Bookmarks are great. However occasionally it will be even greater to have a visible bookmark. Therefore in each bookmark's three dot menu, perhaps add an option to turn on its visibility. Then we could see the bookmark icon (a simple upside down teardrop would be good for starters) and its name sitting there on the screen.

For instance, today I'm mapping around a certain building in the hospital. They all look the same on the map so it should be great to have a marker sitting right on top of it in case I get confused which building it is. No I don't want to alter the OSM database. I just need a temporary marker. Nor do I want to make a marker that accidentally gets uploaded either. Nor would my current position be useful because it's different than the building I want to mark.

Or tomorrow I'm mapping areas in the Siberian forest and I want to put a marker where a certain lookout tower is, but because it is sensitive I don't want to put it in the OSM database etc. etc..

You might be worried about font sizes and icon styles etc. Don't worry about that. One size fits all would be fine for starters.

Such an enhancement would also be a great way to finally let users figure out exactly where a bookmark is on the screen. Yes we know it's in the center of the screen but where is the center of the screen?
