Can you find the about screen or version number of the software, if it is version 7 then you can add custom POI and Favourites, if its version 8 then you can add favourites but it has no custom POI support, I will move this thread to the Route 66 forum section - Mike

its 8 . can i install 7 it sounds better
i bought it for work who supply a poi list of places i visit
pretty useless without it
why would routee 66 do that????

ps favorites would do but can i input them automatically?
what about contacts?
if i could add all the positions here it would be better but to do it manually would take ages

Only one word springs to mind STUPIDITY - in this day and age any device that fails to support custom POI shouldn't even make it through test let alone end up in the shops, a pathetic waste of money, if you have the option to return the device and get a refund as it clearly isn't suitable for what you want to do with it.
There is no way to automatically install locations as Favourites either as far as I can tell - Mike

yes i can return it but must do so tommorrow
real shame as its a good device and i prefer it to the tom tom i will probably now have to buy
as i spent hours making and installing a custom mount for it grrr
STUPIDITY as you rightly said they must be loosing out loads because of this i showed it to work colleges anf we decided to buy quite a few but this has ruined it
