Hi there,
u might want to specify from which ur starting point is, so that some experienced people here can help. And do u mean terengganu (terrangua - never heard of this place)

For searchable POIs in MFM091207:
1st destination: 2nd Link Checkpoint (N1.37769 E103.59886)
2nd destination: Esso Mersing (N2.42894 E103.83415)
Final destination: Any POI in Kuantan.

Note: If your Garmin device supports multiple point routing feature, the above (1st & 2nd destinations) can be set as via points.

You don't have to use the route as your starting point may be different, however you might want to transfer 1st and 2nd destinations to device as Favorites/My Location items. If you don't have Mapsource installed, just Spell Name for the POI in device.
