Waymarking is a means by which people can catalog, mark, locate and log unique and interesting locations around the world, usually with a GPS receiver. Waymarking differs from geocaching in that there is no physical container to locate at the given coordinates. Waymarking identifies points of interest for GPS users. There are many interesting categories of waymarks; some examples of categories are Rails to Trails, Natural Arches, Natural Caves, Mountain summits, Capitol Buildings, and many more.

Waymarking is also used as a term to describe creating a walking or cycling route which is traveled by following a specific symbol ('waymark', sometimes 'way-mark' or 'way mark') along the route. These waymarks sometimes follow the route in one direction, or in other cases allow a route to be followed in both directions.
