Tom Tom Go 730

I had an old TOMTOM ONE and it was pretty good but I could not fit a map of OZ on it as thats where we were off on holiday.

So I bought a TOMTOM GO 730.

Bought and downloaded the OZ map and it worked ok during the holiday. Then we put it away when we got back home as we still was using the old one. Anyway the old one kicked the bucket so I got the NEW ONE out (ok it was 13 mths old now but was only used for 4 weeks).

Now it just skips to random screens usually ending up at the location for the police station. (I'm not a crook!). Anyway I'm well peeved off as the warranty has now ended..............ARGHHHHHHH.

My brother-in-law purchased the Tomtom 730 unit as a present for my sister and we love it. We were fans of its competitors but decided to give the Tomtom a try since according to most reviews it gives you a detailed instructions and shortest way to travel, saving both fuel and time.

We like the Voices which are good and the routing is excellent with its wonderful Bluetooth feature.

This is a highly recommended gadgets of all time, it will guide you to a right destinations.

My tomtom Go worked perfectly for 18 months. I took up an offer to download the latest safety cameras at half price.

My tomtom went bonkers. When I tried to operate the device it would only take me to the doctor, the dentist, the police station or to Portugal.

I contacted Tomtom and they said they would repair it for £91 and a few pence. I believe it was too much of a coincidence for my tomtom to fail just as I downloaded an upgrade. I won't be buying another Tomtom. I notice the review pages are full of complaints about Tomtom. They are beginning to lose it.

Bought this unit 2 years ago to replace a Garmin Sat Nav. I am very disappointed from quality of the screen - Garmin is much better than this one as its screen is very bright and hence no problems with direct sunlight, Battery is dead now and this unit has been used only couple of times a week...,Unit got stuck several time and required a restart - which deleted all the favourites, internal memory is useless - no more than 20 favourites could be saved, customer service is a joke - this was my first and last Tomtom - awful unit and awful company

Great product....... when it works.

Bought via Halfords online

1st one did not work out of the box.

Returned to Halfords and replaced by Halfords.

2nd one stopped working after about a couple of months.

Returned to Halfords and replaced by Halfords.

3rd one lasted exactly 13 months, so one month after the warrently ran out. Took it to Halfords who have confirmed most of the ones they sell come back within the year. As the resident TomTom expert recognised me from me earlier visits They are going to see if they can get TomTom to provide either a replacement or an upgrade.

Great service from Halfords ! Shame about the product

The TOM TOM go730 that i bought about a year ago now, has no let me down, there was an issue with the screens scrolling throuh one another on there own, however this was my fault due to not cover the screen and dust and grime in the sides, once cleaned unit works perfectly, also Yes this unit can have restrictions for HGV and LGV PCV drivers for free using the tom tom home service and adding point of interests, selecting uk and scrolling through.

Not worth the price, full stop. Freezes often, after 2 years stopped working, replaced the battery to no avail. Buy something else!

I like my Tom Tom, but who on Earth instigated the new messages that warn you to drive safely? There's one that pops up just after you have pushed "done" on the offered route - your eyes go to the road, and then you notice that Tom Tom has gone back to needing the safety message clicked off, so you look back at the Tom Tom - at EXACTLY THE MOMENT YOU NEED TO BE CONCENTRATING ON NEARBY TRAFFIC.

That's the most unsafe message I have ever encountered. They need to get rid of it.

Purchased 730 8 months ago and unit would not turn on. Had to send it in under warranty and pay shipping myself, some warranty... Repaired unit I got back 3 month ago now has a mind of its own scrolling through screens without being touched. The 730 is now unusable and customer support has now run out. I would not recommend this unit.

this is the 3rd 730. cannot get the maps to update. every time only a part of the map loads. the tech people are no help. you can buy updated maps of the us only if you live in another country. the cards are not avaliable in the us.when it works,which is very little,the maps are not correct. they keep saying its my comp,or my internet connection. went to best buy had there geeks try. they couldnt load the maps, said tom tom download is screwed up. lost all maps again... dont buy a tom tom they dont stand behind there products.....very unhappy
