Advantages: Simple to use, compact, good PC interface
Disadvantages: None I can think of so far, could have had a case I suppose

...Seen a few negatives ie.WOLFIE665 review below and past experience with Tomtom made me nervous, but my TomTom 720T arrived and with some trepidation I linked it to my PC to update and it was seamless, worked a treat. Couldnt download the latest European map 7.10 as I had 7.5 under their "latest map guarantee" but hopefully Tomtom will sort me out. Bought a carry case (you need one) from Lindens Ebay for £4.99 in blue. they have black, brillant and it arrived in a flash, cannot understand why someone would pay over £19 for a leather one as this is padded, perfect. In the car all worked well, the windscreen holder some people criticise is fine, small neat and it works well, not half so bulky as the last one Hands free phone system worked ok, as did the music through the speakers, ok you have to turn your radio up, but its...

...With some trepidation as Ive dealt with TomTom in the early days I ordered up the Go 720T. Ive read a few negatives but Ive used the tomtom software for some years on my PDA (after they got it right) and so am familiar with it The 720T arrived free overnight by 1pm from "The Link" for £256 and I set it up on my PC. It linked without problems via the Tomtom Home V2.1 The only item was the map update, it said I had the latest map 7.05 when in fact the website had 7.10 map. Ive emailed Tomtom so hope they will provide me with a link under their latest map guarantee. The unit has worked well and Im pleased I made the purchase. The Traffic addition linked up but as yet I havent completed any long journeys to see if it kicks in. Didnt come with a case (you need one) so I bought a blue nylon type one at £4.99 from EBay, (Lindens... Read review

Advantages: VRT (Voice Recognition Technology), 4.3 inch widescreen & Sleek Design
Disadvantages: None

...TomTom is a trustworthy name when it comes to GPS units. I recently bought this and loved it. The TomTom GO 720T is an updated version of the GO 510 which was an amazing GPS unit itself. The TomTom GO 720T has a comfortable 4.3 inch widescreen and this unit is one of the first GPS systems to have VRT (Voice Recognition Technology). The system records your voice and gives you an answer to your vocal question of your chosen route. You can ask the TomTom to work out your route from point A to B by simply using your voice. The TomTom allows you to choose from a number of pre set voices to guide you through your journey or even your own voice. The TomTom GO 720T has a new never seen before graphics interface. The look of the maps is sleek and the buildings are in more detail. Set in the TomTom's memory is a list of speed cameras... Read review

...to about half way through and charge again. Do not let it drain. You can always use another battery but you can't change it. You have to dismantle it and to put the icing on the cake you have to solder a few bits. WHHAATTT? I hear you saying. Well tough would say TomTom or just use it with the in-car charger from then on. Nice one guys….Maybe Market Garden wasn't a good idea after all POI To put it mildly the ones that TomTom comes with are rubbish. Well apart from the free fixed cameras one which is good to have. In your face Road Angel! To the rescue…www.poihandler.com which should be itched on the skin of every Sat Nav owner: It has everything! From Museums and Village libraries to Strip Joints and Brothels (I am not kidding). Just download the ones you want and bang them into the maps folder and way you go. Most... Read review

Advantages: Neat design, good screen and comprehensive maps
Disadvantages: I'll have to buy another in a couple of years.

...TomTom 720T SatNav devices remind me a little of mobile phones in the early nineties. They are a little bit pricey, a little bit niche and until recently the preserve of gadget freaks and those who drive for a living. These days they are a lot more prolific and I can foresee a time when they will be just as ubiquitous as mobile phones and everyone with a car will have one, and no doubt more than one if they have more than one car in the house. This is my second SatNav device and I can't imagine ever not having one now. They keep getting better and I rarely consult the A - Z now except to get the broadest idea of where I'm going and how to get there. I've become accustomed to using it even for relatively short journeys to places I've been many times and have regularly been taken on routes I hadn't been aware of in the past... Read review

Advantages: fast, accurate, great support, tons of worthwhile features
Disadvantages: bit ugly and bulky

...I ended up getting the TomTom 910 as a result of a crap experience with the Navman 720. Best mistake I ever made! The TomTom was recommended to me by several people but I wentmy own way and bought the Navman 720. I like the looks of it and the inbuilt camera. I had nothing but problems. In the end, the company I bought it from offered me the pick of the GPS systems they sold - after much research I chose the 910. Whereas the Navman would take upto 3 or 4 minutes to get a full signal where we live, the 910 picks up its signal within a minute. It's ability to say road numbers and street names is very useful but using this means you can't use te many available celebrity voices. I would love to try them but like the usefulness of the computerized voice too much. Another added feature is its bluetooth interaction with your phone... Read review

...I bought the Tomtom Go 500 the week it came out. At this point Satnavs were a luxury rather than an everyday item that most cars seem to posess these days. I had decided on Tomtom based on the fact that they seems to have good reviews of their previous models and they were a lot cheaper than the competition, though at £469 I still wouldnt call it cheap. --Whats in the box -- On opening the box, once you have delved deep enough to get past the various manuals, you will come to the main tomtom unit. the mounting cradle which will fix the tomtom to your windscreen, a 256mb SD card pre installed with software and maps, a mains adaptor with British and European plugs, an in car charger, a wallet to put the tomtom in when not in use, a USB cable to connect to your PC and some screen wipes. In order to get up and running, you only... Read review

...that the free updates will take care of this. (The New TomTom Go 720 has Map share technology which enables you alter your maps – which may prove to be a very good feature to have – however currently comes at a cost). The XL comes with pre-programmed speed camera’s, this is a feature that is not present on the TomTom One. This can be updated. Come on guy’s it’s a facility that shouldn’t be needed because we all drive at the speed limit. Even if this was to be true, it is nice to have the warning come up on the screen. It counts down how far away the stationary camera is and tells you what speed you should be doing. Another ‘playful’ feature is the TomTom Buddy finder which allows you to see where your TomTom friends are. A little scary I think that they can be used in such a tracking way (just think you could spy on your boyfriend and see where... Read review

...I have had my TomTom GO 300 Sat Nav for exactly twelve months now and I wonder how I ever managed without it.

Advantages: Full featured, relaible navigation.
Disadvantages: None I can think of yet.

...Excellent piece of kit which does what it is supposed to - help with navigation. This latest offering includes voice response (which I haven't tested yet) and an FM transmitter so you can hear your instructions on the radio. The display is large and clear and the spoken directions include street names and road numbers. TomTom on line support is comprehensive and includes the ability to download predicted satellite positions to speed up acquisition time. The UK map includes the congestion charging zone in London and will navigate you around it to avoid tolls. The GPS receiver seems to be improved from the last TomTom I used, the Go 910. The latter frequently got confused when I stopped at traffic lights and kept telling me to do 180 degree turns, and one time wouldn't acquire satellites at all. The 720 has suffered... Read review
