# Points of Interest

Points of interest (POIs) are named locations that appear on the tracking map. Use them to mark depots, customer sites, driver addresses, suppliers, and workshops so that map activity is easier to read at a glance.

> **Permissions:** The Points of Interest page requires the `FleetAssistant.PointsOfInterest` policy. Administrators and Fleet Managers typically have this permission.

## What you can do

* Maintain a directory of named locations with addresses and coordinates.
* Categorise each POI by type (Depot, Cost Centre, Driver Address, Customer Location, Supplier, Workshop).
* Look up addresses by post code or street using the built-in geocoder.
* Choose a colour for each POI marker so they stand out on the map.
* Bulk-import POIs from a CSV or Excel file.
* Toggle POI markers on the [Tracking](/documentation/fleet-operations/tracking.md) map using the **POIs** display toggle.

## Opening the POIs page

To open the POIs page, click **Tracking** in the sidebar and select **Points of Interest**, or navigate directly to `/tracking/poi`.

The page is split into two panes:

* **POI list** (left) - shows each POI with an icon, name, address, and type label.
* **Map** (right) - displays markers for every POI in the list.

The toolbar above the list provides:

* A **Search** box that filters by name or address.
* A **Type** dropdown to filter to a single category.
* An **Import** button for bulk uploads.
* An **Add POI** button to create a new POI by hand.

## POI types

Each POI is classified as one of:

| Type              | Typical use                                          |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Depot             | A physical location where vehicles are based.        |
| Cost Centre       | An organisational location used for cost allocation. |
| Driver Address    | A driver's home address (for take-home vehicles).    |
| Customer Location | A frequently-visited customer site.                  |
| Supplier          | A parts or service supplier.                         |
| Workshop          | An external or in-house maintenance location.        |

The icon and default colour vary by type. You can override the colour per POI when you create or edit it.

## How to add a POI

To add a single POI:

1. Click **Tracking** in the sidebar and select **Points of Interest**.
2. Click **Add POI**.
3. Fill in the **Add Point of Interest** dialog:
   * **Name** - a short identifier such as "Hayes Depot" or "ACME - Birmingham".
   * **Type** - select from the dropdown.
   * **Address** - type the street address. Click **Lookup** to geocode the address; the latitude and longitude are filled in for you.
   * **City**, **Post Code**, **Country** - fill in any parts the lookup did not return.
   * **Latitude** and **Longitude** - set automatically by the lookup. They cannot be edited directly.
   * **Color** - pick a marker colour.
   * **Description** - optional notes.
4. Click **Create**.

The new POI appears in the list and as a marker on the map.

> **Tip:** If the address lookup returns the wrong coordinates, refine the address (for example by adding a post code) and click **Lookup** again.

## How to import POIs in bulk

To import many POIs at once:

1. Click **Tracking > Points of Interest**.
2. Click **Import**.
3. Click **Download sample file** to see the expected format. The first column is **Name** and the remaining columns are address parts (street, city, post code, etc.).
4. Choose your CSV or Excel file with the file picker.
5. FleetFusion validates each row and geocodes the address. The summary shows how many rows are valid and how many are invalid.
6. Review the row-by-row results and confirm the import.

## Editing and deleting

To edit a POI, click the pencil icon on its row in the list. The same dialog reopens with the existing values.

To delete a POI, click the trash icon and confirm. Deleting a POI removes its marker from the tracking map but does not remove any related cost-centre or depot records.

## Showing POIs on the tracking map

POI markers appear on the [Tracking](/documentation/fleet-operations/tracking.md) page when the **POIs** display toggle is enabled in the toolbar. The marker uses the colour and icon you set for the POI type.

> **Note:** POIs are a visual aid only. They do not raise events when vehicles approach them - use a [Geofence](/documentation/fleet-operations/tracking/geofences.md) for that.
