Not sure on destinations as I only have 5 in at the mo with Tom Tom on my P910i. I do however have speed cameras set as POI and it works very well.

Ive got loads of destinations in my Tomtom5 satnav on my C500 mobile, over 40 I think.

Also got speed camera locations in - fixed, specs, mobile sites etc - all with different noises as I get near them, and I also get a warning at different distances to the cameras (like to know where the mobile sites are earlier than fixed!) - this is all configurable.

Overall Ive been very pleased with it!

I'm probably being very dumb here - but is it possible to get Sat Nav set up for my SE K750i? If so, what would I need?

Cheers

Nope. You can only get it for phones running either Windows Smartphone (ie SPV C500, C550 etc) or Symbian (P900, P910 etc) operating systems.

Edit: At least for Tomtom satnav anyway!

What do you mean by "destinations"? You can usually set up an itinerary to go to each in turn (although 40 in a day is pushing it). Or you can set up a number of "favourites" or "points of interest" then navigate to each as you see fit. What you can't do is say "I want to visit all these destinations today, show me the most efficient route" because that's the travelling salesman problem, which is a mathematical problem that is very hard to solve.
