WaymarkDescribe the symptom
Save a place from a current position when you have usable location information, or enter coordinates through the manual workflow. Give the record a name you can recognise weeks later. A practical note describes an identifying landmark or entrance without suggesting that the coordinate guarantees access. If the location is private or sensitive, consider that before exporting it to another app.
A saved Waymark place carries a name, coordinates, capture time and accuracy at capture, with optional notes and a photo. It is a bookmark for a real location rather than a street-address search result. A place saved from a weak fix keeps that original uncertainty; a later, better reading does not rewrite the evidence that existed when the place was captured.
Work through these checks
Small geometric separation may be less than the capture uncertainty.
- Use different names
- Describe the identifying entrance or feature
- Inspect each record before returning
Decide what to try next
A user saves a meeting area and a car in the same park. This is an illustrative scenario, not measured field-test evidence.
Reopen the place after saving and read its name, note and coordinate information. Search works across names and notes, so descriptive text is more useful than a series of identical labels. A photo can help recognise a gate or parking area, but it is supporting context. Find It Back still uses the saved coordinate and the current location, not an interpretation of the photo.
Quick reference
| Item | Meaning | Keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| Saved coordinate | The captured or entered destination | Does not choose a road or entrance automatically |
| Accuracy at capture | Uncertainty retained with the record | A later fix does not rewrite it |
| Current distance | Direct distance from current location | Needs current position and is not a route length |
