POI's versus Waypoints?

[Andy B]

So, I've added all the BMW dealerships in North America to my route in Basecamp for the September trip as Waypoints. Is this the best way to go?

It wouldn't be hard to export them as a csv file and create a POI database to drop onto my Nav 5. I'm planning to circulate the info to others as well who will be using 660's, 550's and Tom Tom's.

Is one method better than the other or is there nothing in it?

The Waypoint limit on most satnavs is usually a lot lower than the POI limit if that makes any difference to any of your your groups devices

Can all the devices being used handle POI's?

Tried to load 21 POI's and (despite saying the upload was successful) it only appears to have added about 15. I've never had this before. I've got all the B&Q stores for the whole of the UK and that wasn't a problem.

See your a keen DIYer.
