Cheap TomTom GO 720 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator


I was surprised the 720 picked up satellites even when I was inside the house 10-15 feet from a window. My old Magillan did not do this.

Once the 720 had located satellites the first time any subsequent use resulted in a very fast lock on to the satellites. Usually 30 seconds to a minute.

I was also surprised to see some dirt farm roads show up on the screen even though they don't have a name and I was unaware they existed until I saw them on the screen.

It was also interesting that when I programmed in a destination and then took a side trip of several miles the 720 automatically adjusted and re-figured the route from the new location without any action on my part.

My blue tooth LG phone (From Verizon) will connect with the 720 and I can make and receive phone calls but the LG 8300 cell phone will not transfer its phone book to the 720 and it looks like few if any LG phones will transfer their phone book to the TT 720. Best check compatibility before you buy if this is important to you.

I wish the 720 were compatible with LG and the battery life were longer on the TT 720.
