    Question Annotate a current map

    Long time lurker, first time poster.
    Curious if anyone has found an easy/free solution to annotating a jpg? It's a particular problem of town/city maps due to information density, so I'm putting it here.

    Specifically, I have the attached lovely map of my medieval city (not my work, of course, this was the 16thC map of Kempten).
    I'd like to be able to annotate it digitally, to say "this person lives here" or "Church of Pelor" etc. in some way that's less kludgy than blowing up chunks of the map in sections, and hand-annotating numbers cross-indexed to a manual list of locations. It seems that there should be a digital solution?

    *Optimally* I'd like to
    - identify districts/neighborhoods/areas
    - post to the web (in which case it would be nice to flag some data as 'generally viewable' or 'my view only')

    I've tried umapper.com which is ok, but rather slow. I'd rather be doing the work locally, and then just upload it for dislpay/interaction, rather than working through some web UI.

    Someone must have already solved this? Thanks!
