 Tom Tom Go GPS October 30, 2007
4 out of 8 found this review helpful
I owned the Tom Tom One and liked the ease of use but wanted the street name call out feature. The Tom Tom Go is everything it is advertised to be. Large base of POI'S is very helpful. I have the Garmin e-trex for hand held but opted fpr the Tom Tom for auto use.
 OKay but.... October 27, 2007

I like it. it's a great quality product, very accurate... but the Bluetooth connection is very poor, nobody can here me. The over FM radio transmitter is really useless, the sound qualiy is just poor.

BEFORE PURCHASING THIS TOM TOM, I HAD A VERY OLD GARMIN (THAT I NOW WISH I HAD KEPT)I HAVE MADE AN EXTENSIVE RESEARCH FOR MY NEXT GPS. I WAS IMPRESSED BY THE MULTIPLE OPTIONS THAT THIS TOM TOM HAS, AMONG THE BEST WERE THE LIVE TRAFFIC, ADDRESS BOOK FROM YOUR CELL, INTEGRATED BLUETOOTH, AND MANY MORE AS YOU ALL KNOW.OK NOTHING LIKE THAT;
1)LIVE TRAFFIC IS NOT WORKING AT TALL IN MOST PHONES
2)SAME THING TO IMPORT YOUR ADDRESS BOOK, NOT HAPPENING. YOU CANT EVEN MANUALLY CREATE AN ADDRESS BOOK.
3)NOW THE BIG ISSUE!! THE AUDIO OF THE BLUETOOTH IS TERRBIBLE. I HAVE CALLED AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE THE AUDIO OF THE DIRECTIONS IS PEREFCTLY LOUD AND CLEAR, SO IT IS NOT A SPEAKER PROBLEM. THEY HAVE SAID THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE ON SOME NUMBER OF 720, BUT BECAUSE THE ITEM IS AFTER 30DAYS (ACTUALLY 45) THEY WILL REPLACE MINE WITH A REFURBISHED ONE!!!!!!!
IN OTHER WORDS, TOM TOM DOESNT STAY BEHIND THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. TERRBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND TERRIBLE PRODUCT. IF YOU DIDNT BUY IT YET DONT!!!! GO WITH GARMIN. THE BEST

I love the Tele Atlas Maps that the 720 uses--The POI coverage is impressive, and i just read that they have over 24 million of them. I didn't even know there were 24 million points of interest, period. TT makes it really easy to entering addresses according to state,and the screen is large and able to be fully customized. I also love the fact that it provides the text-to-speech option.
Simply the best! October 15, 2007

So I've recently been in search of a replacement for my old Garmin c330 (which was a great entry level unit in itself), and I've finally landed on something I'm in love with - the TomTom 720. I originally bought the Navigon 7100, and all I can say about that thing is STAY AWAY!
PROS...
- The unit itself is compact and sleek, but has a massive widescreen. The mount is simple yet ingenious and the sturdiest I've seen.
- Sound is exceptionally loud and clear - and you are given several options for how to hear the unit (through the internal speaker, built in FM transmitter to your car stereo, or through the AUX output). The unit comes preloaded with several voices... sounds like just an added gimmick, but nobody likes a bitchy voice that many GPS units come with - now you can choose from several already in the unit, or download them from the internet pretty easily. Text to speech engine is pretty good on pronounciations from what I've heard so far.
- The menus are easy to navigate and pretty intuitive. The buttons are large and need only a gentle touch, the touchscreen is very responsive. The device is very highly customizable - down to being able to choose what elements are on the navigation screen or appear on the quick menus.
- MapShare is AWESOME... TomTom is really the only manufacturer that has stepped up to the plate and acknowledged the dynamic nature of the roads we all drive on. Two new rotaries have opened near my home in the past month, and I've been able to update my own maps in a matter of seconds to reflect the new traffic patterns, and broadcast the changes via MapShare. Very cool!
- When looking at a route, the refresh rate on the screen is WAY, WAY quicker than any other unit i've seen - meaning the map moves in a much more fluid manner than the garmin units i've seen, which more closely resemble a very quick slideshow. Purely aesthetic, no doubt, but it's worth nothing.
- Connecting the device to your computer is easy - the software interface is GREAT - very easy to use. (I run MacOS.)
CONS...
I have only a couple of grievances, and they are minor. One is that the unit is customizable to the point that you can easily hide main operating buttons, like the "cancel route" button, which is in kind of an akward place and is hidden by default. In addition to this quirk, I can't seem to find the full manual on the TomTom website.
All in all, a GREAT unit - i've seen many and this is the best. I LOVE IT!
