TomTom Go 720


(3.5 out of 5)

MSRP: $499


TomTom's latest navigator lets you update maps on the fly and share your results with others.

Review date: Oct 3, 2007

We love watching the GPS market grow and improve as new devices showcase surprisingly useful new features. Take, for example, the TomTom Go 720, which includes the company's new Map Share technology for not only marking closed roads and misnamed streets, but also for downloading changes made by others.   We like that the 720 is so sleek and portable (7.8 ounces and less than an inch thick), because you'll need to carry it between your home and car often to get the most of the Map Share features. Despite the slender size, you still get a large, bright 4.3-inch screen.

ProsCons
  • Map Share functionality
  • Help feature offers quick emergency assistance
  • 500MB of storage for songs and photos
  • Includes Bluetooth and an FM transmitter
  • Desktop software difficult to update
  • POI database poorly organized
  • Traffic service and weather info are paid extras
