I purchased the Totom Go 720 for a Christmas Present. We have used one before and found it to be a very good unit. We still like the unit. It is easy to use and works as well as, if not better than the Garmins we have used. This particular model, though, is flawed.
There are a very limited number of cell phones that it is compatible with. It would not link properly with either of our phones and we could never download our address book to the unit. All right, not that big a deal.
However, the voice is all but unintelligible, especially with the blue tooth. The voice is garbled and full of static and can not be used. The spoken directions are only a little better and usually have to be turned off because they are so annoying.
Tomtom is reportedly "working on the problem". They told us to wait for a new patch to come out that would fix the problem. Why they sold a unit that didn't work in the first place is beyond me to understand. However, even with the new patch, just issued a month and a half later, the speech still does not work. Tomtom now says to wait another three weeks for the next patch. "Maybe" that one will work.
No thanks. I'm returning the unit. If I still can.
DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT UNTIL THE SPEECH IS FIXED!!Get more detail about TomTom GO 720 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator.
