Kudos to TomTom for taking something so often overlooked and making it work!Īlso included in the box is a car charger, a documentation pack including a software CD, and finally, a home dock with a USB cable for syncing to your computer and desktop charging. I have had zero problems with it in either my truck or my wife's minivan, and it easily adjusts and stays exactly where you put it. It is simple to slide the 720 on or off of the mount. But much to my surprise, it turned out to be a thing of beauty. Easily the simplest mount I have encountered with a GPS.

It is very slim, with a modest sized suction cup. Not the case with the TomTom.Īs I unpacked the box and found the mount, I was worried. They are usually flimsy and often fall off the windshield, usually at the most inopportune moments. In the past, windshield mounts have been a major weakness of GPS units I have used. The tapered rear is only about an inch deep at it's thickest point (the center), and here you will find a small speaker just below the spot where the unit connects to the included windshield mount. A large 4.3' touchscreen with one single power button on the top makes for a very slick, slim, and easy to transport unit. Right out of the box, I was impressed with the form factor. It proved to be a perfect 5-day workout for the TomTom, as my trip would take me from South Carolina to Florida and back, all the while navigating to restaurants, shopping centers, hotels, theme parks, and even a dirt road here and there. I had decided to drive and bring my entire family along for a trip to Universal Studios in Orlando after the event. It just so happened that my review period fell right around the dates of the Audioholics State of CE Union event in Clearwater, FL. Whether it's finding a friend's house or a restaurant, a GPS will let you get around in a new city as if you have lived there all of your life. If you have never had a modern GPS in your car on a road trip to an unfamiliar town, you have no idea how this thing will change your life. Well, I am the type of GPS user that wants to have one for my vacations and business trips, and the occasional drive around the area I live in to an address that I am unfamiliar with. I live in a small coastal community, and trust me, traffic is just not an issue here, so you might wonder what I would want with a GPS in my car. It was quick and simple to get up and running, and that is a huge factor with this type of gear. I have tried several units over the past year, and the TomTom ranks very high on my list of must-have GPS systems.

The TomTom GO 720 is a complete portable car navigation system that comes with everything you need, and is ready to go right out of the box. TomTom is one of the leaders in portable GPS units, and I was thrilled at the chance to review one of their latest offerings, the GO 720. In the last couple of years, the technology has really reached a saturation point that has brought in-car navigation to the masses, and the prices continue to fall while features and quality rise. If you haven't checked out the latest portable GPS offerings, you are missing out.
