I would appreciate custom colors as well. Custom icons (e.g. Flags) are fancy but IMHO don’t add any extra functionality. Well I would be happy with either.
And of course it should be possible to give Names (and even colours) for waypoints.
This does not mean that the current numbering scheme should be replaced. The program could treat custom names as a comment and show it to the user.
If you use a custom POI as a waypoint then the waypoint would inherit the name of that POI
