Hi, Yes, the pOIs you save as favorites or ad to My places are backed up automatically to iCloud and restored to your new phone without your having to do anything. I guess if you don't use iCloud, they're backed up to your computer, but that's just a guess. Best, Anna On Jun 5, 2014, at

I'm late to this thread, so sorry if this has been covered. Has this guy never heard of a bluetooth keyboard, Fleksy, iOS8's global third-party keyboard support, a braille display, tactile screen protectors, a two-finger double tap... I understand that no single person can know everything.
