Map Lines is a C# application that primarily allows you to digitalize points on images by drawing lines between them. It saves the pixel coordinates of points on the line in a file. It was originally designed to trace old railroad beds in Northern Wisconsin that had been drawn by hand on USGS geologic maps by James P. Kaysen with the purpose in mind to display these digitally in an application such as Google Maps. It can more generally be used to draw GPS tracks or other data on an image of a map, such as one with hiking trails.
