Note: When your GPS position is available, and Lock-to-Position (4.3.4) is active, the 
cursor is the current GPS position, the green arrow. When you select another point 
by tapping the map, or using the Find menu (5.3
), the new Cursor is shown on the 
display with the red dot and the radiating red circles. 
4.2.8  Visible POIs (Points of Interest) 
Mio Map comes with thousands of built-in POIs, and you can create your own POI 
database as well. Having all of them displayed on the map would make the map too 
crowded. To avoid this, Mio Map lets you select which POIs to show and which ones 
to hide (4.6.2.4) using their categories and subcategories. 
POIs are represented by icons on the map. For a built-in POI it is the icon of the 
subcategory of the actual POI. For points you create, it is the icon you had chosen 
when you created the POI (it can be changed later). 
These icons are large enough to recognise the symbol, and semi-transparent so as 
not to cover the streets and junctions behind them. 
 
When the map is zoomed out, the icons are not shown. As you zoom in, small dots 
appear at the locations of visible POIs. Zooming in further makes the full icons 
appear. 
 
 
 
If two points are too close to each other so that icons overlap, a multi-POI icon 
 is 
shown instead of individual ones. Zoom in more to see them separately. (Should the 
two overlapping POIs have the same icon, this icon will be displayed instead of the 
multi-POI icon.) 
Note: When navigating, POI icons can be disabled together with street names 
(6.5.4.2). If you still n
eed this information during your journey, just drag the map to 
disable Lock-to-Position (4.3.4). This
 will restore street names and POI icons 
immediately. Now tap Lock to reactivate Lock-to-Position.
