First playthrough... You're assuming I'm gonna play this game more than I'm likely to lol.

As a general question, I can't seem to get the custom waypoints to work. When I hold X (playing on XBox One) it just brings up a custom marker instead.

I believe you tap X for a custom marker and hold X for a custom waypoint. Not sure why it's not working for you.

If I hold X it lets me use different symbols. I figured that a waypoint would be be something that's tracked as an objective on my minimap. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what that means.
