How do I plot a simple location mark by lat/long?

I'm trying to plot a simple mark on the map by lat/long.
I can use Draw Freely and refer to lat/long at the bottom, but the program always draws symbols starting at a corner instead of at the center, so it's impossible to align a symbol over a given lat/long. I have tried different combinations of Shift+Drag and Alt+Drag to change origin behavior, as is standard in programs like Illustrator, but this has no effect.
The "Location Indicator" function would be ideal, but it's overly complicated (requires origin, point, x tick, y tick, z tick) and plots a large crosshair across the entire image instead of a small mark, plus it's always set to an 8000 m altitude.
It seems what I need is a simple "Plot a small crosshair at this Lat/Long".
What is the best way to get this functionality?
