Great as GPS... Future Proof? no smartphone love... January 21, 2008
4 out of 7 found this review helpful
ok, this is a great GPS. simple to use, easy interface, easy upgrades, etc. THE CRAP, however, is that this is touted as 'future proof' and just isn't, not for me anyway. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a phone company shouting about smartphones, and yet this GPS doesn't support the TREO line of smartphones. WHat??? How can you NOT make this connection, I don't know. The call I made to customer support, they simply said that THEY did not support the TREO. Therefore, many of the cool 'features' on the phone, txt message support, data updates for POI's, etc., do not work with the TREO line.
Perfect! Excellente! January 21, 2008

- Great buy!
- If you are looking for a great, functionally rich GPS system at an exciting price. TomTom 720 is the way to go. I bought it at $357. Comparable products from Garmin/Megallan costs around $500 as of this writing.
- Basic GPS models are available starting $150 (TomTom One), so i was not very sure its worth to pay $200 more to get all these 'bells and whistles' comes with 720 (ie BlueTooth, MP3 player and FM transmitter, MapShare technology). When i ordered it, i was only 50% conviced all those options will be useful. BUT NOW that i used, i can vouch for 200% it was worth it. HERE is WHY, few examples of the functionality i successfully used
- I was looking for a store, so did a serach in the point of interst store showed up, with the details (including phone number). Wanted to find out the hours, just hot the call button, which dialed the store and spoek to the person and got the details (made possible through blue tooth technology)
- I like music, so in the last 4 week i have downloaded about 100 songs (mp3) from the web onto Tom Tom and it keep me entertained during my drives to work (i have a 30 minute commute). Made possible by MP3 player on 720
- The greatgest part of the MP3 player is i can hear the music through the car sterio system. Really beautifyl and the quality is really good. Made possible by the FM transmitter
- Real fun part is when you are following a route and mp3 player is on, your favourite songs will play between the instructions. Tom loweres the volume and read out the instructions and back to the songs again
- Also if you receive a phone call on your mobile, its tranferred to Tom Tom right away and you can pick up the call hands free. The mic is so sensitive, my 3.5 year old daughter sitting in the car seat can talk to mom through tom tom!!!!. Also call is noise free and very clear
- ANother fun part, you can download all your phone book to tom tom and to make a call just tap through the phone book entry. Cool stuff!!
- MapShare as of this writing this feature is only available in Tom Tom and this is great!. All other products will be coming with this feature near term. Idea is users worldwide contribute to improve the maps and POIs (remember wikipedia.. similar concept where users collectively bring about the best)
- It spells out the street names. This is good and really usefull. Beauty of this feature is you dont need to look at the screen and then the road to find the next street to turn.
Overall very very happy with Tom!
 awesome gear January 20, 2008
The Tom Tom 720 works great for us, Bought the unit for my non tech spouse, With the help where am I feature, the ability to tell the auto club or other help exactly where you are is a real plus. The unit is easy to see but still unobtrusive. Works well and meets our expectaions. I like that.
