I had an older Mio GPS that I really liked but it had no updates and no bluetooth phone connection so I purchased the new TomTom for both of those features. The main reason I returned it was it did not function hands free with my phone. When I called tech support, their definition of hands free was that you did not have to hold the phone to type/punch everything into the screen. That did not do the trick, I wanted true hands free using voice commands. So at that point the TomTom was history. I replaced it with a new Garmin that the hands free funciton works fine with voice commands from my Motorola Razr. Amazon returns was awesome! Easy to do and painless. The best part of my purchase! The reason I question tech support was that what I wanted seemed so basic to Hands Free - did they just not know how to do that, or was their Hands Free function really that lame?
While I had the phone I noticed a few other things. One was that when plugged into their pc program a item would pop up and tell me my maps were obsolete and I needed to buy new ones. So, given I had the first update free I went to update the maps - but that screen said my maps were up to date. Does that mean the first notification was just a sales thing, not accurate; or does that mean the map update function is wrong?
The software was not Vista "Comfortable" - to make it work correctly I had to use another computer that was Windows XP - not handy for a person with one pc.
The map editing function worked nice, but the feature I edited, a wrong street name, was already correct in the Garmin maps.Get more detail about TomTom GO 720 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator.
