Is it possible to eliminate selected factory installed POIs? Another option: if one cannot delete selected factory installed POIs, can one delete the icons that accompany the factory installed POIs?

Sorry

Sorry, No and No. You can't do anything with the preinstalled POI's or icons on your GPS.

As far as I know-- you

As far as I know-- you cannot delete or modify any Garmin installed POIs.

And that's because

You can't delete or modify them because they are part of the map data, not a separate POI file.

Deleting factory installed POIs

I don't think you can delete them either, but I can see why in some cases you may want to.
1. Out of date - moved to new location or no longer there.
2. Not interested in poi and may interfere with other info on map.
