Tap-and-hold on the point you want to mark and a menu will appear that allows you to create your own POIs and more.

No problem observing a track in MM but when I am stationary, the fix wanders erratically until I resume forward movement. My solution is to disable GPS from within MM while static in order to stop my screen becoming one large Etch-a-Sketch doodle.
I have the same problem on the N810, it is caused by inaccurate positioning, which could be due to bad reception. The "Min. Speed" setting in the "Auto Center" tab might help, but I am not sure yet.

If I know generally where I will be travelling, it is not difficult to download map data along the route prior to departure, given a WiFi connection. I usually prefer to use google maps. Here's the thing...I repeatedly am unable to download maps beyond a certain zoom level, usually no closer than level 2 or 3.
I am not even sure that zoom levels above 4 are available, but Google Maps has a limit on how much you can download in a burst. For this reason and because I think they look better, I use the Microsoft Virtual Earth Street maps (and Google for the satellite view).
