The graphical user interface of the POI Manager can logically be subdivided in a map and list section. The map allows browsing, visualizing, editing and selecting existing POIs or visualizing additional base map raster layer like aerial image, topographic or basic maps as well as a point layer containing street addresses.

The second section contains the non geographical representation of the POIs in form of lists. Lists allow enabling to look for single POIs by name based filtering or sorting functions.

The map view and list view are interactive based on the fact that the selection of a POI in the map leads to the selection of the corresponding entry in the listed view of the collection.

1. Search bar allows searching for places, localities, municipalities or coordinates
2. Spatial coordinates bar allows defining the type of spatial references as well as reading the coordinates of the mouse cursor
3. Activate or deactivate the list of available additional layers
4. Login or logout button to create or terminate a user session
5. Activate or deactivate the overview map
6. Non geographical view of the available collections (see following sub chapters)
7. Dynamic scale bar
8. Map navigation bar allows zooming in and out, panning vertical or horizontal and zooming out to the initial extent of the country

The map section allows browsing, visualizing, editing and selecting existing POIs or visualizing additional base map raster layer like aerial image, topographic or basic maps as well as a point layer containing street addresses. A detailed description of the map navigation can be found here. Next to the manual navigation the map supports searching by localities, coordinates or places, a detailed description to the search bar can be found here.

Generally the map contains a base map layer and the POIs of a selected collection, the base map should give additional support for orientation on the map. Several types of base maps can be displayed by selecting the accordingly layer at the table of layers available the “couches” button or the double arrowed button on the upper right corner of the map. (see point 3 of the GUI description). This table of layers contains next to the current available aerial image, the topographical map, a simplified base map and point layer representing the street address. The selected layer will be displayed by checking the accordingly check box next to the desired layer description.

On the lower right corner of the map you can find a second double arrowed button allowing to show or hide a small interactive overview map (see point 5 of the GUI description). The extent of the current map windows is represented by a red square, as both windows are interactively connected the extent on the overview map will change when the main map extent is changed and vice versa.

The context menu of the map can be opened by clicking the right mouse button anywhere on the map. The context menu includes the following three options:

• Find in the list - Shows the appropriated entry in the selected collection (Note: Returns no entry if no POI was clicked)
• Create a POI here - Opens the “Create new POI” dialog with the coordinates of the clicked point on the map
• Associate this position with the selected file - Set the clicked point on the map as the new point for the currently selected entry of the collection. This step is equal to editing a point manually, you will change the old geometry to a new one. (Note: For persistent changes you need to save your changes by hitting the Save button on the upper left corner of the “Collection data” toolbar)

Note: If no collection is selected at the “My collection” tab at the listed view section all buttons of the map context menu are disabled. You have to select a collection first to enable the collection related functions. The current selected collection can be check at the label Active collection: located on the left side of the bar separating the map from the list section.

A collection is a set of POIs created by users or accumulated by including public collections into a new one. Visually each collection is one list of POIs. All collections are managed in the lower part of the application. The management of collections is organized in tabs including the following tabs:

• My collections - Allows managing all collections that I have created or shared with friends
• Public collections - List of collection that are accessible for the public
• Collection data - Listing the currently selected collection
• Available styles - Defining symbols for visualizing my POIs
• Available tool tips - Defining pop up windows for my POIs

• Modify collection - Edit the initial parameters set at the moment of creation (including name and description of the collection)
• Save modification - Changes of collection properties are only persistent after you saved them by hitting this button (Note: Unsaved modification are illustrated with a red flag at the upper left corner of the accordingly attribute field)
• Synchronize collection - If the collection contains part of a public collection this button leads to the synchronization (update) of those imported POIs (Attention: If you edited POIs that are part of a public collection yourself, those changes will be lost by overriding with the current public version of those POIs)
• Export as XLS: Initializes the download process of the selected collection as Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 (.xls) file format
• Delete selected collections: Deletes the selected collection, you will get ask to confirm the deletion

All collection that are accessible to the public are listed in this tab. Own collections can be shared with the public by using the Share this collection button at the My collections tab (see section My collection for further information). Public collections comprehend 5 attributes including :

The pop up dialog includes a combo box menu allowing to select one of mine existing collection in which the POIs of the public collection should be imported. (Note: If you want to create a new collection containing only the POIs of the public collection, you need to create a empty collection first)

All POIs that are in the currently selected collection are listed in this tab. It includes several option as well as a text filter search function. The listing section contains 19 columns displaying attribute values for each POI. If you want to scroll through POI entries you can use the browsing toolbar located at the bottom of the page.

• COMMENT: When I use the “Find in the list” function on the map context menu, the selected entry is shown successfully but how can i get back to the rest of the list? Sort of “clear selection” is missing.
• ERROR: When I select a Attribute field name at the Import file dialog and go back by “previous” → return by “next” the selected attribute fields are no longer available at the list. I guess the list is loaded once at the initialization of the import dialog.
• COMMENT: When a new POI is created manually by hitting the Create new poi button. The POI jumps to the middle of the window extent, a more intuitive approach would be a selector which the user can use to choose the possible of the POI

• Creating new style by clicking the “New Style” button of the “Style actions” button or context menu of a style entry
• Entering name and description
• OBSERVATION: After hitting the “Create style” button a style dialog pops up
• Selecting a single symbol for all POIs by defining the symbol at the “Symbol” tab
• Saved and applied the style by hitting the “Save the symbol definition” button
• Defined categories of symbols at the “Categorized” tab
• Chose a attribute field containing the attribute that should be categorized
• Defined a symbol for each category or select “automatically fill” or selected own image
• Saved and applied the style by hitting the “Save the symbol definition” button
• Set a label by selecting a attribute field at the “Etiquette” tab and checking the showing selecting box
• Defined different maximal scales
• FINAL STATE: Successful.
• FINAL COMMENT:
  • Single symbols and categorized symbols shouldn't be on the same level as etiquette. I propose to put both types of symbology to one tab “symbol”.
  • “Automatically fill” is not self explaining.

• ERROR: If I cancel the creation of a new style at the style definition dialog by hitting the “x” button, the new style undefined style remains with the default settings in the style list.
• ERROR: Symbol definition dialog - SVG symbols looks similar to PNG excepts the name. But they are not shown at the map? Looks like the files would not exists.

• Creating a new tool tip by hitting the “New tooltip” button of the “tooltips actions”
• Entering the name and title of the tool tip
• COMMENT Title field supports only static input
• Defining the body part of the tool tip with static and dynamic context, attribute values are inserted by a combobox menu filled with all attribute field names
• Different formatting orders on static and dynamic text tested
• FINAL_STATE: Successful.
• FINAL_COMMENT: The workflow of changing styles or tooltips is very similar, i think it would be user friendly to implement the same way of editing and saving styles and tool tips. There is no “Save” button at the tool tip modification dialog, I guess thats because every time the entire tooltip is overwritten, but maybe you could use the same work pattern (edit and save or save every edit step) at both definitions (styles and tool tips)
• ERROR Uploaded images cannot be shown in tooltip : internal server error (tried with GIF and PNG)

• NOTE: Nice to have.
• ERROR: When the “geocoding list” is selected the features blinking in ca. 5 second interval (funny)
• FINAL_STATE: Successful.
• FINAL_COMMENT: Any additional purpose than geocoding process information?

• ERROR: When I change the spatial reference system to UTM or WGS84 the “Couches” button jumps horizontally depending on the coordinates numbers
• NOTE: The current way of notification which collection is active doesn't fit with my brain. A lot of errors or confusions I ran in were based on the fact that I have selected the wrong collection
• COMMENT: Selecting more than one raster layer makes no sense, if i select another base map I don't want to undone the selection of the previous one to actual see the new selection. A radio group solution would be better.
• ERROR: Geocoding is not correct with an address containing year numbers. E.g. “1, place des sacrifies 1940-1945 L-4115 ESCH-SUR-ALZETTE” → 1940 recognized as ZIP
• COMMENT Translations should be rechecked
• COMMENT: Consider rearrangement for tabs. Collection tabs should be separated from Data, Style and tooltip tab.

• Point 9: Select a POI from the list leads to select it automatically on the map. Selecting a POI from the map should result in selecting this item in the list and center at this item, this is not working or supported.
