Search POI of map

[panda]

Hello Orux,

I really like your piece of software, but what I'm missing is a search function for POI, eg. accommodation, Restaurant, ...  on the map.

I just saw this in OSMAND and it would be nice to have something similar in ORUX.

I totally agree with the friends. The ability to search for POIs is the only feature that I miss very much in ORUXMAPS. By the way! Bravo for this great work!

Hello all,

three years later, running version 7.0.17 on Android 5 and 6, I am very happy with the POI search implemented via [Waypoint Symbol] > Search in map (offline).

I use a map and poi file from http://www.openandromaps.org/downloads">http://www.openandromaps.org/downloads



At first I was not able to use POI search at all, because on my Android system the option boxes were plain white, so I did not realize I had to tick them in order to activate the search. I then found this video which helped me a lot:

However I have one issue left:

Search returns several points I can display as red markers on my map.

How can I clear the search result again from my map?



So far they just sit there, even after a restart of Oruxmaps or a change of maps.

A new search for different stuff just adds more markers without clearing the old ones.



The only way I found to clear the display is by choosing [Map Symbol] > Overlay options > Remove KML Overlay



Am I missing something here?



Thanks,

Andy
