The fabulous TomTom GO 720 Traffic was being discontinued the last time i checked, which is a shame, but may still available in some stores. It is certainly worth tracking down, because their performance and a long list of features make it a great sat nav unit.

Routing is correct and it is quickly re-calculate, but the display is sometimes a bit confusing, and the amount of information presented cannot be changed. Traffic information can be received "out of the box, but the accuracy is a bit hit and miss. Audible signals are on schedule.

The user can make changes to their cards, which can then be shared with other users. When you download other users' changes, you can choose to receive either a review by a team of TomTom or just load all the changes, although the validity of this cannot be guaranteed.

This gps can be wired to your car radio mute when audio commands are given, or the radio can be put to the vote on the unit. When using a Bluetooth connection to a mobile phone, weather-related information available, speed camera updates and find-a-friend services can all be used. New addresses can be programmed via a very intuitive language.
Maps of 22 European countries are provided, including the Canary Islands. Angrily, mount the suction always fell back from the windshield during the test. It is protected by a four digit PIN code and signals a warning if you leave it in the car. It is big, but could be pushed into a pocket.

The GO 720T is currently the top-of-the-line model of the new GO x20 series. It is included with the detailed map of Western Europe, and sells a set for approx. Price from € 550 inside the box is the device itself, the windshield mount, a 12/24 volts car charger and a docking station and USB cable. Also included as standard with this T-unit is a new and improved RDS / TMC receiver, which is used for downloading (free) traffic information to the device. This receiver is missing from the box of the "normal" GO 720, for about € 50 less in the usual (sold online) transactions.

It does not take an expert to notice that TomTom can be a conventional design of the earlier GO range has thrown out the window with the new x20 series. Gone are the "round belly" of TomTom GO and what remains is a very compact device, measuring 118 x 83 x 24 millimetres and a weight of 220 g. The dimensions are very comfortable offering for the first time the possibility that they easy with the device in your pocket, despite its relatively large 4.3-inch touch screen. This allows for easy portability and is a remarkable improvement. It will probably be a big plus point for many new customers.

This gps unit has lots of features, accurately and quickly recalculate plus can be adjusted to your car stereo! However, for a poor windscreen mounting unit, a display cluttered, a screed, the hard to read, be prepared in direct sunlight.
