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 geocaches. In Locus Map you can meet two main categories:

• Locus Maps POIs
• Independent 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 and other landmarks and ending with civil facilities like post offices, ATMs, gas stations etc. These POIs can not be created, deleted, renamed or otherwise manipulated but you can be guided or navigated to them, you can share them, copy them etc.

All other POIs that are handled in Locus Map are map-independent. They can be downloaded from many database sources around the world and then imported to Locus Map. They are managed in the Points tab of the Data manager, can be stored in folders, grouped, sorted, filtered and edited in many ways.
