LoPoints, the database of OpenStreetMap points of interest is an integral part of LoMaps. In Locus Map, it can be displayed not only on maps but also as an autonomous database which you can browse and search.
LoMaps POIs database contains points in 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 in topbar (showing also number of points in the selected category):
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).
It is not possible to export LoPoints. Only a highlighted display is allowed.
Full-text search of names and keywords. E.g. keyword “pub” returns all points with “pub” in their name, description or amenity.
All dynamic points of interest can be deactivated - hidden on the map. Tap in the topbar and uncheck Display on map.
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.
