You could try storing locations of the POI's along with information in a file. Then, create canvas from the initial image and 'plot' the points stored in the file on the new canvas with another image (E.g. a pin image).

File

{ poi: {
      "name": "Boots",
      "caption": "Pharmacy",
      "map_coord": {
          "x": 554,
          "y": 266
       }
    }
}

Canvas from image:

Canvas imageCanvas = new Canvas(initial_image);

For each map coordinate:

imageCanvas.drawBitmap(pin_image, map_coord.x, map_coord.y, null);
