Which makes sense, as 640x480 does not leave room for a lot of text.

Why would it need an editor? If we would include an initially empty
map (i.e. without any annotations) and the GUI interface to move the
cursor to any point on the map, creating new annotations as well as
reading or erasing old ones should be fairly straightforward.

True. It might be something we could implement for 0.4.1 perhaps. I
don't think it would have to be in the game from the start.

So maybe this should be considered as another canditate for the post
0.4 roadmap :-).
