Map Marker Lists organizer

Here you can browse through the marker lists and choose one that's suitable for the current map. You can duplicate, delete, or rename lists, add comments, and organize the lists into folders for easier reference. Any list can be customized in the Map Markers pane and saved for re-use if desired.

Each map contains a map marker list and begins with the default list from the template that is used to create it.
