About Points of Interest


Points of Interest abbreviated as POIs or just Points are georeferenced information packages that make an important part of dynamic layer above the map. They usually represent items like monuments, theaters, museums, pubs, hotels and also for example geocaches. In Locus Map you can meet two main categories:

  • non-editable POIs
  • editable POIs

Non-editable POIs

The first category POIs are an integral part of Locus Maps. They are a direct output of OpenStreetMap database and carry a lot of information about almost all point objects on the map, beginning with hill peaks, church monuments, civil facilities like post offices, ATMs, gas stations etc. These POIs can not be copied, deleted or otherwise manipulated but you can be guided or navigated to them
