POIs

A POI (Point Of Interest) is a defined location on the map that can be used to send a device to. The POIs can be configured as a charging station and/or a simple location.

Adding a POI to the map

The easiest way to add a POI to a (small) map is to make the device move to the specified location and adding the current position to the map (orientation and all).

Alternatively, a POI can be added to the map. However, it will always be added using a default orientation. To alter the orientation, the POI needs to be selected and edited.

Current location

Tap the option Current position in the menu POI to add the device’s current location to the map.

Enter a unique name and a type for the POI. This will enable ZBOS Control to use the position in the list of POIs and will allow the user to use voice commands to move the device to the saved location.

Next, tap the option Add POI to add the POI to the map.
