Question: Adding pins to an image

Looking for software or a website for this specific function: I have an image, a map from several hundred years ago. I'd like to put pins on it, marking addresses of people. Ideally, I'd be able to label these pins with names, and then be able to search through those later on.

I'd like a solution that works for both Windows and Mac computers. Free is, as always, preferred to paid.

This doesn't have to be map-specific at all - any image editor with this functionality will work just fine!

You used to be able to do this using Google Maps... There's a bunch of info out there, but you might start with MapLib.net (example: Lord of the Rings map).
