    88  * Marker Layer [wiki:/Help/Menu/Marker (menu)]: Markers are specially identified points on the track. They come in four varieties: simple named markers, audio markers, image markers and web markers. They are created as a side effect of opening a GPX file, containing waypoints from that file, or from a set of waypoints artificially constructed using the context menu entry Make Sampled Audio Layer on the GPX layer, which produces only audio markers.
    99  * Photo Layer [wiki:/Help/Menu/PhotoLayer (menu)]: the context menu (right mouse) of a GPS layer provides the menu to import images. Using this feature allows to match digital images with the gps coordinates to ease the naming of streets (for example).
    10   * WMS Layer [wiki:/Help/Menu/WMSLayer (menu)]: backgrounds retrieved from a WMS server. You will usually need the appropriate plugins installed to get these. Examples are Landsat satellite imagery, Yahoo satellite imagery, NPE out-of-copyright Ordnance Survey maps and OpenStreetMap map tiles.
