Use Case: Multiple Detail Layouts
There are many reasons to create a Bookmark series. You may need to create multiple layouts at various extents.
For example, the first bookmark may show a continent, the next bookmark a country in that continent, the next bookmark a city in that country, and the last bookmark a particular neighborhood in that city.
