Add/Delete table rows dynamically using JavaScript

You could just clone the first row that has the inputs, then get the nested inputs and update their ID to add the row number (and do the same with the first cell).

function deleteRow(row)
{
    var i=row.parentNode.parentNode.rowIndex;
    document.getElementById('POITable').deleteRow(i);
}


function insRow()
{
    var x=document.getElementById('POITable');
       // deep clone the targeted row
    var new_row = x.rows[1].cloneNode(true);
       // get the total number of rows
    var len = x.rows.length;
       // set the innerHTML of the first row 
    new_row.cells[0].innerHTML = len;

       // grab the input from the first cell and update its ID and value
    var inp1 = new_row.cells[1].getElementsByTagName('input')[0];
    inp1.id += len;
    inp1.value="";

       // grab the input from the first cell and update its ID and value
    var inp2 = new_row.cells[2].getElementsByTagName('input')[0];
    inp2.id += len;
    inp2.value="";

       // append the new row to the table
    x.appendChild( new_row );
}

Demo below

function deleteRow(row) {
  var i = row.parentNode.parentNode.rowIndex;
  document.getElementById('POITable').deleteRow(i);
}


function insRow() {
  console.log('hi');
  var x = document.getElementById('POITable');
  var new_row = x.rows[1].cloneNode(true);
  var len = x.rows.length;
  new_row.cells[0].innerHTML = len;

  var inp1 = new_row.cells[1].getElementsByTagName('input')[0];
  inp1.id += len;
  inp1.value="";
  var inp2 = new_row.cells[2].getElementsByTagName('input')[0];
  inp2.id += len;
  inp2.value="";
  x.appendChild(new_row);
}

<div id="POItablediv">
  <input type="button" id="addPOIbutton" value="Add POIs" /><br/><br/>
  <table id="POITable" border="1">
    <tr>
      <td>POI</td>
      <td>Latitude</td>
      <td>Longitude</td>
      <td>Delete?</td>
      <td>Add Rows?</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>1</td>
      <td><input size=25 type="text" id="latbox" /></td>
      <td><input size=25 type="text" id="lngbox" readonly=true/></td>
      <td><input type="button" id="delPOIbutton" value="Delete" onclick="deleteRow(this)" /></td>
      <td><input type="button" id="addmorePOIbutton" value="Add More POIs" onclick="insRow()" /></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
