I agree on your first point--that "save" button is easy to miss; I'll add it in on a final version. (YouTube videos can't be revised, only replaced.)
Re: marking the current location, I think the sequence would be: <current position button>/menu/Use location/My Position/menu/Add GPX waypoint/ edit & save But I think it's easier just to long press on the current position, the blue dot, as shown on the map. That saves the first three steps. If the result is not quite centered, just press again.
