# Managing Points of Interest

A point of interest (PoI) is a static point on a map detailing an item of importance to a user (such as a basecamp, meeting point, hospital, etc.).

A point of interest can be visible to a single user (the creator) or to the entire tenant.  It can optionally be visible to sub-tenants.

{% hint style="info" %}
Points of Interest (PoIs) are distinct from Points in GAP for Travel.
