The TomTom GO 720 now allows you to record various driving instructions in the voice that you want, including yours, for a completely personalized driving experience.

Features

The new TomTom GO 720 has the reputation of being one of the slimmest and hence highly portable lightweight devices on the market today. Ready to be used out of the box, the device comes preloaded with detailed street maps of all of North America and a collection of millions of points of interest. One of the most innovative uses of technology in the TomTom GO 720 can be seen in the TomTom MapShare feature. While standard navigation systems can plan routes for you and guide you along the streets that already exist in their database, when it comes to new streets or streets whose names have been modified, they face a problem. The TomTom MapShare feature allows you to modify the street names as also street directions on your own map. In fact, you find any new or changed points of interest along the way; you can mark them too on your map. And the best part – you can easily upload these changes or download the verified changed versions of the maps through TomTom HOME, a free desktop software from TomTom. Using TomTom HOME, all TomTom users can download the latest softwares for their devices as also the most recently updated maps of their interest. No wonder TomTom boasts of one of the largest satellite navigation community and currently consists of over 10 million users.

The new TomTom GO 720 also comes with unique emergency features that ensure that you have quick access to help as and when you need it. A unique ‘Help Me!’ feature contains an extensive menu with details of places that may come in handy during an emergency. Places like car repair shops, hospitals, gas stations or police stations. Once you have familiarized yourself with most of the devices’ features, the TomTom GO 720 will come up with a shortcut menu that contains a list of the most accessed features so that you can get to them with just one touch.

In addition to all the above, the new TomTom GO 720 comes with additional features as part of its TomTom PLUS services. These include TomTom Weather for regular weather updates as also the TomTom QuickGPSfix that enables very fast connections between the device and the GPS satellites.

So, for a technologically enhanced, safe and secure driving experience, go for the new TomTom GO 720.

  • I received a TOMTOM 720 Go for Christmas 1.5 years ago. It stopped holding a charge so I called Tomtom to ask them to fix the issue. The customer svcs rep said they do not fix issues out of warranty. The supervisor said they do not fix issues outside of warranty. I stated the issue is a manufacturer issue, a defective battery and should be replaced. I did everything right with the battery. I never left the unit plugged in over night. I never left it in the car to be affected by the weather. I let the battery run all the way down when I first received it. Still they do not fix issues out of warranty. For $600 I would expect better customer service. They did offer to enroll me in their customer loyalty program and thus provide me with $100 off my next purchase. This customer’s loyalty costs exactly $600. My co-workers husband had the same issue. The battery life is apparently something that should be looked into and my impression is that they know the batteries are an issue but aren’t allowed or refuse to address the issue. Unless someone knows how to get and replace the battery in one of these do not purchase a Tomtom. I have gone to a couple of places and they have all told me replacing the battery is impossible, I would have to purchase another unit. I wish I would have known about this non-replaceable battery issue before asking for one as a gift. I would never have had my father purchased their product and never will again.
