Well, the "create a placemark map" works nicely :) Although I really
expected to be able to just click directly on the map, not have to
push the button first.

I can't wait to see what you come up with for "create an advanced
map". I've been wanting something to replicate Google's "my places"
for a long time. Here's a use case if you want one:
- I want to be able to draw a single map overlay that shows all the
cycle tours I've done around my home state. I like to be able to see
at a glance which areas I've never been to - maybe I'll go there next.
Different colors for different kinds of trips. I'd be really happy if
a single route could combine road-following and straight line segments
(eg, riding where there is not a road on OSM).

Incidentally, do you think the question at the start ("which kind of
map?") is necessary? Isn't a placemark map just an advanced map that
only has one placemark? It would also be useful to be able to caption
this "placemark map" somehow.
