Why is a map location marked with white circle?
When browsing the world map I noticed this:
What does the white circle around the location means? Hovering it shows the ordinary details.
Background: I visited the location a while back (both game time and real time) and after not finding the hidden treasure, gave up and forgot about it. (Until seeing it now again. :))

That means the objective is somewhere within the circle. Just ride your boat out there and you'll see some chests or barrels that you gotta grab.

I think the white circle means that, at the particular location with the white circle icon, you will loot an item that ties in to something else, more loot someplace, a quest, etc... the icons without the white circle are just places you go, pick up the loot and that's it.
