Reviews on Tomtom GO 720 Automobile Navigator
Tom Tom Go 720
Strengths: Text to voice very clear & precise; animation and display clear; fast route calculation, very portable.
Weakness: Battery life not even close to advertised 5 hours. Actual time is about 45 min.max. Screen washes out under bright sunlight. Bluetooth volume inadequate.
This is my first GPS system, although I have seen and been in cars with others who have built-ins and portables, and am fairly knowledgable about the devices in general. On the whole, it is a pretty decent unit, and I find most of the positive comments put forward by the reviewers here to be correct, however I have several major issues with this product,which taken together, cause me to feel that...
Great Hardware - But You Cannot Install Additional...
Strengths: Quality evolution of the hardware, improved user interface.
Weakness: Incompatibility with downloadable maps, continued poor TomTom customer service, Home software interface still needs improvement
It is important to note that TomTom has NOT yet released additional Maps for the 720. So, if you plan to purchase your 720 and download Maps from TomTom (or elsewhere) for your trip to Europe, you are out of luck. Be aware that TomTom has been promising that they would update their website to resolve this issue since early September. Before you buy, be aware that you cannot install additional...
Major Upgrade
Strengths: Wide screen, hard drive space, mapshare
Weakness: nothing as of yet
I really have to say, as a previous tomtom one user, this is a major upgrade on that. Love the wider screen, love the extra space for music, and ive already used the mapshare feature a few times, and it works great. Wonderful product.
One of the best full featured 4.3" Car GPS for the...
Strengths: Mapshare (correctable maps, POI, etc), "Help Me" feature, text to speech (says street names), fast satellite fix and route recalcs
Weakness: voice command feature not enabled on US version, some popular POIs missing
I was about to buy the Mio c520 (also with wide 4.3" lcd) when I saw this TomTom Go 720T. After reading the specs and reviews and playing with it at the store, I was immediately hooked! It costs about $150 more than the Mio ($300 vs $450 on sale). But I can justify - and wouldn't mind the extra cost with the cool features. I mention one of the cons was that the voice command feature is not...
Excellent GPS!
Strengths: ability to correct map errors! Way more features than Garmin!
Weakness: Graphics a bit jagged compared to Garmin, but still excellent.
Ive used this for a week and compared to my Nuvi 660, I find it better at giving instructions early and repeats it to make sure you made the right turn. Also if you miss your turn, it auto recalculates faster than any other GPS I have used, no hourglass and waiting if you have tried the Magellan. This device has way more options than any GPS I have seen. Map share is a plus to get up to date maps...
TomTom 720
Strengths: Ultra Fast! reroutes faster than any other GPS on the Market. Scrolls through maps without the screen pausing. Fast satellite acquisition! Mapshare and ability to make corrections to the map.
Weakness: Some Points of Interest removed from database compared to older tomtom models. Button to stop the current navigation hidden several screens away.
Extremely fast at rerouting, acquiring satellites, and scrolling through maps. This simply blows away my garmin 360 when it comes to speed. I placed both side by side to see how well they perform. I find the Tomtom better at navigation than the garmin, it gives better early warning when coming up to a turn and slightly better instructions. My garmin has the bad habit of telling me to turn when Im...
Tomtom GO 720 GPS
Strengths: Wider screen, fast route/rerouting calculation, thinner form factor.
Weakness: Still unable to connect to my Treo 650 using bluetooth, can not alpha search POI's.
I've been a previous user of Tomtom GPS units & they were always bulky in design. Slimming down the 720 really made a difference in the look & feel of the unit. Good battery life. I'm disappointed because you still can not alpha search POI's . You can only do it by going thru menus & searching by categories. It also doesn't save the address of your favorites.
New GO 720!
Strengths: Map Share, long battery life, "Help Me" feature, built in FM transmitter
Weakness: none
This is a great device with several new features. Obviously the Map Share feature is revolutionary and will change the way GPS devices are made form here on out. I also think the "Help Me" feature was a great idea and allows you to find important information quickly in emergency situations. TomTom extended the battery life and the 720 can hold a charge for up to 5 hours which is a huge...
Tom Tom 720 Map Issues
Strengths: Slim Design, Excellent Recalculation time, Map Share
Weakness: POI's are wrong, House numbers are in wrong locations, Missing voice recognition in USA model, Poor customer service. Traffic service requires Blue Tooth compatible phone with Data transfer enabled.
This unit is a decent unit. It was released prematurely though. The North America map is a mess. A lot of points of interest are in the wrong locations some with wrong addresses others just placed wrong on the map. Street House #'s not even close to where they should be in many cases. I have to look up the address of the place I'm going on the internet before I plug it into the Tom Tom fearing...

Useful Device
Strengths: Accurate, Up-to-date maps, FM transmitter, acquires signal quickly
Weakness: mount, doesn't show remaining battery life on front screen
I've used this device for some time and never had a problem with it. It is always accurate and gets me where I need to go. I found the maps to be up to date and there are tons of POIs which I use frequently. This device acquires a satellite signal quicker than any other GPS I've used. The most unique feature has to be the FM transmitter which allows you to play the audio directions from the...
