New: three levels of marking. A place can now be "passed through", "visited", or "stayed". Passed-through places get a light shade on the map but don't count toward your completion or medals — so layovers and drive-throughs are recorded without inflating your travel score. All your existing check-ins are kept, and count as "visited".
