What's not so great:?If it can't pronounce a street name, it sounds a bit funny, thought it was broken at first. "Great GPS for the money! Gets us where we need to go whether we're around home or across the country. The only issue we've found is that if it can't pronounce a street name, it sounds a bit garbled, as if it lost a single or had loose wiring. from Bestbuy.com Downloaded new maps following instructions on TomTom Home. Totally screwed up my unit. from Amazon.com I received an email back saying that if they didn't hear from me they would assume the issue had been resolved - but there was no follow up from them. I checked my inbox, my spam folder - nothing. So I called the 800 number, and got a very nice lady who told me that the unit was just out of warranty. They don't look at, fix, or have recommendations for out of warranty units. from Amazon.com TomTom is a viable force in GPS navigation. The price, added features such as spoken street names, real-time traffic, phone link, etc, are all great. from Amazon.com I really like the TomTom 720. An advantage over the XL is that is gives street names (if you choose a computer voice) when telling you where to turn. from Amazon.com I tested it on a 225 mile drive. I knew the route pretty well except for the last 30 miles or so. I couldn't really tell from the TomTom maps where it was going to take me but I trusted it. I set out using my own knowledge, assuming the 720 would re-configure the directions as I made my turns. from Amazon.com I hear complaints on this Tom-Tom. I read them all and I bought it anyway. from Amazon.com I have an older TomTom Go--which was the reason I chose to purchase a newer version of TomTom Go. The size of the 720 makes it much more versatile and portable with fewer gadgets required to hook up. from Amazon.com I have nothing to compare this to, but as a first GPS navigation system, this is great. We had a gift card for Amazon and decided that we should try out a navigation system. My oh my, using a computer voice, it tells us what street to take a turn onto, although we don't have the lane software, it's quite good at indicating which lane we should be in. It has bells and whistles we are not going to use as we don't have a nationwide cellphone, ours are the pay as you go, so, no Blue-Tooth, thus no gas prices, phone answering, but no worries, just wish we knew it needed the cell phone before we bought the system, having never had one before, we thought that since it says it does this and that, we never figured we had to have an additional accessory for it (this is true as well for iPod control - you need to purchase a connector dongle). from Amazon.com I was leary at first but I took the chance and purchased it. I don't regret this decision. It's already worth its weight in gold to me becaused it pulled me out of a serious jam. I got lost and remembered I had it in the glove department. from Amazon.com
