From the developer:
MaxPoint, it creates a model of your telescope mount, including any polar axis misalignment, offsets, and mechanical flexure.
Once this is done, MaxPoint automatically corrects your telescope position to ensure it is always on-target. With MaxPoint, even very low-cost GOTO mounts can routinely achieve a pointing accuracy of 1-2 arc-minutes over the whole sky!
The telescope model is easily generated using one of two methods.
