  1. I work for an electric utility with substations scattered across 4 states. Each station has lat/long available and has be located on GoogleEarth. What feature should I look for that would allow me to enter or download the lat/long information into the GPS for driving instructions to these sites?

  2. Custom POI databases. Almost any Garmin or TomTom GO/XL device will do that.
