Default Navigation Custom Point of Interest (POI)

Is there any way to load a custom list of Point of Interest (POI) into the Lexus navigation system ?

My business requires me to travel a lot to different fixed lists of places

It will be about 10 lists, each list has like 30-50 addresses

On my phone, I will use Google's My Map (old name is Google Map Engine) which is quite convenient. Hope I can find a way to use Lexus navigation for this purpose as well

On Canadian models you can't, but not sure if the Enform-based system allows the upload. US owners may be able to chime in. Good luck.

Thank you, corradoMR2

I have gone through the (long) Enform FAQ but it does not seem support it

Is eDestination still subscription based? I had it (and Destination Assist) in my last Lexus and used it all the time. Very convenient and user friendly.

I just found the pricing. Not cheap, but if you use it frequently it might be worth it.
