TomTom GO 720

Pros: MP3, audio book, maps, POI, Bluetooth, Fm transmiter

Cons: crashes, no SDHC, Bluetooth HF noise reduction, TOMTOM software

The Bottom Line: Wait. It has all the features of a perfect Multimedia Nav system but its not finished.

Review: I purchased this in October 2007 and have mixed feelings. If feels live a very early version of a great product. There are snags, poor documentation, and incompatibility. But...

The good:
()complete maps - I have all of Europe on one...

Pros: Large Screen Excellent features Good computer interface software Easy to use

Cons: Weak FM Modulated Output Not Compatible with many blue tooth phones

The Bottom Line: I recommend it. Large Screen, intuitive interface, good features.

Review: Purchased this unit and have been using it for about 2 months now.

Bought it prior to a 6 hour car trip out of state that I was having to make at night.

I also lived in Europe for a while and had a vehicle there with a built in...

Pros: bright screen good suction mount good volume even with stereo on

Cons: some new streets not yet in database

Review: I purchased this for my wife 3 days ago and so far it is a true gem. The Bluetooth (contrary to phone compatibility/functionality issues I've heard) works awesome! I own a Blackberry Pearl and my wife owns the Erikson 810W (both on Rogers network...

Pros: Very accurate maps, user friendly interface, extended battery life, fun to use

Cons: Difficult at first to figure out the FM transmitter

Review: I've been using the GO 720 for a while now and love this device. I'm very familiar with other gps devices, but this is by far my favorite. It has a lot of great features, my favorite being the built in FM transmitter. I've downloaded a few MP3s to...

Pros: Easy to view, easy to understand.

Cons: Doesn't know where anything is.

The Bottom Line: In the end, a GPS has to get you there. The 720 doesn't. Don't bother with this unit until the maps greatly improve.

Review: The Tomtom 720 has so much potential. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, it has to get you where you need to go and it falls far short.

First, the display is very nice. The maps are easy to view. There is a ton of information of the...

Pros: Good speaker

Cons: Non-existent customer support Hard to read Slow locking Inaccurate distances

Review: My unit died after only 4 months.
They do not provide a customer support
phone number, and enquiries sent via
e-mails were ignored.

I paid over $800 for this thing, and it
is now completely useless.

When it...

Pros: 3-D screen is 'da bomb!

Cons: Only has point A to point B capability.

Review: I ordered a TomTom 'Go' GPS unit from Abes of Maine for use on my motorcycle. It's a great unit -for a car, just not well suited for a bike. I called Abes customer service asking about returning it, and after answering a few questions about it's...

Pros: LCD touch Screen and voice is crystal clear...easy to operate, long battery life.

Cons: Outdated Maps/POIs. Many map errors. Chooses local roads over highways. Loses route on cloudy days.

Review: This is a very cute device, but not as useful as I had hoped. I live in the NY/NJ metro area and I still have to carry directions because the maps are grossly out of date. I mean up to 5 years or more out of date! I purchased this in February, 2005...

Pros: Accurate directions, up to date maps, PRICE!!!

Cons: "Points of Interest" database not as extensive as some competitors

The Bottom Line: A strong buy. Easy to use and learn. At this price, every car can have GPS - goodbye paper maps!

Review: I admit it - I am directionally challenged. It's not my fault...I am great at following directions. It's just that I always seem to be going someplace where the cities either haven't put up street signs (what's that about?) or freeway exits are not...

Pros: Easy interface, Points of interest (speed camera warnings!), verbal instruction, automatically readjusts for wrong turns

Cons: Doesn't seem to take into account typical congestion areas, slow/inaccurate startup

The Bottom Line: While it is by no means necessary, if you are new to a big city or travel a lot it is a wonderful toy to have and makes driving easier.

Review: I love this thing! We just moved to London and not only do I have to always drive on the other side of the road but I also have to be cognizant of one way streets and all these inane roundabouts that make it impossible for me to glance at a standard...
