Save file – creates a copy of the currently loaded file with a new name and/or in a new location.
Add from file – loads POIs from a selected file to the currently loaded file.
Import – loads POIs from a file compatible with the AutoMapa 3 format (.uam) or in the text format (.csv file). This
option allows the user to load POIs from miplo.pl website (.uam format). The system will ask the user whether to create a
separate file for imported POI. If you answer "No", your points are added to the current POI file; if you choose "Yes", a
new POI file will be created in the same folder as the imported file.
By tapping one of the points on the list, you can open a context menu which, apart from the items described above, also
features an "Edit..." button. By editing a POI, you can change its category, name or description.
In this option you can edit and delete POIs or import POI files from other AutoMapa users or users of webservices (such
as miplo.pl).

journey and presenting it along with the trace “live” on Miplo website.

symbolizes the direction. When viewing the data, the following
information is available: date and time of measurement and driving
speed (if not reserved).

Use of downloaded POIs in AutoMapa
To use a downloaded POI in navigation, you need first to load that file to
the program. It is a one-off process, and any future POI updates will be
loaded automatically to AutoMapa.
When you want to use the downloaded POI file for navigating, have the
application load the file. It is a one-time action. Future POI updates will
be automatically loaded to AutoMapa.
To load the POI file to Automapa, choose the Settings – User’s POIs in
the application. In the window that appears, select File at the bottom,
and then Load file. Next, point to the file with downloaded POIs.
