I don't see this icon in the map key. Anyone know what it stands for? Also, the label of 'Lance Armstrong' is odd.

  Hi @bjshear,
  
  That appears to be a joke waypoint that someone entered into OpenStreetMap data.
  
  Gaia Topo, as well as several other sources in the app, are based on OpenStreetMap data, an Open-source and public mapping project.
  
  You can actually contribute to OSM in order to add trails and features to the map. Read more about this and find instructions here: Contribute to OpenStreetMap 
  
  If you decide to contribute any updates to OpenStreetMap, you'll see the changes in Gaia GPS in two to three weeks.
  
  It looks like this particular item was already removed from OSM but it will take the two to three weeks to update on Gaia Topo: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3187818483
