Had this for about 3 weeks and like it pretty well so far. Saw a reviewer talking about not being able to get the latest map for this unit, and all I can say is he just must not have gone thru proper channels. Mine was delivered with a map that was "6 quarters old" and when I connected to HOME, it showed that I needed to BUY the latest map. I contacted Customer Support via E-Mail and explained the situation and they responded back within a couple of hours that if I'd send them some additional info such as proof of purchase (I created a PDF from the AMAZON conformation and sent it), current map version, etc. that they would take care of it. Within 15 minutes of submitting the requested info, I received an E-Mail telling me to connect to HOME and download the latest map - which I did. We used it last week for a trip around Kentucky. It stopped speaking once, but not sure if that was because I was running it off the battery at the time possibly, Also, one or two POI's were "close" but not exactly where it said they would be (but that was using the OLD Maps which I didn't update until after the trip). I had a 3 year old Magellan that this replaced and this unit is WAY faster at picking up satellites - almost instantaneous - even inside a parking garage! Screen position update on the map seems to lag a little (compared with the old Magellan) when using the 3D view, so next trip I'm switching to the 2D to see if it's any quicker. Used the Map Update feature to tag one POI that was shown on the wrong side of the interstate and that worked pretty well. Also like the optional startup screens, voices, etc. hat you can download to it. All-in-all, pretty well pleased with the unit, especially considering the price at this time!Get more detail about TomTom GO 720 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator.
