The built-in POIs are pretty much there to stay (AFAIK). As to the POIs that you load yourself, they are overwritten the next time you load POIS, so whenever you load POIs you have to load all that you want in there (workaround to this given below). You can also delete all POIs without loading more with the POI loader.
The POIs that you load are placed in a file called poi.gpi in he POI directory in the Garmin. If you rename this file from poi.gpi to somethingelse.poi then it will not be overwritten when you next load POIs, and the gps will still find those POIs when it boots up, combining all of the pois that you have in all .gpi files. This gives you a way to avoid having to upload a lot of POIs whenever you want to make an addition.

You can't do what you are asking -- custom POIs cannot be added to the built-in categories.
Nuvi 660 -- and not upgrading it or maps until Garmin fixes long-standing bugs/problems, and get maps to where they are much more current, AND corrected on a more timely basis when advised of mistakes.
