Hi Paul, 

we need to take care and stay current with development. If Max writes that, he 
probably means it, and there is no more difference between a waypoint and a 
marker, it's only what we use it for. Could be in 6.8 there is no more need to 
have different gestures for marker and waypoint, then. 

In that case labeling the button "drop marker" might just be misleading, since 
the term "marker" is historically preoccupied. To keep semantics consistent, 
and prevent users from expecting old behavior, then scratch their heads, we 
should therefore name it appropriately. (Make Point, New WPT, save coords, 
...?) 

Just so we are clear about "a marker is a waypoint": Are markers and waypoints 
in 6.8 technically identical, or are markers a subset of waypoints? 

If markers and waypoints were truly identical, there would be no more use in 
having two names for the very same thing. 

Best,
Martin
