Now, now. This is a group of users. We cannot do anything about your complaint except perhaps offer sympathy. There are three things you can do, though, if you are serious and not just blowing off steam.

1. The Navteq company puts the "idiotic POI's" into the product. You can write to the "contact us" link at http://www.navteq.com/.

2. Garmin, as an important customer, may be able to influence what Navteq produces. You can write or phone them at the contacts at http://www.garmin.com/contactUs/.

3. You can vote with your wallet for a product that you find superior.

Or you can keep whining here and wondering why your complaints are ignored. Your call. 

And with that I also fully agree.
