Default Another Sat-Nav dilema

Hi all,

as the title suggests, I have a small dilema regarding which Sat-Nav unit to ultimately go for. I have recently been using the Evesham Nav-Cam 7500EU, which I have for a month before I decide whether or not I want to keep it. Its not actually a bad unit, nice & compact, good, clear screen, excellent speed cam prompts, etc. However, the downsides are non-customisable POI's, and the POI's that come pre-loaded have several glaring catagory ommisions (no petrol stations, for example) or complete locations non-existant. It also has some very strange ideas about which way to direct me, ie select 'fastest route' and it completely ignores a dual carriageway ring road and directs me through several high streets, country lanes and villages This unit would cost me
