Points of interest (POI) are places that are of particular interest to the user. Interesting places are marked on the map with special symbols.
There are 23 categories of points of interest in the A-Navi system, such as hotels, gas stations, restaurants, attractions, etc.
Points of interest with the same category use the same symbol. If you save your point, favorite place to visit or address, you can choose the symbol.
