 Tomtom 720 April 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Many good features however, I bought the TOMTOM partly because of the bluetooth connection. The bluetooth is of poor quality and I rarely use it because of complaints from call recipients. The ETA is completely useless as it consistently predicts about 40% longer than actual travel time. Other features are great and I have downloaded some MP3 audio broadcasts [...] and they work well. The FM transmitter works really well. If you don't need the bluetooth or the ETA it would rate a 5star rating
 I Love It!! April 6, 2008
This is the best thing since sliced bread, no wait, it's even better than sliced bread! I don't know how I ever functioned without it. I have taken this thing all over the place and TomTom has never been confused. I love the way it re-calculates the route if you miss a turn. It will go seamlessly right around roadblock construction. Long story short...You have got to get one of these, even if you don't think you travel enough. And the price is great, too!
Great GPS unit April 2, 2008
Delivery wasn't early but was on time, packaged well and received in good condition. The TomTom is great. I love the 720. It is easy to read, bright enough, flexible and easy to program. To manage glare or reflections I use the padded dash mount that also makes the entire unit transportable to other vehicles. The arrival estimates are very good. They are accurate enough for planning for sure even though I leave a few minutes to spare for traffic, speed, etc.. Two software recommendations; The unit should hold the final trip info on the screen after you reach the destination, and the capability to selectively delete previous destinations rather than just the complete list. More important, I corrupted my database and had to restore maps to the corrupted environment. The TomTom Customer Service technical assistance was nothing short of fantastic. The technicians were available without long waits, they were patient, and their system of reference numbers made it easy to get back to the problem when you dropped contact to do something lengthy like a load, etc.. I must have engaged 3 or 4 different technicians and they didn't miss a beat when I was ready for more assistance. I highly recommend the TomTom 720 and the

Not so good for Puerto Rico Trips March 27, 2008
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I got this GPS to take on a trip to Puerto Rico, & to my sorrow, TomTom has poorly equipped this thing for a trip to Puerto Rico! Its VERY poor at accepting the odd addressing used in Puerto Rico. Making Searching for things a major pain even when you have the address! Another problem is that there are no points of interest for Puerto Rico in this thing at all! not a single airport, gas station, restaurant, McDonalds, is listed in this unit!! nothing! Zero!! So if your going to buy this for a Puerto Rico trip, then its best to look elsewhere, because with this GPS, you are going to have to make your own Landmarks for things as you go along. Hopefully enough people will email tomtom & complain about this so they do something about it. Heres to hope!
Great unit, easy to set up and use March 25, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I pulled my Tom Tom out of the box, charged it for the required 2 hours and then started playing with it around the house. It proved super easy to program and I liked that I could see the instructions to my destination in text as well as the normal map view. Then I used it to get to a destination 45 minutes away that I was pretty sure I knew how to get to, but just wanted to be sure and it worked beautifully.
Like any good GPS it re-mapped my route as I detoured to get gas, and the voice instructions were really excellent providing plenty of time to change lanes on the high way for upcoming exits. I liked the large screen display, which is easy to follow (although I generally ignored it as the voice instructions were so good). It asked for when I needed to get to my appointment and navigated me the most direct route (given current gas prices this is critical).
Why not 5 stars? I wish it had a plug in for when I'm home (comes with computer USB plug in and car charger), but I'm guessing I can buy one if I get really annoyed. Also, I wish the volume was louder, I had to keep the radio nearly off to hear the voice. I do recommend purchasing a separate mounting pad (like a non-skid bean bag) to ensure you don't have the tell-tale suction cup mark on your windshield, a sign to potential thieves to break into your car to look for your GPS unit.
