Found by the owner on dev (4.6.2-rc1).

A danger marker can't be chosen. The owner tried to end the trail at "Goblin Ambush", a Danger marker, and it wasn't in the list. Map.jsx passes the form only place, portal, holding and quest markers (placesHere), so dangers and notes are missing. The server takes a stop at any marker.
The dropdown won't scale. Over a long campaign a map can hold dozens or hundreds of markers. The owner asked for a search box over the markers, or the free placement that already exists ("A spot on the map…").

Approach: every marker on the map is offered. The dropdown becomes a search field over marker names, sorted alphabetically, showing the first 8 matches as plain text you click, each with its kind. A chosen marker shows as a chip with ×. With no marker chosen, the button reads "Choose the spot" and goes on to free placement, as before.
