A "yes" answer might also include some details of how it is done.

Well I cannot say 'Yes' without it being qualified. The map I worked on was not for Australia. But the process was the same. I don't know if BabyMakingWeather was referring to me, as I don't know if he knew me at that stage - it was a few years ago
I did have to first extract and format data from another source, and then compile the data into the right format.
As this all happened before PimpMyNav appeared, I wrote mr own little software routines to achieve my desired result.
I even looked at trying to extract the POI data from the CARINDB file, and started down that path analysing the CARINDB file structure. But it was too hard - the data I wanted then appeared in a different location
So yes, you can do what you want to do, if you can get your hands on the data.
Don't ask me for it as I don't have any Austrlian data.
And you may want to consider replacing the existing POI data with POI data from another source, depending on how extensive and accurate your POI data is.
