# Places (POIs)
Places, also known as Points of Interest (POI), are an essential feature of fleet management and asset tracking. Organizations can create a detailed list of Places, including key locations like offices and warehouses, as well as numerous sites crucial for logistics operations. Places improve operational efficiency by optimizing route planning and streamlining task assignments for field employees.
To access the **Places** tool, click 
in the toolbar in the top-right corner of the map.
### Practical application
* **Finding locations:** Quickly find a Place by typing its name or tag in **Quick search**.

* **Assigning tasks:** Simplify task assignment by using Place names instead of full addresses.
