Hi Menion,
I think the POIs are still a bit clunky to use. What I typicall do is create/import a track for hiking. Now I don't want to miss interesting POIs if there are some. So I can manually add POIs 100 by 100 from the local poidb, until the exceed a specific radius which includes the whole track.
It's not convenient and loads too many POIs.
Please think about a mechanism which allows to auto/semi-auto load all/userdefined POIs alongside a track. This can be a track command. With some user def. radius around the track.
Or a checkbox in the track options "Auto load POIs [n] meters around track". Then I'd turn POI notification on and booom, fun.
See what I mean?
Best regards
Michael
I like this idea 
I would like to add to the idea two options for route planning (not Navigation, but it goes into the same direction):
a) Search/Show POI along currently routed route (+- x mi/km) so you can plan your route accordingly (for example with gas stations or rest areas).
b) Search for POI in a segment of n to m mi/km from route start (again diverting up to x mi/km from the route). The application here would be that I can say: I need to refill gas in approx 150-200 km - how can I quickly include this into my route planning? Or: I want a break after the first 100 km, where would be a restaurant along the currently planned route?

Oh, seems like I asked for something similar today... http://help.locusmap.eu/topic/feed-map-with-pois-from-your-poidbs-alongside-a-track
For me it is the most wanted functionality. Being able to populate the map with POIs close to a track.

for points and LoMaps POIs. All in one folder for POI alert.

yes, the idea is very good. Great for holidays.

It is also good for geocaching on a hike:
Search Geocache 200 meters, left and right of the track. Put them in a folder. Set POI alarm for this folder.
or
For a long journey by car:
Search in LoMaps POI for all gas stations and restaurants. 5 km to the left and right of the track.
search only in specific LoMap POI categorie (transport / gas station __ and __ food drink / restaurant, Fast.Food)
Put them in a folder. Set POI alarm for this folder.

@ freischneider - good example. This indicates that the width either side of forward track needs to be configurable. One size will not fit all applications. Eg. for me cycling, maybe +/-1km, for you car 5km, geocache 200m.

ja, sollte die Breite verstellbar sind
Sie auch in der Lage sein sollten , zu entscheiden , welche Punkte Ordner gesucht werden ,
es wäre schön , wenn Sie auch die LoMap POI suchen könnten. Und es kann , welche Kategorie wählen
The result (found points and LoMap POI) then into a temporary folder. and then set the POI alert for this

+1 for Idee !!

Pleace, It's good if it works according to the location coordinates - even without tracks and routing. ;)
