Search Icon (v 1.1)
Tap on the search icon to filter the data shown. "*" stands for "anything". It needs to be appended to your search string unless what you entered is complete with no trailing characters. For example "RV-" does not find "RV-10" and "RV-14", but "RV-*" will. The search icon will turn yellow if a filter is active.
If you select a pin on the bottom list, a magenta line is shown from your location to that pin. If you tap it again, the line gets removed.

You can delete pins you created. On the bottom list, swipe left to see the delete icon. If it's not your pin, nothing will happen when you try to delete it.
