Tomtom GO 720 review

go-720-01.jpg
The new TomTom GO 720 has one of its first reviews out already and it looks like it received really good grades in all departments.

In addition to the hands-free calling, the Bluetooth connection is also used for data, including downloading traffic updates. This was supremely easy to set up, particularly compared with most Bluetooth devices. However, it downloads data using the mobile, so make sure your talk plan includes a suitable data allowance. The Go 720T, which is £40 more expensive, includes TMC traffic updates, which are sent using standard radio waves, so it doesn’t need to use a mobile phone.

GO 720 is going to be an high-end device including features such as real time traffic updates, bluetooth, a large 4.3″ screen, voice recording capability and of course the Map Share Technology which is mentioned above.

The retail price of GO 720 is £340 ($690) in England. However if you cross the Atlantic you can get the 720 for only $500 in the U.S.

    I want to see the Map Share feature in action!


  12. Poor Bastard Says:

    I talked to a rep of tomtom the other day and he was excited about the mapshare. Maybe because he is being paid by them or it is genuinlly that good. We will see. $500 is still a bit much considering how cheap these things are being made nowadays. I think maybe its worth $350. Hold out and wait, im sure there are going to be better and cheaper units on the way.
