 Love It December 26, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A GPS user for over ten years on the ocean and finally have a compact, user friendly, computer linked GPS for my car. Always on, use it every where I go. The new map issue I read about is fixed so buy now and enjoy.
The blue tooth user inter-face for the phone (Motorola L2) is perfect. No more ear bud for me, the quality is clear and easy to use while driving.
Caution, be sure you practice with the GPS, phone and controls before trying to drive with these types of systems. You could easily become distracted. It is as bad a "texting" while driving. I know that is obvious but the screen is so clear and absorbing with options you might just forget where you are.
Love This TomTom! December 25, 2007
This thing works great, and is easy to use. Detail is excellent. Don't know how I've lived without one.
Great product December 25, 2007

I was surprised the 720 picked up satellites even when I was inside the house 10-15 feet from a window. My old Magillan did not do this.
Once the 720 had located satellites the first time any subsequent use resulted in a very fast lock on to the satellites. Usually 30 seconds to a minute.
I was also surprised to see some dirt farm roads show up on the screen even though they don't have a name and I was unaware they existed until I saw them on the screen.
It was also interesting that when I programmed in a destination and then took a side trip of several miles the 720 automatically adjusted and re-figured the route from the new location without any action on my part.
My blue tooth LG phone (From Verizon) will connect with the 720 and I can make and receive phone calls but the LG 8300 cell phone will not transfer its phone book to the 720 and it looks like few if any LG phones will transfer their phone book to the TT 720. Best check compatibility before you buy if this is important to you.
I wish the 720 were compatible with LG and the battery life were longer on the TT 720.

TomTom has the best GPS out December 24, 2007
I have had Garmin, Magellan, and other TomTom's and the 720 is by far my favorite model. Others seemed to lag behind, while the TomTom is the most accurate. It has more features than I'll ever use, but they are still nice to have. The only thing I feel it is missing is the ability to use the FM transmitter to play the music stored on the GPS. Music can only be played over the internal speaker.
Maps not up-to-date December 24, 2007
I have had my TomTom Go for about a month, but I haven't really used it all that much yet. I chose this one because of the great reviews that I ready, but also because it's supposed to be able to take your target destinations and map the best route. I'm a real estate agent, and I think this might be extremely helpful... especially when I venture out away from my normal territory. I've not put this function through it's paces yet.
The maps are NOT up-to-date. Some roads that should definitely be on there are not, and none of the newer roads (1 year or so old) are on the maps. Also, the "time to destination" calculation is way off. For example, I traveled to one destination and it said that the time was 24 minutes and on the return trip it estimated the time at 45 minutes... same roads... same speed.
The screen is great, the size is excellent... I'm hopeful that the company will improve the maps, and then I would give this gadget a 5!
