Top-Notch User Interface and Software
The GO 720 is operated via an award-winning, intuitive user interface, and is ready to go right out of the box so as soon as you switch it on you can start using it. This navigator comes with the latest and most complete maps of the USA and Canada pre-installed for door-to-door navigation anywhere across the North American continent. Providing easy and quick access to extensive information such as building footprints and live traffic information, the unit includes multiple information options for personalization to your needs. What's more, the 720 is fully future proof, with new maps and free software upgrades available through TomTom's "Home" service so you'll never be out of date.

Simple, Easy Navigation
TomTom's GO 720 uses a 4.3-inch, extra-wide, touch-screen LCD display that features anti-glare technology for easy viewing even in direct sunlight. Realistic and clear visual instructions are provided with high-quality 3D graphics, while spoken instructions tell you where you need to go in your own language. Using the latest technology, the 720 provides you with fast and accurate positioning, with fast route calculation and automatic re-calculation so it's virtually impossible to get turned around. You can even record your own navigation instructions, for either places you know best, or for planning out trips in advance based on the recommendations of others.

The GO 720 is as safe as it is convenient, and comes with a host of safety preferences. This unit helps ensure safe and efficient driving by doubling as a hands-free kit via Bluetooth technology, which is becoming essential as more states pass laws against driving while talking into a handset. With dual microphone support and a built-in high-quality speaker your phone calls are as clear as a bell, and with convenience features such as automatic call pick-up you can truly concentrate on your driving. However, if for some reason your concentration does lapse, this device includes a selectable speeding alert to keep you from accruing expensive tickets.

Extra Features
The GO 720 is full of functionality, such as a tip feature, a customizable status bar, an extensive guided tour, and even a 'Help me!' menu, so it guides you through its usage as much as to your destination. It also features a personalized shortcut menu, 'current location icon' options, and millions of POIs (points of interest) so you can find what you need wherever you are like a lifetime local was riding shotgun. Taking navigation beyond just convenience, the 720 lets you play your music wirelessly over your vehicle's stereo system via its built-in MP3 player and FM transmitter. Now you can enjoy your music on the 720, all while seamlessly providing navigation instructions and still handling your hands-free phone calls. This amazing navigation device even provides you with a document viewer and photo viewer, so you can take your work with you or instantly download and enjoy your holiday photos wherever you go.

TomTom Plus Services
The TomTom GO 720 is compatible with TomTom Plus services that allow you to check the current weather and road conditions on your route, and get up to five-day forecasts for places your visiting. This feature also allows you to take advantage of buddies functionality, TomTom Plus traffic, and the easy download of additional voices. What's more, as a new addition to the TomTom line-up, the 720 comes with TomTom MapShare technology. TomTom Map Share technology not only lets you add to, update, and personalize your maps instantly, but also share them with others so all your family and friends know the latest changes in your area. You can also download others' changes daily as one of many online services.

TomTom's GO 720 comes complete with TomTom Home software, an internal high-quality rechargeable lithium ion battery, and the capability to share content directly between other compatible TomTom GO devices. A Bluetooth remote control is available as a separate accessory. The 720 is also backed by a manufacturer's limited warranty.

What Customers Say About TomTom GO 720 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator:

About 2 weeks ago I relied on it to get me from Chicago to Orlando and it did. I have had this GPS for about a year now and LOVE it. It has yet to fail me :) I do in home parties so I use it a lot to get to peoples houses and I have not had any problems. 1200 miles and no problems at all. Thanks TOM TOM.The only reason I am giving it a 4 star is because it was made in the UK some of the streets are spoken wrong and if I were in a completely unfamiliar area I might get confused.

I'll skip over all of the details of use and features so thoroughly covered by all of the other reviewers and confine my comments to the points of interest. The points of interest database must be wildly out of date (I have the latest maps) or extremely limited in scope because you can not rely on Tomtom to get you to much of anything when searching by name. They are abysmal. Truly awful. Example: trying to navigate to a Fedex Kinkos store in my area from a direction I don't normally come from the 720 was totally unable to find the store. I would have had to have known the street address ahead of time defeating the purpose of POIs.I've added many lists of POIs to the Tomtom hoping to improve it but no joy - it is useless to me when trying to navigate by name to a store, bank, etc.It is now headed for Ebay and I'm headed either back to Garmin or over to Magellan.

Everytime the maps were downloaded, 1hour 30 minutes on a 5 gig connection, it came up with an error message, different one each time, and failed to update the map it told me was 7 quarters out of date.I then attempted to enter a route to get from my home to my other house. I received this gps and unpacked it, read the manual, loaded the software.I spent 6 hours trying to figure out how to get, and load, the free map update. After 6 hours and 4 attempts to update the maps I gave up. What a frustrating exercise in wasted time.If you have to much time on your hands you may wish to go outside and drive a few nails through you hand, it will be just as enjoyable and useful as the time you will waste trying to make this thing useful.The manuals are crud, the company website is useless, the software is slooooow, complicated, obtuse, and useless. The box, packing materials and case are ok.

This tom tom 720 is a first class unit it will do more then I need.Great unit.

Great product. I guess people will find fault with anything if they try hard enough. The blue tooth works very well.Speech is good, yes it mispronounces Spanish street names, but so do most non Spanish speakers.

you type in an address and drive to it. I did quite a bit of research and chose this unit over garmin because of the user updates, plus all the features that in the garmins would cost a lot more money. works very well.

The pronunciation is still quite understandable, nevertheless. The points of interest are sufficient for my use. After several weeks I did not come across any geographical errors.

I read some of the complaints and I did not notice any problems. Nevertheless I recommend this product
