Save and reuse locations with POIs

How-to 1

Understand what a saved POI contains

A point of interest stores a location name, address, coordinates, and optional artwork in your personal library. It is useful when you regularly map the same tenants or local destinations. POIs require Pro.

The library record and the overlays placed on maps are separate. Deleting a record from the library does not remove copies already placed on maps. Likewise, review older maps separately after changing a library record instead of assuming all existing compositions were updated.

How-to 2

Create a location from My POIs

1. 1

   Open the library page

   Choose My POIs from the main navigation. Click Add New to open Add New Location. Use a name that distinguishes the branch, such as Juniper Coffee at Market Square, rather than only the chain name.

2. 2

   Enter and select the address

   Type the street address and use autocomplete when available. Review the resulting address and location. Avoid saving an ambiguous name without checking which location it represents.

3. 3

   Add optional artwork

   Upload a suitable logo if you want it ready for later placement. A useful name and verified location are still valuable when no suitable logo is available.

4. 4

   Save the record

   Click Save Location. Wait for the save to complete and check the record in the library. Use the library search field to confirm you can find it by the name you expect to use later.

How-to 3

Create or edit a POI while working on a map

1. 1

   Open POIs in the sidebar

   The editor panel shows your saved-location library. Use Filter saved locations to narrow the list or Add New POI to open the form without leaving the map.

2. 2

   Fill the form

   Enter the location name, address, and optional logo. Check the branch identity and location before saving. Use Save POI for a new record.

3. 3

   Edit a saved record

   Use the record's Edit control. Make the correction and click Update POI in the editor panel, or Update Location on the library page. Cancel closes the form when you do not want to apply the edit.

How-to 4

Place a saved location on another map

1. 1

   Open the destination map

   Confirm the subject property and then open POIs. Filter for the saved location. Read its name and address so similarly named branches are not confused.

2. 2

   Place the record

   Click the record or its place control. The overlay uses the saved coordinates and any saved artwork. If it lies outside the current view, inspect the map area before repeatedly clicking it.

3. 3

   Arrange and verify

   Move the displayed label into clear space and check its leader-line anchor. Review the business information for the current project. A record saved months ago may need updating even if the stored location still displays correctly.

4. 4

   Save the map

   Use Save and confirm completion. Reusing a record reduces repeated entry, but the map still needs its own save and final composition check.

How-to 5

Save businesses you already added to a map

1. 1

   Save one business

   Reveal a business overlay toolbar and choose Save to My POIs. This action belongs to a business record, not every standalone image. Check the POIs panel to verify the record exists rather than relying only on brief button feedback.

2. 2

   Save the map's business set

   Open POIs and use Save this map's businesses when it is shown. The action collects eligible business overlays; generic images, text annotations, and shapes are not equivalent location records.

3. 3

   Read the summary

   Review the counts for newly saved, already saved, and failed records where reported. Do not interpret an already-saved count as a new copy. If some records fail, inspect the library before retrying.

How-to 6

Remove a library entry and maintain the collection

1. 1

   Choose the specific record

   Search for the location and read its address. Open its Delete control. Confirm only after checking that it is the library entry you intend to remove.

2. 2

   Confirm or cancel

   Use Delete in the confirmation state to remove the entry, or Cancel to keep it. Removing the library entry does not clean up copies that already appear on saved maps.

3. 3

   Review records periodically

   Use branch-specific names and refresh outdated artwork or addresses. For a frequently used center, save each verified location once and use a group on individual maps when you need a combined tenant roster.
