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. If you go to the ''Menu'', select ''Bookmarks'' and select ''Import'', select the file you want to import.

-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, 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).+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.
