+==== 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
