-**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.
+**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 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 **browsing** and **search** can be performed.
+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**.
