14.00 OOI Menu: POIs (Points of Interest)
14.00 POIs (Points of Interest)
POIs are Points of Interest : points on a
map linked to geo-referenced data (latitude/
longitude), displaying text or images with
information about that point (e.g. hotel,
restaurant, viewpoint, historical site, etc).
POIs can be added to the unit in two ways
— either by map (section 14.01) or by grid
reference (section 14.02) . (POIs can also
be added by postcode for some units in the
UK, section 14.03 ). Individual icons can be
allocated to each POI. These allow for better
management of POIs and faster recognition.
Note: Use SatSYNC to add graphics or
more detailed information to a POI. (See the
SatSYNC 1.5 User Guide).
