What is similar to the "locator" in Maya that is in Max?

what does the locator do?:)

Try Point under Helpers in the command panel.

Also, I assume you are talking about using connect with edit poly or mesh? When you do this select the edges you wish to connect and it will connect them down the middle.

Connect always divides the edges equally, so if your edges are of varying length then the cut will be irregular. Use the slice plane, or quick slice to make a perfectly straight cut.

And yes, Point helper is what you're after. Dummy would work too, but point is newer and has lots of useful visibility options, like always overlaying the screen, box and/or cross etc.
