Go down the roster of top-of-the-line GPS features, and the TomTom Go 720 has them all covered: text-to-speech pronunciation of street names; the ability to play audio files from an SD Card through your car's stereo; and clear, colorful 3D maps displayed on a big screen. About the only thing missing is the high-end price--the Go 720 retails for $500. That's less than the cost of comparable devices, such as the $675 Garmin Nuvi 680.

Duration of ownership: 2 Months
Strengths: Good Maps, User Interface, Beacoup Features, Mount Good, MapShare, Quite Customizable
Weaknesses:Battery Level Hidden, Mac Home application is still a work-in-progress.
Overall Evaluation: I join the pro-GO 720 reviews, and find the unit to be very good at what it does. Was affordable and the mount is very good despite other's experiences. Also find support to be very good and my experience with them as been a positive in all respects. The MapShare ability is great and so far very accurate. Easily paired with my Motorola V3 and have found it altogether a joy. Does much more than just get me from here to there, and I heartily recommend this product. Hasn't steered me wrong even once.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Bright large displayEasy programmingExcellent directionsExcellent update engineNew s/w feature includes faster startup acquisition
Weaknesses:Computer Software interface is Windows functional, not Windows application. e.g. Capital letter shift key has to be moused, not shift on keyboard.Different order of address entry.Bluetooth below
Overall Evaluation: I have used this unit on the west coast and the east coast. It acquired it's (new) location much faster than prior GPS's I have used. Normal startup in same location was very fast. The address sequence is different (State, City, Street, House number). You can change the display from street ##### to ##### street, but the entry order stays the same. I am already adjusting my internal process to get use to it. I have found several areas of the map that is wrong (turn down one way street, streets were moved 10 years ago, etc). It has a method of reporting these errors, I need to not be in a hurry next time and try out the error report. Users can upload corrections to TomTom for us to download. Bottom line - Excellent unit. Bluetooth capability - Very small selection of phones. My phone is not included e.g. only 2 LG phones are supported.

Strengths: Accurate, Up-to-date maps, FM transmitter, acquires signal quickly
Weaknesses:mount, doesn't show remaining battery life on front screen
Overall Evaluation: 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 device through your car speakers. Very cool! I would definitely recommend this device to a friend.
