Good Points
Accuracy, color screens, clear directions
Bad Points
Screen fade with bright sun, will lose satelite in areas with tall buildings
General Comments
I have owned the Tomtom 700 for almost a year and love it! I've toured all over Germany, Nice, Venice and Ireland and don't know how I travelled without it. When there's a stau, I just jump off the autobahn and reroute avoiding motorways. It's AWESOME! There is a new shade you can purchase on ebay for about $15 that dramatically helps screen fade when driving in bright sun. Just recently purchased speed cameras from the tomtom site and it's already saved me (ticket expenses) what it cost..about $40/year. Would also recommend external antenna for areas with tall buildings although I haven't had many problems in this area...may be buildings are shorter in Europe :-)
