 TomTom GO 720 IS A GREAT TRAVEL COMPANION! May 5, 2008
Purchased the TomTom Go 720 because I was taking a trip to Florida. It was a great way to travel and while visiting many places in the south, we never got lost. I would highly recommend this unit for anyone considering a portable GPS navigator, especially if you have a MAC computer.
Just what I was looking for May 2, 2008
The Tom Tom 720 was new and first rate, easy to use,very accurate,and clear voice both computer and human recorded. The only negative I've had was once I did not complete my trip to its destination & headed back with it wanting me to turn around to complete the trip until I shut it off, it never did readjust to the return trip but I had not programed a round trip into the unit.
I think that the 720 is the best for the money and highly recommend it or the 920 that has a few more doodads & of course cost more.

Great GPS device. Lots of positives, only minor negatives. April 29, 2008

I'd like to start off by saying that I've had a fair share of GPS devices in the last few years. I've had 2 Garmins, a Magellan, and now this TomTom. I can honestly say without a doubt that the TomTom is my favorite.
Out of the box, it took a while to lock onto the satellite but the download patch from TomTom Home took care of that. Now it usually locks onto the satellite within 5-10 seconds. While driving, route recalculations usually only take a few seconds. The directions give plenty of warning for upcoming turns and will even tell you which side of the interstate to stay on. If you're going through a traffic circle, it makes sure to say "Take the 2nd exit", or "Take the 4th exit". None of my other units would do that. They all just say "Turn right ahead" and I'd have to look at the actual screen to see which one.
The display is another reason I love this TomTom so much. Navigation is super-fast between menus and everything is easy to access, even while driving. The volume control is just 1 click away on the screen, and the mute button is just 2 clicks away.
The only thing that drives me a little nuts sometimes is the Points of Interest feature. 95% of the time, it's dead-on. That other 5% though, it's not even close. The stuff is either not where the TomTom said, or it's not listed in the TomTom. This is a really trivial thing since the only time you really need is this spur of the moment restaurant trips and such. It has all the big name restaurants and a lot of hotels, malls, and even regular strip mall shopping centers.
Overall, this is the best GPS unit I've ever owned. I almost wish I'd bought the 920 just so it would say the street names, but the 720 still displays the next street in big letters near the bottom so that's really just me being overly critical. The 720 is a great GPS and I doubt you can beat it for the price.
Tom Tom Tom A Winner April 26, 2008
I ordered the Tom Tom 720 on a Tuesday and it arrived on Thursday. It's a great little gizmo, smart and easy to use- I love it. The installation etc took quite a while but patience paid off.
 I really tried to like the TomTom 720 - but does not hold a candle to the Garmin 660 April 25, 2008

After reading reviews on both the Garmin 660 and TomTom 720, I decided to try both. Today took them on a trip of about 200 miles round trip mounted side by side. There has been a ton of information written about both units, so I won't go into a lot of details.
Bottom line, the TomTom doesn't even come close to the Garmin in usability. Here is a list of a few of the issues I had with the TomTom.
1- Mount is cheap and flimsy.
2- Unit difficult to slip into mount - can't see mounting guide on back of unit to slip the unit on easily.
3- Power plugs into unit, not mount - a pain
4- Tried to route me on a street that didn't exist.
5- Routed me on a street that dead ended, which would not allow me to get to destination.
6- Does not have my local airport listed (Stuart, Florida).
7- Screen washed out in the sunlight - Garmin considerably brighter and sharper.
8- Map details lacking. Had a lot of POI's, but of little use as could not use the icons to navigate to them.
9- TomTom shows turn arrow and highway number, but not name of highway you are going to turn on. Garmin does.
10- Blackberry 8800 would not connect using Bluetooth.
11- Home Connect software installed ok, but TomTom would not connect using the Home Connect software.
12- Has fairly short battery life compared to Garmin.
13- Traffic not included and traffic option requires separate cable that plugs into bottom of unit - a pain.
14- Need a hospital in a hurry? You are out of luck because under "hospitals", the TomTom lists every clinic known to man. It does not identify true hospitals, a major issue in an emergency. The Garmin only lists hospitals.
15- TTS very poor compared to Garmin.
What did I like about the TomTom?
- It has a QWERTY keyboard - the Garmin does not.
- It allows you to display a lot of data on the screen.
Why should you steer clear of the TomTom?
- Very poor screen in sunlight - almost could not read.
- Routing could be a big issue.
- Hospital issue - a major issue to most of us.
Before you buy, try them both side by side in your car. You will be amazed at the difference in the displays.
