Map markers or pins with a tooltip

It would be very nice for GM's to have a marker they can throw on a map then mouse over it and get a text box pop-up; It would also be nice to be able to insert a text box instead of copy and paste and then try and arrange things into readable paragraphs instead of one long line of words.

I am surprised no one else thinks this is a good suggestion.Tool tips people. Think of the possibilities.

Alternatively, is there another website that let's you upload map images and mark them up with pins? Obsidian Portal does , but only one map unless you are a paid subscriber. You could just create a pin as a transparent png file and add text as you go. Not a perfect solution but a good workaround.

I think this is an awesome idea. I'd also like the ability to create index cards: add the card, then you can write text on it, erase it, modify it, drag the card around, etc. (You can do this with text already, but I want a backing that is separate from the map background so it's obviously a token)

Lovely idea! Drop pins, attach notes to the pins. Effectively, the pins would just be tokens, so it's the text pop-up part that's new.

Luke , regarding the text art tool, you can hit enter to create a new line thus preventing 'one long line'.

Gauss said: Luke , regarding the text art tool, you can hit enter to create a new line thus preventing 'one long line'. Yes. I understand this, but what I am talking about is if I copy/paste a paragraph from a PDF or something it would be nice to be able to drop the text into a box in the size/location that works best for me. The way its working now is that if I copy a paragraph from a pdf and drop into the text box it comes out in one long string. Am I doing something wrong?

This would be nice, so +1. Ability to set tooltips for tokens could serve many functions, not just the above mentioned ones. :)

Perhaps I am not understanding completely. What I understand: You are copying and pasting a paragraph into the text art tool and it is coming out as one long string? If I am correct in my understanding you can manually hit enter. In any case, I am only addressing how to use the tools we currently have, I do not (generally) comment on the suggestions themselves. :)

Gauss said: If I am correct in my understanding you can manually hit enter. Yes that's true but you have to search through the string of text after its pasted to hit enter in the places you want to build a readable paragraph. Do you understand what I am talking about? I might be doing it wrong.
