Personal points of interest layer.

While travelling today on one of my routes, I was thinking of a nearby location I had registered in the app earlier, and how cool it would be to stop along the side of the road, and turn on a layer and see them on the map. The more I would zoom out, the more personal locations would show up.

Just a thought.
Loving the app, and looking forward to version Senic 3 next season!

Thanks Guido.

There is already a way to add custom POIs (see tutorial video), but that’s indeed more aimed at importing poi’s from files on the internet. The part where you can easily mark these spots is missing. I’ll add that to the list for Scenic 3. Tx.

If you're enjoying Scenic and are happy with the support, please leave a nice rating in the App Store. It would mean a lot to me ❤️

This would be while in route, turning on a layer to show my nearby custom POIs all ready registered in Scenic on my iPhone. That way if I noticed one coming near, but was not on my route, and I had the time to make a side trip, I’d be inclined to do it. If it never came up, i would have missed it.

Just a thought. 🙂

 

Custom POIs show on the map while navigating... and you will even get an alert if you come within the alert distance of that POI which you can set. Note that Custom POIs are not Locations. Custom POIs were initially designed with speed cameras in mind (find a GPX with all speed cams in your country, and import them as Custom POI Group), but can also be used for other kinds of things. So, I think the display and message part is covered. It's just adding new points to a POI group is currently not foreseen.

In the tutorial video there is a timestamp that takes you immediately to the section on how you can add/import custom pois.

And here (Stop/POI Closeby Message) is a screenshot on how that looks during navigation: https://scenic.app/knowledge-base/navi-nerd-settings-explanation/
