They are markers type 0 and 1, used to locate yards, towns, etc. When creating the *.mkr file the last data item is the marker type.
There are several marker creation programs in the library.

Those are track markers.
They're used for showing where you want to put your track down.
They're very good for use as a guide for track, roads, rivers, buildings, etc.
You put them in your route using the ROUTENAME.mkr file, which can be generated using several different utility programs offered free of charge by the good folks who frequent this forum. Do a search under "markers" in the library. For more information, call 1-800-Search Under "Markers" in this forum.Andy
