Tomtom Go 720

The most frequent complaint I receive about GPS devices from readers is that it's difficult, if not impossible, to update a GPS product's maps. There's no doubt that for the two map data providers, Navteq and Tele Atlas, keeping maps and POIs (points...

4.3-inch widescreen. Text to speech. Multisegment routing. Map Share community-based map and POI updates. Nimble-feeling menu. Good MP3 player

Limited cell-phone support. TomTom Plus services are not compatible with Sprint or Verizon

The TomTom GO 720 boasts a host of premium GPS features at a pretty good price. It's especially nice if you've got a phone with a data plan on AT&T/Cingular or T-Mobile that supports the GO 720's extra abilities.

TomTom GO 720

Portable navigation systems are a dime a dozen these days. A lot of the models offer many of the same functions, such as text- and voice-guided turn-by-turn directions and millions of points of interest, and they're all beginning to look alike with...

The TomTom GO 720 includes new features that give you access to up-to-date maps and safety information in case of emergencies. The sleek 720 also offers text-to-speech functionality, integrated Bluetooth, and multimedia capabilities.

The GO 720 is only compatible with a small number of Bluetooth-enabled phones, and there are no external volume controls.

The TomTom GO 720 delivers with sleek looks, good performance, and a full set of features that includes a map-sharing function for the most up-to-date maps and a helpful safety tool.

TomTom GO 720 Portable Car Navigation System Review

The TomTom GO 720 is a complete portable car navigation system that comes with everything you need, and is ready to go right out of the box. I have tried several units over the past year, and the TomTom ranks very high on my list of must-have GPS...

Big, bright touchscreen ; Accurate maps ; Great software for updates & add-ons

A few small interface quirks, such as canceling a route

I had a great experience with the TomTom GO720. It takes about 2 hours to fully charge the internal battery, and on our full day of travel, we easily got 6-8 hours of continuous use before having to use the car adapter. The software is multi-platform...

TomTom GO 720 GPS Review

GPS units are becoming very popular with drivers who commute on a daily basis. We've been testing the TomTom GO 720 unit over the past month and it's an excellent choice. Here's what we had to say.

Large 4.3" touchscreen ; Bluetooth connectivity ; Multimedia playback functionality ; Built-in FM transmitter ; TomTom Map Share technology allows users to update maps

No external volume control ; Some services cost extra ; All services don't work with all mobile phones

Overall, the TomTom GO 720 is a great alternative to the Magellan Maestro 4040 we reviewed in July of 2007. It is $50 cheaper at $449.95 and has better battery life but it has the media playback capabilites that the Magellan doesn't have. The Magellan...
