Marker Switches are positioned in front of several structures on Myst Island. The eight marker switches are on the dock, near the giant gears, in front of the planetarium, in front of the spaceship, near the pool with the model boat, in front of the passage to the power generators, in front of the cabin, and on the clocktower island.

[edit] Purpose

When activated, each switch highlights that structure's location on the map inside the Myst Library. Four of the markers are located by the places of protection, and when activated they allow the rotating tower to point exactly at that particular place.

[edit] Vault

Spoiler warning: the following contains details about puzzles, plot, or similar. If you're not familiar with them already, continuing to read may affect your experience.

By following the instructions on the ripped note, a vault can be opened. The vault is accessed by setting all the switches on, then turning the one on the dock off. The front of the dock switch swings open, revealing a hollow space that small things can be hidden in. Sirrus and Achenar put the page they had taken from Atrus's Myst book into the vault where it was found by the Stranger.
