POI stands for point of interest probably. When stand-alone GPS navigation devices were more common it was a pretty common acronym.

- lwhi 8y agoGood point .. but if you look at the context, I think person of interest actually makes more sense in a lot of cases.
- yayana 8y agoSeems like it is always related to whether a point is a person's X,Y,Z and then what airport given multiple X,Y,Z.. I.e. what airport is in the user's habitual range. I don't get why you would want the calculate an airport for multiple people of interest on one POI's phone.
- lwhi 8y agoGroups of people travelling together?

- BoorishBears 8y agoPOI stands for Point of Interest. People learn something new every day, I don’t know why you’re trying to force it.
- azinman2 8y agoContext is about location. Point of interest is most probable. That’s standard mapping lingo.
- lwhi 8y agoI definitely understand your point, but I'm talking about the specific context the acronym is being used in. e.g. callsPoiAtHome() callsPoiAtHomeAtGeoPoint() callsPoiAtFamiliarPlace() callsPoiAtWorkPlace() Edit: typo
- yayana 8y agoWhy would you combine the Boolean for whether a user is nefariously a Person OI with each type of check for their location? Nefarious POI would have a very limited context in the frontend (after it turns everything on.) Subcategories of Points OI being coded this way makes a lot more sense.
- lwhi 8y agoYeah, good point - may have been watching too much TV :)
- azinman2 8y agoI read this as the POI IS at home, the POI IS at familiar place, etc.
