I cannot say enough good things about this device and how it enhanced our New Zealand trip. First of all, before buying, I researched all of the top models. With the Garmin unit, you have to buy a chip for New Zealand, which costs $300!! That costs as much as the unit itself!! The Magellan units did not even have a NZ map, either with a chip or a download. With Tom Tom, you can go to their site and buy a download for a little over $100. The only issue was that the U.S. site was not selling the New Zealand map, so I had to go to the AUS/NZ Tom Tom site and register as a New Zealander, and then it let me purchase the map. But once I downloaded it, the software worked great, and loaded it onto the unit.
I also love the way you can record your own voice (or other voices) for the commands. Very advanced.
When we got to New Zealand, the unit worked perfectly, and knew every road, street, hotel, and landmark in the country. We drove all the way from Queenstown to Auckland (and many places in betwee), and it really helped. I look forward to other road trips with Tom Tom.Get more detail about TomTom GO 720 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator.
