I have a large number of POIs that do not have addresses. (This is because I am a cyclist and many of our start points are located in e.g. Park and Ride sites, trailheads, specific locations in large parking lots in colleges, etc.) Additionally, I have the usual POIs for doctors, friends, etc. Is there any way to send an entire set of POIs into UVO so I can select a desired one of them by touching the nav screen? In case it matters, I have a GT1 and I can export multiple POIs to a single GPX file.
 
Nope. UVO uses a completely different maps system, incompatible with Google Maps files. Closest you can do is program in addresses close to this POIs manually.

Thank you, Berzerker. Does that mean you need to program addresses, rather than locations?

Correct. However, if you connect the system to WiFi, you can use the google search function to potentially find a POI, then navigate to it.

Thanks once again, Berzerker. A question, though. Right now, I have enabled Android phone connections via USB and Bluetooth. What happens when the car is a) in WIFI range AND 2) USB connected, AND 3) Bluetooth paired? Is there a connection priority such that WIFI connection disables either of the other connections?

WiFi is separate from the car functions and only has to do with using the built-in UVO functions that require Internet access (Google Search, UVO connections, etc.)

USB connections will take priority over Bluetooth. If you've enabled Android Auto or CarPlay, the car will disconnect the phone from Bluetooth and use phone functions over USB. WiFi will only disconnect/disable if you do it manually.
