 Kay June 16, 2008
I purchased the TomTom 720 at the last minute and paid for expedited shipping. The respose from Amazon was the it would arrive in 3 to 5 working days after the purchase. The 3 day time was OK, but the 5 was too late for a trip I was taking. I called the company phone number, and they indicated it had been shipped. They e-mailed the UPS tracking number (through Amazon) to me. I was able to determine that it would arrive in time for my trip. It actually arrived in 2 working days after the purchase. I am very happy with the GPS as well as the company that handled the purchase.TomTom GO 720 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator
inlaws trip June 9, 2008
Kept the inlaws together with the TOM TOM. Not being lost on a long trip kept things on an even keel. Smiles all around when they returned.
THANKS TOM TOM

Go 720 with bells and whistles June 4, 2008
Good choice for the price if you want a GPS with capability to do more things than just get you to your destination. If you have blue-tooth phone, it works well as a speaker phone. Just have to keep the power cord plugged in because the built in battery dosent produce enough juice to drive the speaker at high volume without distorting.
If you want to subscribe to the "traffic" option, you need to have your full data services hooked up with your cellular carrier. Little complicated if you have VerizonWireless, but I figured it out after doing some searching through the web support pages.
It crashed my BlackBerry 8830 a couple of times. But resetting gets everything back reletively easily. TomTom support is easy to work with when the need arises.

We bought this navigator after using one a relative owned and was happy with. The instruction manual is minimal and you have to play with the device to learn all it can do and how to do it. It has erred on several locations like libraries and post offices, but gets you close. It has an internal battery of only about 2 hours which is fine for playing with it, but you better be ready to plug it in on any longer trip or you will be on your own. It has many neat features and assorted "guide" voices and even lets you record your own voice. Map updates are free from your computer for a time after purchase. We have nothing to compare it to but are happy with the price we found and the performance of the unit after several months of use. On a scale of 1 to 10 I rate it a solid 8.
Great Product - Not so great fuel prices service May 25, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
The TomTom 720 is a great product. My wife and I find it very easy to use and have never had a problem getting to our destinations. It picks up the GPS signals fast and even in areas where there are large obstructions like in cities.
Even though we think this is a top notch product, I want to give other TomTom 720 users a heads-up regarding TomTom's new fuel prices service that just became available for the TomTom 720 in the United States.
I signed up for TomTom fuel prices at a cost of $14.95 per year. We downloaded the most up-to-date fuel prices from TomTom Home and went on a 45 min road trip to a local lake. We stopped at two gas stations that TomTom reported as the lowest price along the route. One was a Citgo station that TomTom reported was selling regular gasoline for $3.52 a gallon, which was incredible since our local Murphy gas station was going for $3.72. When we arrived at the Citgo, it was actually $3.79 - 27 cents more than TomTom stated! Also, it wasn't even the cheapest. We saw an Exxon priced at $3.71 as we were driving along the highway. We gave it another shot and we ended up at a RaceWay that TomTom stated was going to be $3.60. It was $3.74. Even when you download the latest fuel prices they appear to be days old. With a service like fuel prices, anything older than 6 hours should be considered stale data. The TomTom fuel prices service does not scan and report the gas station prices anywhere near fast enough to allow for proper functioning. Although this concept is a great idea, I would not recommend this service at this time.
