Points of Interest (POIs)

A POI (Point of Interest) is a location that is important to your organization. It can be anything on the map, such as an intersection, a fire hydrant, a police station – essentially any point on the map that you want to save. POIs are useful for many reasons. They can be used as reference points. You can see them on the map when you display the POI layer from the info tab. You can add a location to an incident using a POI and create new POIs from the address of new incidents.
