+1.

If only I had the time, I'd do something like this: present a map to 
which you can freely add multiple labelled markers, text notes, photos 
(maybe links to), lines and polylines, and gather these together under a 
simple URL (presumably it would be a handle to the info in some 
database), without any registration, so you can hand someone a URL of 
the informal geographic information you want pass to them.

"start here" "follow this road" "easy to miss this turning" "I live here"...
