Thumbs Up Ingame Update of POI

Is it at all possible to make an ingame "Add POI" feature? I would see this as a button on the map, which records the /loc and has a field for a header description and a full description.

This could be dumped into a text file and the eq2map updater could pick it up and upload it during the update process. (at startup)

This would imho allow the community to post new POIs more easily and thus contribute to the project.

Another thing I have been trying on, is a "record-map" UI, which basically allows you to "roam" an area, recording "/loc" automatically (instead of button). This way a file with loads of dots is created. (haven't figured out how to read the location as a 'live -feed')

Obviously roaming the walls provides best results. Although this is a lot of work to make, once done it could make it way easier to make new maps. =)
