Try out Wayfinder on your k750i. You dont nead the GPS to try it. It can be downloaded directly to your phone from your browser. Go to
http://getwf.com. Its worth a try at least.

If your wanting to get one for a good price you should try looking for a navman 520 on ebay - should be able to pick one up for £150ish and they have loads of software you can get to put on them which adds things like the option to use full 7 digit post codes, alerts when speed cams are near, extra locations of intrest like things like caravan paks, golf courses and landmarks - if your wanting the newest of the newest then you would probs prfer the navman 750 but i'm unsure if there is any additional software availible for it yet,
I'm not sure about tom tom thought because ive never used them but im sure you will find them at a reduced price on eBay, and if you think eBay might be risky, dont worry its totally fine, ive bought 2 navmans on it and both have woked fine

Also try
www.hotukdeals.com there are a couple of discount codes for both navman and tom tom. They are really cheap from what they used to be, not got one myself though.

What exactly do you need out of the unit? Do you want UK maps only or do u want Europe wide or worldwide maps? Do you want the bluetooth call handling functionality or is this not necessary? If i know the answers to these then i can advise you better.
One thing i can say is that the new tomtom one is superb - very small and a vastly improved windscreen mount, and for sub £200 you can't go wrong. Generally the tomtom user interface is regarded as the best/easiest to use. As already mentioned
http://www.hotukdeals.co.uk is a great place to have a look as are some great offers on there. Also
http://www.find-satnav-deals.co.uk is very useful. Why not pop into your local halfords as they will have all the models on display so you can have a play see which one you like then come home and buy it off the internet for less!
Tom

I have had most of the TomToms and recently changed to a Navman 720. I love it! Had it two months now so must be good.
Try them out and do a websearch for prices. Mine in Argos was £399 but from Globalpositioningsystems was £299. Hell of a saving.
