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
Notes should not be used to imply precise positioning or permission to enter.
- Open the place detail
- Write a concise practical note
- Try searching for a word from it
Decide what to try next
A user remembers a landmark but not the bookmark name. 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 |
