tom tom go 700 is really helpful to me and its easy to use , bluetooth really working nice.
 Lousy piece January 7, 2007
This is junk. The unit is pretty neat, very sturdy and the interface is user friendly. But the software is lousy. It just cant figure out the jughandles in NJ (which my new Garmin does). I get totally lost with this all the time.
Junk Junk. . . can you rerout this device to the garbage? January 6, 2007

Same as D. Abrahams' review, no US maps only Europe and Canary Is. maps. Called tech support and they had to forward the call to "special support" which is secret code for "we will never call you back." "There is no way to download maps from the internet" But I could have purchased a 90 update dvd (available in 4 weeks). I Waited for 1 week and decided that TomTom will never receive another penny from me. Returned the device as it is junk. One star is definitely too much.

What a waste of time and money!! The TomTom customer support is horrible. They loaded European and Canary Islands maps on a GPS unit that was supposed to have maps of the US and Canada. Then, TomTom support said I would have to purchase the maps for an additional $90!
Not worth it!! Look at the Garmin Nuvi instead.

I have the TomTom Go 700 and I'm fed up with it. It has embarrassed me repeatedly and steered me wrong far too many times. From the time in Tennessee when my family followed me through a GRAVEYARD to get to a location that was easily accessible via main roads, to the recent time when I had a list of photography shops in Brevard County, Florida and went to type in one of the shops in Cocoa Beach and the TomTom Go 700 did not have Cocoa Beach in its database.
Well, since I bought this a year ago, I have quite a bit more than the current $350 invested in this unit, so I decided that maybe I could improve things by downloading the new maps.
Wow, what a mess. This took some time, cost me 80 EUROS (over $100 at current exchange rates) and left me with some confusion, as the maps are named differently now and it did not delete the old maps before installing the new ones. I did this manually and hope I did it correctly. Now considering that the TomTom Go 700 connects via USB to your computer and TomTom is accessing your GPS directly, it seems they could automate this better.
Further, according to the only TomTom forum I could find, there is an update available for $49.50 US until March, yet I was charged the $100+ price.
Meanwhile, my brother bought a Garmin Street Pilot for his girlfriend this Christmas and I played with it a fair bit. My next GPS will not be a TomTom.
Finally, you should know that the TomTom is the best selling GPS system IN EUROPE. You can tell this the moment you begin to try to update, or get support on your TomTom GPS. Everything about it is European-centric. From pricing of products, to suggested maps when you log in to the TomTom Home update software (it suggested the Western Europe software as what I NEEDED for an update, in spite of the fact that I purchased the unit in the US, and had US maps installed.)
I'm just not satisfied with this product. It has been useful from time to time, but I cannot trust it with a high enough degree of faith to recommend it to anyone else.
