A Portable Waypoint is a Gadget that you can drop anywhere in the Genshin Impact map, essentially functioning as a regular Teleport Waypoint. It allows you to quickly travel to important places that are a little hard to get to otherwise, such as boss locations and your favorite scenic spots.

How to use a Portable Waypoint in Genshin Impact
To place a Portable Waypoint in your World, head to the exact spot you want to place it. Then open the Gadget Inventory, select the Portable Waypoint, and click Use to place it where you're standing. A Portable Waypoint can only live in an area for a maximum of seven days and will appear as a blue marker on the World Map. Once it expires, you can place a new Portable Waypoint anywhere you want.
The Portable Waypoint is a consumable Gadget. Using it will consume x1 Portable Waypoint, but you can craft multiple to have around just in case. Portable Waypoints can be placed over water (by using an ice bridge) but not in another player's World.
