seems to me that the 910 is the better bet - particularly given the 20GB drive - as that will also allow use of device as VIDEO on journeys where route is known....or should I go for the 710 |

How about a Mitac Mio C510E for £240 + £20 1Gb SD card? This combination will get you the favourably-reviewed IGO 2006 maps, full EU street-level coverage, MP3/JPG player, hands-free bluetooth, all for £100 less than equivalent competition. You can then get a portable DVD player to keep the sprogs in the back quiet, or even cheaper a roll of gaffer tape:)

I have had 2 TomTom and 2 Navman products over the years. I feel that my bad experiences of customer relations with TomTom would put me off ever buying TomTom again.
Navman on the other hand have only ever been excellent in this regard IMHO.
I currently have an ICN750 and the postcode navigation itself is so excellent as to recommend the product. The 4GB drive is barely half-used by the full euro maps anyway, but a 4GB SD card is a cheap option to bring nealry 6GB free -I doubt anyone would seriously need that much ever anyway.
For those who are interested in my bad experiences mentioned above? well, I once lost my reg code of my maps of western europe cd's. I was an 'early adopter' and they were quite expensive back then. TomTom would not supply the code unless I produced a sales receipt -which I also misplaced (moving house) and instead offered to send in the full original cd's they refused and my expensive purchase became trash. They assume the customer was dishonest which just isn't on. I actually found the reg code when I sifted through some old paperwork, but by then I'd long since gone over to a new Navman product. When I explained to TomTom I now wanted to sell my now redundant Maps of Europe, in order for TomTom to transfer my code to a new owner, they told me I could not sell the product as they refused to allow me to sell the maps on. I never felt quite so ripped off by a company ever.
Hate to end my first post on a 'moan' |

..and I forgot to add, the ICN750 is so sensitive it locks to the GPS signal sitting on my pc desk at my bedroom window inside my house, with double-gazing vertical blinds and curtain drawn. On a road run to Leeds though a long tunnel, the lock remained much longer into the tunnel, and picked up again far quicker near the exit, than all my previous GPS's
The sensitivity is astounding. |
