Pros: choice of methods of route navigation.
Cons: time taken to download maps (90mins)
"This SatNav took me best route from North of England to ferry terminal at Plymouth without problem. Same again in Spain in some remote areas in the Picos de Europa. The road ahead was clearly marked on the winding mountain roads and GPS signal was always active. Best use of the SatNav is obtained by downloading the TomTom manual and studying prior to actual use.
Information is clearly displayed during use and a good choice of voices obtainable. No inaccuracies were noticed in route calculation in a trip of over 1000 miles.
Would thoroghly recommend."

Pros: the look and feel of the unit
Cons: it currently doesn't work!
"I purchased this yesterday and I'm disappointed to find that the screen is locked and I have no obvious way of resetting the device. For the 1 minute that it was working it seemed very good, I'm hopeful that this is a minor glitch as all of the other tomtoms that I've had have all been excellent"

Pros: routing, hd traffic, windscreen mount, 3 years' live services
Cons: slower gps lock than my old unit, no google search, slow connection to live services, my tom tom is fiddly to set up and use
"Bought the unit to replace my old "Go" because it's good value. Overall it's an improvement, especially the screen mount, but surprisingly it takes longer to get a GPS fix. The unit sometimes feels sluggish and takes a long time to connect to Live Services. Tom Tom Places replaces Google Search, but it's inferior. I find the Sat Nav on my smartphone is much faster to get a GPS fix and find unusual addresses, but the screen is smaller and the routing is not so good. The "My Tom Tom" interface to update the unit is fiddly to set up and worse than the old "Tom Tom Home". It's worth buying this unit to get the map updates, the excellent HD traffic and routing but give smartphones a couple of years and I think they will be better than standalone GPS units on all counts."

"Been using Tomtom units for quite a few years now, so when my Go720 started having trouble getting a fix, it was time for a new one. Everything is very familiar, but the larger screen is nice, and the rouch sensitivity seems to be improved compared to older models. Lifetime maps was a nice added extra, but I'm hoping the HD traffic feature will be even more useful - seems to work pretty well so far.All in all, another good satnav from Tomtom which should keep me moving for another few years again. Would like to see "windy roads" option added to everyday satnavs (you get this option on Tomtom Rider units, and would be nice for the odd Sunday drive)."

Pros: large screen
Cons: website
"Instructed to connnect to TOMTOM'S Get Started in order to register device. It was like a maze. After following on-screen directions I found myself back at the opening page of Get Started with no indication that my registration had been successful. I eventually phoned TOMTOM and spoke to an American who was no use at all. After 6minutes he hung up on me. Today I phoned again, spoke to Conor who requested my email address and immediately informed me that the registration had been successful on day one although there had been no such confirmation on screen.
I have just now discovered that the USB power cable long connector for use in the car prevents the device being placed in the stand so charging is not possible. The purchase of the alternative cable (shown in the 'What's in the Box') seems to be required. Not satisfactory."

Pros: good size screen and accurate gps placement
Cons: poor software to support services
"Ideal product if you have too much time in hand so here we go. Bought on bank holiday weekend so quick set up and go- no change. Firstly software not compatible with LION OSX so 30 minutes to resolve this. Then no map updates or lives services. 15 minute call to Halfords to confirm it is not there problem speak to TOMTOM however they only work 9-5 on week days. Had to wait without use of satnav over bank holiday weekend.
Manage to get hold of TOMTOM weekday at last but on hold for 13 minutes at 14p/min. Then had to fight as they will only give 1 year live services unlike advert on Halfords website. Won the argument in end but have to send copy of website and proof of purchase so that they can explore. Life time maps code arrived 6 days after registration and at present still no live services but the part that work is much better than my Garmin. So if you have a lot of time and patience I think this will be a good device once you get it working. This has been my experience with TOMTOM- poor product support and software but once working they are better than all the others."

dislike the 3 menus bottom of the main screen, would like to be able to remove them,
the warning tones, in time i will check for some download tones,
the worst is at motorway speed taking a junction heading to a roundabout this tom tom has a long lag before it tells you which way you are going to turn.
i have not had the time to look at the distruction's yet to see if i can resolve any of my dislikes,"

""Out of the box" Not quite. A computer is needed to set up so not ideal for those not au fait with same or indeed without one. At the outset a call to TomTom took ages-13th in queue to register necessary as serial number not recognised and also to set up "free' MAPS but excellent service when so contacted. Then computer then e-mailed advice to download updates BUT unit had been hard wired using supplied cable into car so unable to do so without another second cable. Local staff however excellent and very helpful throughout"
