Hi Martin I agree. Placing a waypoint in pan mode would make more sense than placing a marker. A marker is to mark something interesting during flight like a thermal source or something on the ground that caught your attention and you'd like to remember where it is.
The only reason why I'd want to place a "point" in pan mode is because the waypoint file I'm using doesn't have a waypoint I require for a personal task. Placing a waypoint directly in pan mode would speed up the process considerably.
