Points of Interest are at the heart of user-friendly system and Points of Interest are what is making Taxi Booking so flexible and easily customizable to adapt to any business model.
This means that you are able to use Points of Interest for Fixed fare journeys where the fare is fixed between 2 destinations (Taxi Booking for Joomla 3 and Taxi Booking for WordPress), you can set Points of Interest as stops for your shuttle/bus/coach business in Taxi Booking for Joomla 3.
To keep things organized and to use some grouping features first go to the POI Categories section at the back end and create your Point of Interest categories.
When creating a Category you can upload an image that will be used as an icon in the POI drop-down at the front end (eg. a small aeroplane may indicate that this is an airport and your users will easily find what they are looking for).
To create Points of Interest go to the back end and click on the Points of Interest icon or menu item.
