Point of Interest

This is an Augmented Reality Game trope. A Point of Interest is a real-world location that has a special purpose or function within the game world.

Real Life Examples

 * Pokémon GO has at least three:
 * Pokéstops
 * Gyms
 * Nests
 * Spawn points, if these are different from nests
 * Harry Potter: Wizards United has three varieties:
 * Inns, where players can dine and regain Spell Energy, as well as deploy Dark Detectors to attract high-risk Traces.
 * Greenhouses, where they can find random potions ingredients or grow their own
 * Fortresses, where they can face difficult challenges for high rewards.

Live-Action TV

 * A large number are scattered around the Spanish city of Granada in the Korean series Memories of the Alhambra. By the end of the first episode you see a spawn point for a weapon and the encounter zone of what amounts to a Boss for the tutorial level.
