Tom Tom Go 720 Review

“Seen a few negatives and past experience with Tom Tom...”

Written on: 03/12/2007

Good Points
Worked straight out of the box, good PC interface which worked well for me anyway

Bad Points
It works well, maybe only 1 year warranty now instead of the two before.

General Comments
Seen a few negatives and past experience with Tom Tom made me nervous but my Tom Tom Go 720 arrived and with some trepidation I linked it to my PC to update and it was seamless, worked a treat. Couldn't download the latest map under their "guarantee" but hopefully Tomtom will sort me out.
In the car all worked well, the windscreen holder people talk about is fine, small neat and it works well, not half so bulky as the last one.
Hands free worked ok as did the music through the speakers, OK you have to turn your radio up but its fine. I can't fault it and I'm pleased with my purchase.
Although the Tom Tom website help looks great there are a number of relevant questions not answered so you have to go through their process and email and keep your fingers crossed they reply and to dat they have.
Only 1 year warranty now, used to be two so lets hope its robust. Paid £256 via The Link with free next day, I'm sure it will drop now I've bought one. Go ahead and buy one..it works.
