How to use the POI app?

An ideal solution for companies that want to know more about the available points-of-interest in certain areas like restaurants, bus stations, ATMs etc. With the Spotzi POI App you are able to find all kinds of POIs within a certain radius or in a certain area (district, city).

In order to enable the POI App, press the App and our system will ask you to name your POI layer if you haven't already added a POI layer.
Once you have chosen the radius and category/searchword. Click the SEARCH POIs button.
Currently we only offer the POIs of all North American countries. This contains: USA, Canada, the Cayman Islands, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands. Are you interested in POIs from other countries? Please contact us.
Now you have to click on the map to set a radius.
After you have selected a radius, click SEARCH POIs to start searching POIs within that radius.
When the POI finder is finished it will plot this data into your POI data layer. This data can be styled and added to any map in your Mapbuilder account. You can also create a new map from your new POI layer. This can be achieved by creating a map from existing layers.
You can also export this data to a CSV, XML, JSON or Shapefile, so you can use this POI data in other mapping solutions like QGIS or Google Maps. It is also possible to export this data to Excel or CSV. How you export this data can be found in our documentation about exporting data.
