Medion md96820

I have never heard of that unit. Can you access the manufacturer's website and/or documentation and see if it make any mention to being able to add user level Custom POIs?

Found this software called POI-Warner, it is mainly intended to add POI proximity warnings to various GPS models that don't feature it, but it also lets you add custom POIs, and it supports Medion models, so it may help you:

As always, being a 3rd party software, check first to make sure your warranties are not affected.

Otherwise, the manufacturer's website is

Hope this helps,

Can't find the info on whether this unit can use custom poi's, however judging from it's operating system, I would say no. POI-warner would cure this, and I see no reason why it would void any warranties because your GPSr uses a windows OS.
