# Point of Interest Actor

Documentation for BP\_QuestMapPro\_POI

The **Point Of Interest** **(POI)** world actor (**BP\_QuestMapPro\_POI**) is used to define a location in the world that may be of interest to the player, but is not necessarily unique or important in the same way that a [Landmark ](/quest-map-pro/world-actors/landmark-actor.md)is. It also contains data used by various Quest Map Pro systems for display to the player.

## Setting Up A Point of Interest <a href="#h.3rs57otlg0qw" id="h.3rs57otlg0qw"></a>

Adding a point of interest to interact with the systems of Quest Map Pro is very easy. Check the tutorial [Setting Up POIs](/quest-map-pro/getting-started/setting-up-pois.md) for a full step-by-step guide (both in video and written form) to setting up POIs in your project.

### Suggested POI Workflow <a href="#h.drxr60iq8jdq" id="h.drxr60iq8jdq"></a>

While the tutorials above go over how to manually add a unique POI, in most cases it is much more efficient to build the POI actor into other actors that represent parts of the game world. Using a tree harvesting node as an example, rather than placing the tree and POI actor separately, simply adding a POI actor as a child actor within the blueprint used for the tree harvesting node would be a much more efficient way to achieve this same result. This same methodology can be utilized for any POI that has an actor that is used in the world.
