Thanks to all for their comments and advice about which GPS !!

I went for Tom Tom for the W950i and will change to a different system if and when necessary ! I got the Sony Ericsson phone holder for the car, but didn't fancy screwing it to the dashboard



... so I super-glued the base to a base plate for a suction arm..



Maybe it looks a bit untidy but it does the job well and is firm and strong...



nearly all assembled....



now ready to put in the car ...



now plotting the route to Wembley !



I also have the cigarette power lead for the Holux unit and a double adaptor for power...



When I park up, all is easy to removed and store away !

Thanks again !!

Top idea mate!! I think I'll do that when I swap my car over!

Hope everything is running well for you now!

hi nanu*1!

I forgot to mention that I had a FM radio transmitter too so I can play music through the W950i, and then launch Tom Tom and hear the directions or alerts over the radio!

I have a 3 socket adaptor that does allows power to the W950i, FM tarnsmitter and Holux !

UPDATE - When the instructions kick in, the music stops from the W950i and doesn't restart automatically.... So I think an FM transmitter for listening to W950i music and Tom Tom don't work together..

Thanks again!
