i do not see any poi. what shall I do.

Hello,

may you please describe it a little more? Try to check this description http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php/manu... , mainly item "3"

well, I read the description. however, when I go into data and then click points, there appear only two points, which I created myself.

no restaurants etc.

This is true for the onlinemaps OSM CLASSIC and also for mapquest

offline I have downloaded mapquest maps for the region of Kassel zoom 15 and the vector map for Hessen

in no case i get a list of categories in the screen data/points or Pois shown on the map.

maybe I missunderstood the concept but I thought the Pois are part of the map database.

ah here is problem.

No no, sorry but they aren`t. Points you see on screenshots are my personal categories I use for testing. Vector maps and even downloaded maps do not contain any points. So it`s only up to you to obtain required data.

You may check this forum. There is already created few categories with points that should be interesting for you http://forum.locusmap.eu/viewforum.ph...

Anyway main source for points depend on you. You just need data in GPX or KML data files and use Locus import feature to add them into Locus

Nop

map=map

POI=POI

you found a free POI-database in the www with google

or eg here:

thanks for your replies. I understand now, how poi are handled I loaded some but I aim fare from satisfied. I hoped eg to see descriptions but found only the coordinates. maybe I aim still on the wrong path but I will further experiment with it.

I think for the time being I got enough reply from you.

I assume some time in the future this will be a great app.

have further success

20Sec to late, damn ;)
