For the places with interesting views and such, I recommend a notepad and pencil. For all your badging needs, there's the badge-hunter website.
Better yet:
/loc_set <x> <y> <z> "<name>" - Sets a location to the current map.
/loc_save - Saves to a text file as above.
Then add a receive map notes toggle into options somewhere so you can turn off team map notes, if its on you get notes from your team mates. Perhaps adding two levels of notes, one is SG based and the other team based.
I'll have to play with that, Ninja. I had no idea you could do that 
I can add markers for my police stations!

You can't... LostNinja is proposing it as an idea. 
I pretty much use the Vidiotmaps overlay for everything the Op wants with the exception of the views.

Add a /loc_set here <name> as well so you can mark your current location

Great suggestions but I'm unclear about how you recall the information?

Its the same as what I have already suggested, on the minmap you would see a little icon showing your set location and you'd be able to share that with the team or SG, or by saving it /loc_save with anyone through use of a text file.
I think, given the day jobs (and my suggestion to increase the number of markers), this idea is brilliant. You make your own marker (however temporary - but more 'permanent' than a thumbtack) so that you can mark where you need to go to log off (police stations, for example, which aren't marked and *not* always near city-zone detectives).

I think it would be useful if we could add map markers client side. Not even for the team, but just for your self.
A simple txt file, in a profile folder for a character.
Say: map_name X Y Z marker name
It would allow us to mare the known locations of any mob we was hunting for a badge, places with interesting views, entrances to the mission in a TF/SF, day job locations we have found, and for people with out a vertical travel power places where there are staircases to ascend.
Sure some people would also use them to mark exploration badges and history plagues, and then share them. But that is already done throe various sites, and the only difference would be less need for alt+tab.
