+The quick new point is designed for situations when you need to add more identical points repeatedly during a time period.
+===== 1. Define a new quick point =====
-===== Create a new point definition =====
 Before adding a quick point it is necessary to define it - point definition enables easy sorting points into logical groups:
-  * Menu > More > Quick new point > ..... button
+  * **Menu > All features > Points > Quick new point > {{:manual:user_guide:add.png?nolink&20|}}**
-  * Name of the definition - optional, can be left empty
+  * a new quick point definition dialog opens:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:points:quickpoint.jpg?nolink |}}
-  * Storage
+  * **Title of the definition** - optional, can be left empty
+  * **Storage** - either a //point folder// - you can use already an existing or create a new one - or the quick point can be saved as a part of //track recording//
+  * **Icon & Name** - points can have their designated icon (otherwise they will inherit the folder icon). The name can include special parameters (tap {{:manual:user_guide:ic_add_alt.png?nolink&30|}} button):
+    * //{c}// - inserts a counter of points in folder
+    * //{c1}// - inserts any increasing number
+    * //{t}// - inserts a time stamp
+    * //{text}// - enables inserting editable text before saving
+  * **Description** - optional description of the point
+<WRAP center round tip>
+If you want to **share** the definitions they are stored in ///Locus/data/config/quick_add_point.lb// file.
+</WRAP>
+===== 2. Add quick points on map =====
+  * Center your location or shift the map cursor to the location where you want to place the point.
+  * Call Quick new point function - //Menu > More functions > Quick new point// and tap on a previously created point definition\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:points:quickpoint3.gif?nolink |}}
+<WRAP round tip>It is very handy to place the Quick new point button into the **[[manual:user_guide:functions:panel|function panel >>]]** to call the feature immediately.</WRAP>
+===== Organizing definitions =====
+It is possible to edit, move or delete quick point definitions:
+  * Long-press the definition icon and select from popup menu of actions:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:points:quickpoint2.jpg?nolink |}}
