 It works full-text so e.g. keyword "rests" returns all points with "rest" in their name, description or amenity. The search results can be highlighted on the map in the same way as described above.\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:points:lopoints09.gif?nolink |}}
 To **deactivate the highlight**, tap again the icon in the topbar:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:points:lopoints10.jpg?nolink |}}
+===== User photos =====
+Photos are the greatest means of **inspiration** for other hikers, cyclists and other travelers **to discover** interesting places on the map. The most known objects are often accompanied by **Wikipedia** photos but the others can be equipped with snaps from **Locus users**. You can add your own pics but you can also browse and rate photos of others.

+==== Adding ====

+If you decide to **inspire through your photos**, you can do so this way:
+  * tap LoPoint on the map and a panel with details will pop up
+  * tap the **camera button**:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:points:lopoints11.jpg?nolink |}}
+  * select the option to either **take the photo** now or **choose a photo** from the gallery that is already taken:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:points:lopoints12.jpg?nolink |}}
+  * after confirming the photo or gallery selection you can **add more** snaps if you have them
+  * close the dialog, the photos will start **uploading in the background** and you can continue to use the app normally
+This can also be done **offline**. The photos are kept in temporary memory and uploaded when you get online.
+**All photos are checked** by the Locus team before attaching them to LoPoints. It takes up to two workdays.
