Is there an api to bookmark certain areas of a map? Because I find my maps end up sprawling for a variety of reasons that  'cannot' be solved by splitting the map up into smaller maps. So it would be really great if I could book mark views. This would be something like  !markview This would trigger the api, causing it to spit out in the chat boxsomething like !markview 13567867/647665 which would then be copy pasted by the dm or player into a macro. And when that macro is used it forces the view of the user to the point of the map that was being viewed when that particular !markview was used. I don't know if I'm making sense, I hope I am. And it would be great, even greater I mean if it actually auto made the macros and pinned them to the macro bar. And automatically debarred the macros when that map was left and automatically put them back when it was returned to.

There is a sendPing() function that could be used to draw focus. Last I heard it only worked for the GM. The API can't tell where you are looking, but you could tell it to center on some object by selecting the object and issuing a command. It could create the macros, but can't adjust the bar for you. Also, it can't tell what page the GM is on.  All that said, you could probably get a partial solution working. 
Suppose I could place marker objects on the macro layer.
