The left six buttons are "sticky" buttons. When clicked they appear to be pushed in. Only one of these six buttons can be selected at a time. They dictate which markup feature options to display directly below the markup toolbar.

 

Note: Although the markup point option provides the user a way to add point features to the map, these features cannot be saved and re-used later. Once the user closes the mapping application all of the markup point features will be deleted. 

 

After the user selects the markup point button the following input boxes will appear:
