Therefore, at this stage, I do not find an encouraging and attractive enough reason to use this function.

@kwbs, thx for testing Indeed pois are not updated often by nng,ive seen in 10 years few updates regarding pois Like as i said before, even in Hungary wich its their own contry pois are not updated, along with the roads In fact from quarter to quarter even from year to year updates are not signifiant i still use 2017 maps Its important to know where you headed and couple of cities/villages along route

Well @cristianyxtl, the owner, the foundr and the president of NNG is from Israel.

It was expected that at least in Israel and Hungary, the shoemaker would not iGO barefoot...

tap the icon (highlight); The POI name appears in the status bar at the top
Tap there and the description of the POI will appear
-----
or use the modified branding.zip, which shows many of the original brands / logos

Addendum:
I have just personally listed my three favorites in a KML and designed the corresponding ICON for them.
So I see e.g. LiDL in front of me and can head for it precisely as a stopover or final destination.

@Dosich

I also have no "POI labels". If I want to see the "Name" and details of a particular POI, I click on its icon and everything will appear at the top of the screen.

Thanks ! But it doesn�t work on igo 9.18.27.687519 ;(

It seems that with Pongo skin, there is no solution to enable to display on the map, the name of a favorite icon.

If it's possible, perhaps it worth to creat a "show_fav_labal" UX for that.

IMO that is nonsense with a POI label above / below an icon, because with several PINs on the map the overview would quickly be lost.
It would be more important if there would be a brand-specific selection when activating POIs. After all these years it is sad that a modified branding is necessary here

**cristianyxtl** · 12th December 2021, 11:54 AM

@rondoan, i agree with your point 100% Can see the pois on map by branding, and if want info about just click on it
Our friend here may want to see on map along with pois like parking and the name of that parking displayed on map,I see in his screen he its interested on that particular category "parking" and maybe more category ,but name of the parking have been displayed if click on them So its useless to have all the names of pois displayed, unless he have a big screen and want to fill that screen Some people want to see name of parking,others name of shop its a matter of taste, but its an interesting ideea what @kwbs sugested an ux to display name of pois
