Summary: HUGE FLAW!
Comment: there is one HUGE problem.... When putting in the navigation info, you had best know the city... I often know a street address in the suburb of a major city but not the town name.. gee whiz, the people that live in those suburbs themselves don't know the obscure town name.... but the 720 won't let you get past the city query to put in the street address until you say what the city it... well... I know it is baltimore...but who knows if it is owings mills, glyndon, lutherville or cockysville.
this is a HORRIBLE design problem.. I will have to send my unit back. too bad..I like everything else about it.....

Summary: Tom Tom is Great Great
Comment: Managing an office staff with a fleet vehicles, everyone in my group has a GPS. We originally purchased the Garmin IQue 3600, buat it was time for an upgrade. We purchased a Garmin Nuvi and a Tom Tom Go 720 for comparison purposes since they were both the same price. The Tom Tom Go 720 was our favorite for many reasons. First, the Tom Tom is more of a traveller's unit. The features fit what we needed to do the most. Second, the Tom Tom has an online update feature. The Tom Tom can remember personal changes to the map and even update itself when connected to the internet. Finally, the Tom Tom computer software and interface is a dream and virtually non-existant on the Garmin. Overall, we purchased 10 Tom Tom Go 720 Units and everyone is very happy. I still have one person who is sticking with the Garmin Nuvi.

Summary: No more SPEEDING TICKETS!!
Comment: When I updated my TomTom, it also had a new feature that does away with speeding tickets! How you ask? Well, those three dings just happens to warn you that you are exceeding the posted speed limit! Sometimes my high heels turn into leaded feet so this enhancement has saved me enough money to keep me in Manolo Blatnik's...

Summary: Highly disappointing -- consistently weird routing
Comment: The TomTom 720 a beautiful machine with a lot of cool features. But the routing is dreadful so often that we have to bring maps along -- which kind of defeats the purpose of a GPS.
Our older, cheaper, slower, not-very-beautiful Garmin is MUCH more reliable.
We live in Eastern Pa. and do most of our driving here. The road network is very old and established so it is not a matter of out of date maps. It's just the TomTom's routing algorithm. If we're not paying attention, the TomTom will take us 20 miles out of our way -- and these are repeat incidents so I know it's machine error, not user error. Even in our neighborhood, sometimes it inexplicably has us go in completely the wrong direction and takes wildly circuitous routes.
If you know where you're going, and you're just using the TomTom for the last 1/4 mile, the neighborhood streets, this machine can't do you much harm. But for longer trips I just can't trust it. Extremely disappointing for a $300 machine -- and the more we use it the more we dislike it.
I think our $300 TomTom is going to get replaced by a $100 MIO pretty soon.

Summary: Don't buy TomTom
Comment: I have had MANY problems, first with the 520GO, which I had to send back, then they sent me another new 520, which I ALSO had to send back and now they gave me a 720 and it is sitting here, and it does not work. I have spent many many hours with their tech support online and by phone- they are totally incompetent. I have no idea how they stay in business. I have asked for a refund and they just say "We do not give refunds". DO NOT BUY A TOMTOM!!!
