Google maps - SendToCar
From what I could find out - Google Maps' SendToCar actually makes use of SendToBenz - which is part of MBrace.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to MBrace in my country. Does anyone know if there is another way to send PoI's from google maps to your car?
I don't have my car yet - so this is just for some research before I get it. It will be fitted with Garmin's Map Pilot. I didn't opt to get the Command Online option.

Just go to his URL: https://www.google.com/maps/sendtocar
Add your car VIN to the Account field. Then when you are logged in Google Maps on your PC, you can send it to your car. It works for me in Canada. But I have to have my iPhone data tethering on in the car.

Another easy way to store POI : add waypoints in a file with Basecamp from Garmin, save it with the name 'SavedPOIs.GPX', store it on the root of a sd card, after in the car you can start a route by selecting a POI from the list in the Command Menus.
