I've found a couple tutorials on how to add different POI to trails, some show adding a point in the map editor, others a waypoint on a gpx log. What is the current method? Do I just a dd a point, can I add a point on an existing trail?

Thats what I wasn't sure on. I found some pages saying highway but other saying path. Was trying to figure out whats the most current.

I'm no expert but it's what I'd go for!
