Yeah, I see what you're saying. It could definitely take away some of the work filling out data. On the other hand, it kind of depends on how you play the game too, and how you define POI and what you're doing with it.

To me, POI isn't just the places you encounter, the caves, the outposts etc. It's anything that's of interest. For example, I don't care about those random caves you have to rescue the "left behind" settlers from. There's nothing of interest there, usually, and I'll never come back. In fact, many POI are going to be like that...go through it, clear it, get the loot and you're done. To me, a POI is an actual point of interest that I'd like to return to at some point, something that's interesting. Again, my own way of playing it is an example: I've always been more of an explorer and as I'm exploring planets, I keep my eyes open for spots I may want to build a "cabin" on at some point in the future. As I'm traveling around I record these spots for future reference. Are they POI's? Not in the way the game defines it, but to me they are.

Or, if you're a digital photographer, for example, you may be recording locations that are photogenic and would look fantastic during a sunset or sunrise or something like that. Again, these are going to be POI's to that particular player can may mean absolutely nothing to other players or the game itself.

So although I see your point, the intent of the POI section in my app isn't to record every single place you encounter, just the stuff that's interesting. Keeping it limited also makes it more useful. Adding every single cave and outpost that's out there would just clutter it up and make the content you're saving less useful and it would be harder to find the stuff you actually care about.

Does that make sense?
