Title: Notification on points within a track
Post by: Christian on March 05, 2026, 21:53:41
Since Locusmap can merge points with tracks during import and create points within a track I did not use points folder anymore. All my points are inside my tracks. I use these POIs intensively. Like this
<wpt lat="47.99285296723334" lon="10.774168074131014"><name>Singold Quelle km8</name><sym>Flag, blue</sym></wpt>
 <wpt lat="48.1725826072008" lon="10.741839198891203"><name>Edeka Schwabmuenchen km35</name><sym>Shopping Center</sym></wpt>
 <wpt lat="48.27088344326007" lon="10.835394859313967"><name>Edeka Bobingen km50 +0,5</name><sym>Shopping Center</sym></wpt>
 <wpt lat="48.34424170745477" lon="10.864577293395998"><name>Singold-Fabrikkanal-Zsfl</name><sym>Flag, blue</sym></wpt>

But I can not use the feature 'point notification' in folders so I miss POIS very often.
It is possible to create a notification for waypoints? (not wpt for navigation) equal to notification for folders: sound and distance can be changed.

Hi Christian,
and isn't the Point Alert (https://docs.locusmap.app/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:functions:poi_alert) function solving this?

Yes.
I missed the part "also of all non-navigational waypoints that are not included in a route".
Thank you.
