 ====== Bookmarking your Favorite Spots and use them for Routing ======
-A common use case is for routing apps is to save your favorite spots, like biker cafes, viewpoints, roadside stops, etc. to have them handy if you want to include them in your route. The Kurviger app, [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gr.talent.kurvigero|free]] and [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gr.talent.kurviger.pro|pro]], allows you to store these points as bookmarks to have them handy wherever you go.

+__Tip: If you struggle to hit the bookmark, you can try to tap the bookmark first. This will open a pop-up bubble. You can long press the pop-up bubble to include the bookmark in your route.__

 If you go to the ''Menu'', select ''Bookmarks'' and select ''Import'', select the file you want to import. If you have any bookmarks in the app yet, the app will ask you if you want to add the bookmarks to your existing ones, or if you want to override your current bookmarks. It might be worthwhile to backup your current bookmarks before adding new ones, in case you would like to go back to the old state.
-It is important to note, that if you import huge amounts of POIs, the map might feel a bit slow on high zoom-levels, you can choose to not show the bookmarks if not need them and the map behaves normal. Also when importing large amounts of bookmarks, you should be aware, that it can be complicated to manage them. Therefore, I recommend to only import bigger amounts of POIs, if it wouldn't be easier to import them as route overlay (''Menu'', ''Route'', ''Import'', these POIs can be easily deleted and don't mix with your other bookmarks).
