What does the small circle symbol mean on the compass/HUD?
Sometimes the compass and HUD will show a small circle as a marker. There are two in this image, to the left and right of the crosshair and on the compass. They look like a circle with a smaller circle inside it, like a target:
They can be difficult to find in the world and don't always correspond to waypoints or other markers - I found one in the centre of a depot, but have had trouble finding others.

There are two types of white dots that can show up on your HUD.
If the white dots are only visible while holding your scanner for 3+ seconds, then they are locations where fauna will spawn, but are too far to tell if they've already been discovered or not.
If the white dots are always visible and do not pulsate, then they are points of interest that you've scanned - something that can be interacted with in some way, such as an Exo-Suit upgrade.
