-**Locus Maps** 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.
-Database of OpenStreetMap points of interest is an **integral part of Locus Maps**. In Locus Map it can be displayed not only on maps (actually on any map of an area covered by downloaded Locus Maps) but also as an autonomous database on which several actions can be performed:
+<WRAP center round important> This function is not fully developed yet - including its name. It can be referred to as LoMaps POI elsewhere in this Manual. </WRAP>
-  * **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).
-  * **POI search** - fulltext search of names and keywords. E.g. keyword "pub" returns all points with "pub" in their name, description or amenity.
+**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.
