I would like to write long notes on the map. Not a single character (glyph) with a color and a comment, but a colored text on a map. Like the attached picture. If there would a way to set the orientation (like vertical text), that would be perfect.

Aren’t tiny notes good enough? You can use symbols along with the notes to help you memorize stuff.

If you need to write detailed notes like what you stashed in a certain place you’d probably be better off writing it in a book or paper

I know this is not what you mean, but at least gives you a bit more of customization, is a note not an essay.

And i think that kind of note (like the waldo) is not a note, but a tag, so maybe there has to be some serious coding to make it posible to make notes like that
