what does 'gen pou' mean? example: 'li gen pou vini?' seems like it means something like 'he wants to come, but has no plans to, or doesn't know when.' thanks!

'gen pou' is a determiner for the future tense. Like you said, it means 'plan to'.

M gen pou ale lavil. - I have plans to go downtown.
Li gen pou vini aswè a. - She plans to come tonight.
Nou gen pou chante nan konsè a. - We plan to sing at the concert
