 Points in Locus Map, often referred to as **Points of interest** or abbreviated **POIs** are georeferenced information packages displayed above the map. In Locus Map, there are **two main categories** of POIs:
+  * **LoPoints**
   * **User points**
-  * **LoPoints**
-===== User points =====
-This category of points is handled as independent on map and is **added to the app by Locus user**. These points can be **downloaded** from database sources around the world (e.g. **geocaches from [[http://www.Geocaching.com|Geocaching.com]]**) or **[[manual:user_guide:points:import|imported]]**  from your device or any cloud storage. They can be **[[manual:user_guide:points:add|created]]**  on the spot or **photographed**. They are **managed**  in the [[:manual:user_guide:points:management|Points manager]], can be **stored** in folders, **grouped**, **sorted**, **filtered**  and **edited**  in many ways.

-**These points are referred to across the application as just "//points//".**
 ===== LoPoints =====
-The other category of points is an integral part of **[[manual:user_guide:maps_locusmaps:|LoMaps]]**. LoPoints are combined output of the OpenStreetMap database and Wikipedia and carry a lot of information about almost all point objects on the map, beginning with **hill peaks, church monuments, and other landmarks**  and ending with civil facilities like **post offices, ATMs, gas stations, etc.** LoPoints can not be created, deleted, renamed or otherwise manipulated but you can be [[manual:user_guide:functions:guidance|guided]] or [[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:|navigated]] to them, you can [[manual:user_guide:functions:share|share]] them, copy them, etc.
