Pins could do some things but not all. If you are using RW to manage third party content, like I am, you will generally find that you have two maps. In the 31 years I have been gaming the maps have really come a long way. From simple black and white sketches to full color pieces of art. Some publishers have gone so far as to make the artwork on the Player map hide rooms so the the players can not meta game and look for a door over there as there is a void in the art.

At this point I have to choose to use either the Player map or the DM map. Both have pros and cons, but the reality is we need both....that's why they make both. We need to be able to put the DM map in the overlay and be able to reveal portions of it as needed. If the overlay had a separate "fog of world" you could easily and cleanly insert 90%+ of the maps by third party publishers.
