While recording a ride, you can save a point of interest (POI) at any time. This is a great method for marking something special while out riding, like a water stop, a supply stash, beautiful viewpoint, or anything else you want to be able to find later.

POI on your Saved Rides
Any POI that you’ve added to a recorded ride will show up on your final ride recording in the website and on the app. This is great for scouting out locations and taking notes along a route. Note: POI that you add to a ride will not automatically update on the corresponding route.
