How do I create and sync POIs with the Suunto app?

A point of interest (POI) will help you find important locations on a map, hidden gems waiting to be found on your trails or your hotel when you're out exploring. You can create the POIs you want in the app and use up to 250 of them with your Suunto 5, 9 and Spartan watch.
