1. A navigation device, comprising:
- a storage device configured to store map information, said map information including a plurality of points of interest (POIs) in a database, the POIs including;
description information;
an indication of type; and
point location information, and the POIs being stored in the database such that they can be used as a destination for a route calculation algorithm and;
a user interface configured to receive at least one input from a user to create at least one first POI for insertion in the storage device;
a connection device configured to connect the navigation device to at least one of a remote server and another navigation device for the selective retrieval of at least one second POI for insertion in the storage device; and
a display configured to display at least one stored POI on a map based upon the point location information for the POI and further display a plurality of functions related to the at least one stored POI upon selection of the at least one stored POI.
