Frappr is extremely heavy.  It has add-ons like pictures and other annoying
additions.  Open Street Maps or Open Aerial Maps might be a way to do it.
Also the Seattle Free Wireless project has a pretty nice dynamic google map
editing feature they use at http://map.seattlewireless.net.

Any of the three might do the trick with a little customization.

Oh wait, Open Street Maps doesn't like Gnash, and it's other editor requires
non-free Java.  Hrrm, I would bet that Open Aerial Maps uses the same
codebase.  So WNmap might be the best choice.
