-====== LoMaps Points of Interest ======
+====== LoPoints (BETA) ======
 ----
-**LoMaps** are based on the [[http://www.openstreetmap.org/|OpenStreetMap]] Data and are rendered directly in Locus Map application via [[http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapsforge|MapsForge]] toolbox. The maps cover the whole World and are available in map packets covering individual states which can be purchased and downloaded solely for offline use.
+<WRAP center round important> This function is not fully developed yet.</WRAP>
-Database of OpenStreetMap points of interest is an **integral part of LoMaps**. In Locus Map it can be displayed not only on maps (actually on any map of an area covered by downloaded LoMaps) but also as an autonomous database on which several actions can be performed:
+**LoPoints** are dynamic points of interest displayed on **[[manual:user_guide:maps_locusmaps|LoMaps]]**. Each point contains additional information - e.g. opening hours, WWW, phone number etc. LoPoints can be navigated to, guided to similarly as Locus user points.
-   * **database browsing**  - database consists of a structure of folders and subfolders with points of particular categories, e.g. //Accomodation, Financial&Post services, Culture&Tourism//  etc. Each category is sub-divided into subcategories and also contains a special parameter "around" that allows to browse points around current location of user. Selecting a folder highlights all its points on map, selecting a particular point displays its detail info screen and highlights the point on the map as well. All points in folders are always sorted by distance from the map screen center crosshair (or from the user's location if the device is GPS fixed and the map centered).
+The database is based on OpenStreetMap data and is an **integral part of [[manual:user_guide:maps_locusmaps|LoMaps]]**. It can be displayed on the maps but also **browsed** and **searched**.
-  * **POI search**  - fulltext search of names and keywords. E.g. keyword "pub" returns all points with "pub" in their name, description or amenity.

-===== LoMaps POI screen =====
+  * **topbar**
+      * {{:manual:user_guide:ic_hide_alt.png?nolink&30}} - when particular points are selected, the button changes and displays a number of them on the map. Tapping this removes highlighting of **selected**  points on the map.
+      * {{:manual:user_guide:ic_more_ver_alt.png?nolink&30}} - with this, **all**  LoMaps POIs on the map can be displayed or hidden
+  * **LoMaps file**  - select a file with the POI database. It is identical to the LoMaps file. It is possible to select one file only.
+  * **Points around**  - displays a list of all nearest points across all folders around your current position or position of the center cursor
+  * **Search**  - full-text search of POI. Entering the first few characters returns results that can be further refined.
+  * **list of POI categories**  - //Accommodation, Financial&Post services, Culture&Tourism, Public services, Hiking&Cycling, Nature, Emergency&Health, Places of Worship, Food&Drink, Shopping, Sport leisure, Car services, Transportation //

+===== Browsing =====
-  * **topbar**  - contains only a button aborting highlighted display of selected points on map. When a particular folder is selected, the button changes and displays number of points in the folder. Tapping it highlights the points from the folder on the map.
+LoPoints database consists of several **categories**, e.g. //Accommodation, Financial&Post services, Culture&Tourism//  etc. Each category is sub-divided into subcategories and also contains a special parameter "**around**" that allows browsing points around the current location of the user.
-  * **LoMaps file**  - select a file with POI database. It is identical with the LoMaps file. It is possible to select one file only.
-  * **Points around**  - displays a list of all nearest points across all folders around your current position or position of the center cursor
+Points in a selected category can be **highlighted on map** by tapping {{:manual:user_guide:ic_map_alt.png?nolink&30}} in topbar (showing also number of points in the selected category):\\ {{  :manual:user_guide:points:locusmappoi1.png?nolink&  }}
-  * **Search**  - fulltext search of POI. Typing first few characters returns results that can be further precised.
-  * **list of POI folders and subfolders**  - //Accomodation, Financial&Post services, Culture&Tourism, Public services, Hiking&Cycling, Nature, Emergency&Health, Places of Worship, Food&Drink, Shopping, Sport leisure, Car services, Transportation\\ \\ <WRAP center round alert >This feature is still in BETA version so its name or functionality may be subject to future alterations. </WRAP>
+When you tap a particular point its **detail info screen opens**. All points in categories are always **sorted by distance** from the map screen cursor (or from the user's location if the device is GPS fixed and the map centered).
+<wrap info>It is not possible to export LoPoints. Only a highlighted display is allowed. </wrap>
+===== Search =====
+Full-text search of names and keywords. E.g. keyword "pub" returns all points with "pub" in their name, description or amenity. {{  :manual:user_guide:points:locusmappoi2.png?nolink&  }}
+===== Deactivation =====
+LoPoints can be deactivated - **hidden on the map**. Tap {{:manual:user_guide:ic_more_ver_alt.png?nolink&30}}in the topbar and **uncheck Display on map**. {{  :manual:user_guide:points:locusmappoi3.png?nolink&  }}
+<WRAP center round important > LoPoints database (mapname.osm.db) can be used only when a corresponding LoMap map file (mapname.osm.map) is present in /mapsVector/ directory. If the map file is removed (e.g. due to saving space for use of other map) the POI file cannot be initialized. </WRAP>
