I have add a lot of tracks for (OHV) trips and various waypoints of campsites, scenic areas, potable water, etc and it would be nice to search for waypoints along that track add display waypoints within a certain distance to that track.
A use case that I have is, I add a 30 mile track along forest service roads, I'd like to add all campsite waypoints that I have loaded (they are in separate folders) and display them on the map.
This would be similar to the feature to show the nearest points, this would be super handy to have it search along a selected track.
Thanks,
Matt
I like this idea 
Good day David,
no such feature currently exists in Locus. I've changed your question to "idea" so other people may vote if interested in this improvement.

Well, there is a function available today that gives you the nearest POIs for map center (or GPS position, I do not know the detail here). Would not help with long distance planning, but save your peace of mind when you need a drink NOW :-)

@David :
If the Pub where you are is closing down, there's a lot of chance that the nearest Pub will be closed too and that it is time to go back to home !
So, maybe it could more useful to have a Locus function called something like "I'm a little bit drunk ... Locus, please, remind me the way to my home little sweet home"
Cheers mate ! ;))))
More seriously,
@Menion : what do you think about to have a kind of nearest POI sorted by categories and sub-categories ? Something like that ... :
Fifi
Edit : and / or a list of categories in which you can check quickly where you want the search engine to do the search in and display the result

I'd also be very interested in this feature for bike tours. (My old TomTom Car Navi had a similar feature.

It would be really helpful feature. I often plan 200 km+ routes. In GSAK on pc I can find all geocaches along a route, but it woud be greate if I have a chance to find other pois along a route in locus. For example pubs, shops, drinking water, camps, atms.

A very important feature when I plan a trip. I go the track and get info when I get close to important points. Another feature is that I can load all cache 100 yards left and right of the route.

such an idea already exists
POI near my route | Locus Map - help desk

Hello,
I've just merged three similar ideas to this one. We are currently working on a completely new united system for address and online LoPoints search and this one is a really important part that should be considered as well. So I'll try to open this topic on the next meeting discussion about this ...

Hello all,
I think some clarification would be useful. My understanding so far is: 1) There will be limited selection of categories of interest. Let us assume pub and restaurant are the only interesting categories here. (How to determine what is worth reporting?) 2) Points that we consider important are reported in the real time, as the day go on. There is no such a thing like a list, attached to the planned route at the very beginning. At the position 1, 2, 3 of the attached picture, what should be reported?

It would also be nice if you can set a warning.
Example: I am on the road with the bike. I notice so that I get hungry and should eat something soon. I put a warning along the route (distance left and right. 1.5 km). Then I continue to drive, as soon as what is near I get a warning.
Or I want to look at the same on the map. I zoom out a bit and see my route 20 km ahead. In this case, it may be a lot of POI. I would like but so that restaurant, beer garden, cafe are highlighted something and are displayed larger. It could also have a red circle around it.
