Why do markers disappear?

[Betelgeuse]

When I discover new outposts or set a custom marker when I get close to them (outposts) they disappear (only few remain) or when i go to another planet sometimes my marker disappears or gets replaced by a different highlighted point of interest.
I really think the marker system SHOULD be improved, because now it is bugged and gives very little options.

Ha , I love it when you scan in your ship and get a location and an invite to tag it with E on the pc, if your too low all you do is landand lose the marker, lol

The custom marker system has a range limit depending on type of marker. It's not meant for long range tagging. There are situations where certain buildings are picked up on the scanner outside of tagging range, so if you try to tag it the marker will instantly disappear when you exit the scanner, if you move toward it a bit and try again then the tag will stay up as long as you don't go too far away from it.

If you want to mark something so you can leave and come back to it later, use beacons.

Teh ship scanner can be pretty meh scanning on the surfaces do to limited range.
Then really need to let you set up your own or just have a list of waypoints and personal saved points that you can look at in a menu for the current planet then have whatever one you select pop up until you visit it like when you told about a location.

Very sad to report same happening here. Now I know about beacons. I cannot repair this guy’s ship after returning to my base for supplies. (
