High altitude routes are above FL200 through the upper limit of the airspace (Flight Level 200 = 20,000 ft / 6069 meter). Whenever you see a tiny plane in the sky with a long condensation trail, it is following one of the high altitude (jet) routes from one junction to another - you may even see a plane change direction above this junction. This waypoint is a junction for the following high altitude air routes that are used by aviation. (Format: name of route, heading from junction in degrees. Without degrees indication, route is towards junction. Source: Jeppesen, Royal Air Force and Air France High Altitude Enroute Charts.)

MAC is a VOR combined with DME transmitter used in aviation navigation.
VOR, short for VHF Omni-directional Radio Range, is a type of radio navigation system for aircraft. VORs broadcast a VHF radio composite signal including the station's morse code identifier and data that allows the airborne receiving equipment to derive a magnetic bearing from the station to the aircraft.
Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) is a transponder-based radio navigation technology that measures distance by timing the propagation delay of VHF or UHF radio signals.
