Hi, I think that's slightly different to what I had in mind. My suggestion was to make a very simple way to make a map marker. For example, if a friend asks me where a restaurant is, or a park, I want to go to the map and quickly create a link with a marker to send to my friend. I can paste the link into email, or Facebook, or any chat program.
I can do this right now, but I need to edit the long permalink (or add "?m" to the short permalink). I'd like to skip this step.
