But if you come across a place or venue that particularly excites you, or you think it would be of interest to someone else, it would be rightly termed POI (Point of Interest).

POIs could be street addresses, city/country names or more specific items of note. Ovi Maps boasts 6000 3D landmarks across 200 cities. Items that feature in most places such us shops, restaurants, galleries, hospitals, and airports are symbolized by specific icon on a map. To find a POI (Point of Interest) that’s near you:
