OSM
  * (optionally) import/export tracks from gpx/kml
  * make a permalink to the map.

I've dug through the wiki, and while Track drawing websites
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Track_drawing_websites> is a good
start, there are many sites which have ⅓ or ⅔ of these features, but not
all three:

  * *scribble* — http://aphes.com/map/scribble — doesn't have labelling
    or import, and seems to be a work in early progress;
  * *Show your journey* — http://syj.renevier.net/ — has import/export
    and linking, but no labelling (and also doesn't render gpx tracks
    when you first load a page on Firefox);
  * *GPS Visualizer* —
    http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/draw/?type=osm&zoom=17&center=43.649833,-79.376113
    — has really nice drawing tools, exports really well, but has no
    linking — and worse still, appears to force Google's Terms of Use
    even if drawing on top of OSM tiles.

Does anyone have any better suggestions, please?

cheers,
 Stewart
