Buyer's feedback:
- * Best Thing I ever received as a gift ... 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.
Buyer's feedback:
- The Best Out There...I have owned a GPS from Magellan and Garmin. My TomTom is the tops. I have had all to often a person tell me that they are not on GPS'r or MapQwest only to enter the address into TomTom and viola, there they are and here i come. People are always impressed and want to know what GPS i own, so they can buy one.
Buyer's feedback:
- * Great Product ... A great product. Would recommend to anyone! (We invite you to take a brief survey right now. It will only take a minute and you could win a free GO 930, a $499 value. There's nothing to buy and everyone who completes the survey is eligible. ) - A Tom Tom Customer
Buyer's feedback:
- Awesome!What a blessing as a means of finding my way around my local area, my state, and this entire 48 lower states plus Alaska. Going through Alaska way a breeze using my awesome TomTom. Everyone MUST try a TomTom. You will be hooked. I go to the speciality section to locate banks, restaurants, parks. etc. Thank you TomTom.
Buyer's feedback:
- * Tom Tom Go 720 vs. Garmin 680 ... Tried the Garmin 680 first and liked some things about it, but it had 2 big negatives vs. Go 720...
The 680 has a better suction cup mount...that clamp is nice and secure. Tom Tom is less secure and they should adopt a clamp mount.
680 has somewhat better sensitivity and gets satellite lock faster. TomTom will often not lock indoors while garmin usually will.
Go 720 lacks an AC adapter (cheap!) 680 has one.
Go 720 lacks a carry case (cheap!) 680 has one.
680 manual is awful. Does not even tell you you will be single state limited if you enable WAAS. TomTom is better.
Navigating ability is comparable. Neither is perfect.
Go 720 is more of a quality piece. 680 is just a bit cheap-feeling. The ball mount on the 680 is Micky Mouse.
The FM broacast capability on the 680 is simply inadequate. The Go 720 is MUCH better. Garmin should not even claim this as a feature.
The 680 navigation screen is pretty, but information poor. The Go 720 is very information rich in comparison, but some will claim that this makes it look confusing. They are wrong.
The user-updatable maps of the Go 720 are a big plus.
Garmin map updates are considerable cheaper.
The Garmin battery lasts a bit longer than the Tom Tom battery. Neither is long-lived.
The Garmin internal speaker is worse.
I wanted to like the Garmin 680 more, but the sparse screen info and pathetic FM capability were a deal killer. The Go 720 is the way to go.
I am also going to try to enable voice input as it seems that this can be done with at least some U.S. units.
