## Creating a Point of Interest (POI)

We'll be creating a POI for a new Luma store so we can use it's geolocation to trigger our journey if a customer enters it.

Click on **Create POI**. A menu will open on the right side.

1. Give your store a name like `[your name] My Luma Store`*.*
2. Make sure the **Library** is set to `Luma`.
3. Leave the radius at 100. This setting defines how large the POI is (in meters).
4. Set the **Icon** to whatever you prefer.
5. Set the **Color** to `lightgreen`.
6. Set the **Category** to `Store`.
7. Unfold **Location**, scroll down and click **Drop Pin on Map**. This will allow you to click anywhere on the map to place your POI. Choose a location and drop your pin. You'll know you did it right if the **latitude** and **longitude** become populated.
8. Click **Save** to create your POI.
