+**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.
+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**.

+      * {{: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.

+===== Browsing =====
+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.
+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&  }}
+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>
