Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of TomTom GO 720 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator
Customer Review: Great tool for the road!
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like the TomTom 720. An advantage over the XL is that is gives street names (if you choose a computer voice) when telling you where to turn. Like any GPS, it is a tool, not the gospel, so use common sense if something doesn't seem right. TomTom's are relatively easy to use compared to other units I've seen. There are a lot of layers to go through sometimes to get to the screen you want for changes, but once you've done it a few times you learn your way around. I haven't been able to use the bluetooth capability yet because it is not compatible with my phone. It's a little tricky getting the unit attached to the windshield mount, but again, this becomes easier with practice.TomTom GO 720 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS NavigatorCustomer Review: Love it!!

This is my very first GPS and I couldn't be happier (except maybe if they had a cool screensaver for the starting up and shutting down features!:) ). It has not gotten us lost, though I have noticed one time where it told me that the house I was supposed to go to was closer than it actually was (I believe the house numbers changed recently so)
Overall I love this product. It does have it's pros and cons:
Pros:
QUICK rerouting!
Clear Screen
Startup and Go- literally, it took nothing to start using this product
Points of Interest come in really handy!
My better half doesn't have to stop and ask directions (HAHA)
Cons:
Battery Life seems short- keep the car charger handy!
In the sun, the screen is a little hard to see
House numbers need updating! :)

I am going to concentrate on the little things in my review since my tomtom go 720 did it's main job (navigation) perfectly. The FM transmitter worked great for me. The sound was clear and loud, and the tomtom automatically paused the music off my SD card whenever giving instructions. The SD card worked from the moment i plugged it in, though you have to remember to place your music in a folder called mp3 or else your tomtom won't know where to look. The computer voice read most street names well, and i had lots of fun letting eric cartman give me the directions!
people often say that garmins are easier to use, but i definitely prefer my tomtom. the menu might be a little more involved, but with so many extra features it needs to be.
I am thoroughly satisfied with my purchase, and will definitely stay with tomtom.

Managing an office staff with a fleet vehicles, everyone in my group has a GPS. We originally purchased the Garmin IQue 3600, buat it was time for an upgrade. We purchased a Garmin Nuvi and a Tom Tom Go 720 for comparison purposes since they were both the same price. The Tom Tom Go 720 was our favorite for many reasons. First, the Tom Tom is more of a traveller's unit. The features fit what we needed to do the most. Second, the Tom Tom has an online update feature. The Tom Tom can remember personal changes to the map and even update itself when connected to the internet. Finally, the Tom Tom computer software and interface is a dream and virtually non-existant on the Garmin. Overall, we purchased 10 Tom Tom Go 720 Units and everyone is very happy. I still have one person who is sticking with the Garmin Nuvi.Customer Review: Fantastic Device!!!

I've been using the GO 720 for a while now and think its great! There are so many features on this device which make it one of the best units I've ever used. One of my favorites is the built in FM transmitter which lets me listen to MP3s through my car speakers. I was surprised how well this worked. I also like how you can move the information bar from the bottom of the screen to the side. Call me picky, but I like how the map looks in this view. Inputing directions is very easy and the audio directions are very clear and easy to follow. The 720 comes with the latest maps and I've found them to be extremely accurate. It always gets me where I need to go. The Map Share and Help me features are also great features. I haven't had the chance to use the Bluetooth yet, but thats next on my list...
