# Adding POIs

Points of Interest (POIs) are the pins on your map. Each one marks a location and can carry a title, description, category, hours, and a link.

## Opening the POI editor

From your map's **Settings** page or hovering over the map in the **Dashboard**, click **Edit Points of Interest**. This opens the POI editor with your map and a sidebar.

## Adding a new POI

1. Click the **+ Add POI** button in the sidebar (or tap anywhere on the map in add mode)
2. Tap the location on the map where the POI should appear
3. Fill in the details in the sidebar form:
   * **Title** — required; shown on the pin and popup
   * **Description** — optional free text shown in the popup
   * **Category** — optional; used to group and filter POIs on the viewer
   * **Hours** (Optional)
   * **Dates** (Optional)
   * **Link and Link Title** (Optional)
4. Click **Save**

## Editing a POI

You can edit or update any POI by clicking on it on the sidebar or clicking the point of interst on the map.

## Deleting a POI

Select the POI by clicking its pin, then click **Delete** in the bottom of the sidebar.

## Optional fields

Each POI can also have:

* [Hours & Dates](/low-tech-maps/points-of-interest-pois/hours-and-dates.md) — show open/closed status in real time
* [URL Button](/low-tech-maps/points-of-interest-pois/url-buttons.md) — a tappable link in the popup
