So, although you can create a POI in the middle of a field, you can't actually get directions to that exact point in the field, just to the nearest road.
Yes, I was wondering if you can generate a POI by entering (copy paste) the real coordinates. If that is not a current function, I don't want to sidetrack the Mapper development cycle for non-driving purposes. The real intention? Geocaching. I'd like to download a route to drive up to the field and a POI dot in the middle of the field would tell me where to walk after I get out of the car.

Mapper works great for it's intended purpose and I'd hate to see it run slower due to unecessary overhead. I'm still learning how POI's work, so I'm trying to figure out if Mapper already can do it. Is there a way to make my own POI database with known coordinates from other sources?
