Disappointed in recent purchase of my TomTom 720! Because it was a great deal I let my husband talk me out of a Garmin that I had my eye on. Two weeks after I had the unit-it would not charge in car-simple solution since it was just a fuse in the charger. However after going to use it again to find a new location-it will not turn on!!! It is fully charged, receiving power but just a black screen! UGH!! First few uses were without issues after getting use to different screens but I have only used it 4 times since screen went black. Positive aspects were the graphics, alternate route options (I liked how easy it was to take out certain streets or highways in the route) and info positioning on the screen. The screen and unit were also a good size-not to big not to small. Cons-blown fuse, black screen, no street names, does not tell you what side of the street your location is on (Garmin does).

Love my Tom Tom GO 720... I have had it for about 2 years now and it has been great. It works great with the iphone too. I have never had any navigation issues. It is pretty much got me to the exact location. The onl negative thing is it does take a minute or 2 to connect to the satelllites sometimes. But no big deal.

Love this GPS unit. It has many features and the online services are very good.

I have had other units, and this TomTom is my favorite.

Love the Bluetooth feature!

Tomtom Go 720 purchase this for our son and daughter-in-law for Christmas. My husband has an older model and he was jealous when he saw how compact this unit was. The new design is vert appealing with blue tooth - good value for the money....

pscipio03 says "Buy a Garmin." about TomTom - GO 720 GPS Receiver

I have both a TomTom 720 and a Garmin 330. The Garmin is far more accurate (down to about 3 meters or so), while the TomTom gets me within about 30 or so meters. It can sometimes take up to 5 minutes for it to actually find satellites, which I never had with the Garmin. In addition, I never had interference from outside sources (tall buildings, etc...) with the Garmin like I do with the TomTom. And, if you aren't real comfortable with electronics, the TomTom is far less self intuitive. However, the TomTom does have far more options than the Garmin.
Bottom line, which would I recommend? The Garmin in a heartbeat. The TomTom is flashier and prettier, but it just doesn't have the, well how do I put it, the navigation abilities of the Garmin. And isn't that why we buy the darn things?
