====== How to place a point of interest on the map? ======

----

<WRAP round info>
**BTW, what is a point of interest, a.k.a. POI?**

POIs are places on the map that carry some more information you are interested in. **Just tap them**. Usually they describe things like **monuments, theaters, museums, pubs, hotels** etc.

**Locus Map** allows you to place **your own POI** to mark anything you like on your trip, to show your friends your address on holidays or to let yourself navigate to it. It'simple:
  * **1.** touch the screen on the place you'd like to save and hold a sec. A small frame with address appears. **2.** tap it once more to open the POI detail window.

  * edit name of your point or just leave what is in the place of name and tap **Save**.

POIs are listed in the {{:manual:user_guide:ic_points_alt.png?nolink&30|}} Points manager.
