OK, try this. Start > Run > (type) regedit (to start Registry Editor).
In Registry Editor, select File > Import > select "mapsource.reg" > Open. Then install Mapsource.

Yes.

Yes, that is called POI Contribution. In Mapsource, save it as GDB file, and upload it at the appropriate feedback section with some comments. The mapper will collect these contributions, and update the map accordingly.

Zoom in further, and then only select with Waypoint Tool. While you select with Waypoint Tool, make sure the POI name is highlighted. If there are a few POIs nearby, right-click, select the appropriate POI, select New Waypoint.

Pls do the following:
1) Select the Waypoints tab
2) Right click on Emech
3) Choose Waypoint(s) Properties...

FYI, Waypoint = POI.

If you mean the POI is saved in Nuvi Favorites, connect Nuvi to PC, start Mapsource, select Receive from Device icon(or Transfer > Receive from Device). Then, all your saved Favorites will be uploaded into Mapsource.
