Point of Interest (POI)
A point of interest is a location which somebody wants to consider usefully or interesting. All GPS devices have a lot of POI’s – such as: gas stations, connection with railways, museums and galleries, stores and supermarkets, public transportation, sight, ATM, but more of that can be downloaded from the internet.
POI data base includes the coordonates and the personalization for each point of interest, through editation those can be changed contact dates, phone numbers and logo, can be easy recognized on the map such as point of interest. Think of a collection of destinations like personalized POI in the director which find for you business and services, when you want to go in a holiday or in a business trip in a unknown city.
The administration of points of interest can be done in a dynamic way, POI location are marked on the map with special images. These images are big enough, so that you can recognize easily that symbol, but they are semitransparent too: they don’t cover the streets and the crossroads from heir back.
In the navigation program, the points of interest are grouped in categories and subcategories. The images of a point of interest delivered with map shows the category symbol. If you save your own POI, you can choose an image no matter of POI category.
Why personal points of interest?
The navigation program includes a data base with the most imported points of interest, but that can not be enough for you. By example, the company that you work for has a contact with a special gas station or the credit card has smaller charge in special ATM, if you want not to forget a location or an objective, you are allow to add your personal points of interest which you can personalize them or you can dowload from the internet.
