Custom POIs 

Depending on your Navman model, Custom POIs features may not be available. 

The Custom POIs (Points of Interest) application allows you to create or import your own POI files. These are called 
custom POIs. Unlike preinstalled POIs, custom POIs can be removed from your Navman and can have audio as well 
as visual alerts associated with them.
