POI Name Searching

Points of Interest can also be searched by using the name of a business, brand, institution, or other specifically named site. These names are also are returned with POI candidates, if available.

For example, you can search for a specific coffee shop, sports stadium, hospital, hotel, park, shop, restaurant, tourist attraction, or any other site. This may be important if you are looking for a specific brand name hotel/motel chain or cafe in your location.

Note: POI and category/subcategory features are available only if you have licensed and installed POI data.

See Typical Application Examples for examples of POI searching with the GeoComplete Module.
