Good Points
Quick route planning with excellent coverage for the majority of routes I've planned in the 2 months since purchasing the unit.
The advanced lane guidance is a hoot!

Bad Points
Poor speaker quality especially when receiving calls on the bluetooth hands-free feature. The built-in FM feature to tune the unit into the cars audio system in theory sounds great, however finding a free FM channel is a pain, 87.5 Hz is probably the best bet but watchout for the pirate radio stations. Screen visibility can suffer in bright sunlight and some road names sound very odd, almost disturbing! Safety Camera feature is a partial hit but not 100% accurate.

General Comments
Overall I would recommend the TomTom 730 unit although the Traffic feature is not great so going for the 730T over the 730 is probably not worth the extra expense. Although TomTom are promising an improved system in the near future.
