# Point of Interests

Adobe Places Service is a geo-location service that enables mobile apps with location awareness to understand the location context to create a more personalized and engaging experience.

## POI - overview

A point of interest (POI) is a location or a point on a map that is of importance to your organization or company. It can include locations like airport, cafes, restaurants, retail locations, stadiums and so on. Companies can define points of interest to help personalize a user’s mobile experience when they have entered a geo-fenced region for a particular point of interest

To get an overview of all the POI:

1. First, you have to open Experience Platform. Click on the **navigation-icon** (9 dots) in the top right and select **Experience Platform** in the dropdown list.
2. In the menu on the left side, click on **Data management** > **Places**. You will be taken to the POI Management interface. 
3. Filter the list by clicking on :inlineImage[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/1Jp0iolWv35Z_mkI7oUiT/nhtM6D8U4PgofZ-W1h9zT-20260421-080415.jpg" alt caption width="59" height="59"} and set the **LIBRARY** to `Luma`.

You can now view the list of all Airport across Europe. WKND recently decided to launch the geo‑location experience for an additional airport that is not yet included in the list. You are responsible for creating it.

## Creating a Point of Interest (POI)

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

- Give your store a name like `{{LASTNAME}} - Airport`.
- Make sure the **Library** is set to `Airport`.
- Leave the radius at 100. This setting defines how large the POI is (in meters).
- Set the **Icon** to whatever you prefer.
- Set the **Color** to `lightgreen`.
- Set the **Category** to `Airport`.
- 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.
- Fill the fields **City** and **Country** based on the location you've chosen.
- Unfold **Metadata**, click on **+** to add a value.
- From the **Name** dropdown, select `airportId`.
- Fill the value with `{{LASTNAME}}-airport`.
- Click **Save**.
