Points of Interest
Save, organise, and share important locations. Use private collections for personal use or shared collections to collaborate with your team instantly.
What Is a Point of Interest?
A Point of Interest (POI) is a saved GPS location with a name and optional description. POIs are pinned on the map and can be organised into folders. You can have up to 10,000 POIs (100 folders × 100 POIs each).
Each POI also has a configurable proximity radius (10–500 m, default 100 m) which forms the boundary for GeoFencing alerts.
Creating a POI
POIs are always created at the map centre (the red cross-hair).
- Navigate the map so the red cross-hair is over the location you want to save.
- Tap the 📌 Add POI button on the right side of the map.
- Choose whether this is a Private or Shared POI.
- Select a folder (or create a new one) and enter a name.
- Optionally adjust the proximity radius (10–500 m).
- Tap Save.
Private vs Shared POIs
The Points tab has two sections — Private and Shared. POIs are never created automatically — you must explicitly save each one.
| Private POI | Shared POI | |
|---|---|---|
| Visible to | Only you (across all your devices) | All members of the selected team |
| Sync | Synchronised across all your devices | Synchronised across all team members' devices |
| Collaboration | Personal use | Any team member can add, edit, or delete |
Folder Organisation
POIs are grouped into folders for easy organisation. A default Main folder always exists. You can create as many custom folders as you need (up to 100).
Creating a Folder
- In the Points tab, tap Create new folder.
- Enter a folder name (cannot be empty or named "Main").
- Tap OK — the new folder appears in the list.
Deleting a Folder
- Tap the delete button on the folder header.
- Confirm the deletion — all POIs inside the folder will also be deleted.
Folders and their contents are sorted alphabetically. The Main folder always appears first.
Moving POIs Between Folders
You can reorganise POIs by dragging them between folders.
- Long-press a POI item until a drag shadow appears.
- Drag the item over the target folder header — it highlights in light blue.
- Release to move the POI. A confirmation message appears.
POI Actions
Each POI supports four actions:
- 🗺️ View on Map — centres the map on this POI's location
- ✏️ Edit — change name, description, or proximity radius
- 🗑️ Delete — remove with confirmation
- 📍 Drag on Map — long-press the POI flag on the map for 1 second, then drag it to a new position. The location is saved automatically.
Backup & Restore
You can back up all your private POIs to a JSON file and restore them later — useful when switching devices or keeping offline copies.
Export (Backup)
- In the Points tab, tap Backup Points.
- Choose a save location using the file picker.
- A timestamped file (
xopoz_points_backup_[timestamp].json) is created with your complete folder structure.
Import (Restore)
Import a previously exported JSON file to merge it with your existing POIs. If duplicates exist, the newest version (by timestamp) is kept automatically.
