4.0 out of 5 stars Device has great technology but not as user friendly as Garmin, March 18, 2008

I bought the TT GO 720 last week and it replaced my Garmin StreetPilot C340 that I gave to my partner. This device is very cool with lots of options. I'm very "tech" savvy so I like the fact that it allows for some
modification/personalization. Saying that it's not ideal for the average user. Garmin is much easier to use right out of the box without having to read any instructions at all. Some of the positives are the bluetooth capability which allows me to connect my Blackberry Pearl 8100 for hands-free calling. Unfortunately my phone is not compatible with the "GO-PLUS" features, for that I must have the device connected to my PC. The map layout is easy to see and the audio is very clear with the "text-to-speech" function. I also LOVE the fact that I can buy a cable for my
iPod and control it using the GO 720....that's great since I will no longer have to look down to change a song anymore. My biggest complaint by far is the lack of "Points of Interest" loaded. I think my Garmin came with over 6 Million POI's and the TT GO 720 has something in the 500,000 range. HUGE DISPARITY!! Without updating and loading dozens of separate POI files this thing couldn't even find local stores, gas

Love the bluetooth option. The size of the screen is great. Lots of options haven't been able to try them all yet, but so far it's great.

I hinted around last xmass that I wanted oa TomTom after reading a consuner report on portable GPS systems. I was hopping to receive a TomTom One because of the review. My wife looked a little closer at purchasing it for me and after her research purchased toe GO 720. I was suprised and very happy. To make a long story short I took it it on a pleasure trip to California that same week, I found it extremealy easy to use and never missed a turn on my vacation. I have used it frequently even around where I live, I do not have to ask for directions to get to a new place I have never been. When I up grade to a newer modle in the future it will be a TomTom. It's great for audio books also, very useful on long or short trips.
