Editing a User-Created POI

POIs that you have saved can be edited to change the icon, visibility, name, elevation, and
message. You can also change the location, but keep in mind that this effectively is creating
a new POI in a new location. If the POI you are editing is used in a route, the changes made
to the POI will not be reflected in the route.
