I agree that being able to specify marker text placement would be useful. My maps get very cluttered and often marker text is obliterated by other markers. Also, I use an arrow to indicate the precise position of an article on the ground; having the text offset in SE quadrant is confusng to my users. Having to specifiy quadrant and/or angle would be acceptible. Dragging would be better.
