Go down the roster of top-of-the-line GPS features, and the TomTom Go 720 has them all covered: text-to-speech pronunciation of street names; the ability to play audio files from an SD Card through your car's stereo; and clear, colorful 3D maps displayed on a big screen.

The TomTom Go 720 is ready to navigate right out of the box, as the diminutive unit has maps for all 50 states and Canada built in. The Go 720 isn't much taller or wider than its 4.3-inch screen: It measures about 4.5 by 1.0 by 3.25 inches (width by depth by height), and it weighs just under a half pound. You can choose to navigate to a specific address, zip code, or intersection; to a business or another point of interest (TomTom says that the included database offers millions of entries); or to a recent destination or one that you've designated as a favorite. You also can select your destination simply by tapping a spot on the map.

3. No way to create shortcuts to your desired menus to alleviate problems 1, 2.
4. Somehow, I see multiple entries for mos...–PGfrom Amazon.com
12 May 2009We got a lemonWas soooo excited to get my wife an upgrade from her old tomtom 700. Found great price on Amazon and with the understanding that we get a free firmware upgrade within the first 30 days after purchase that basically turns the 720 into a 730....I was sold.
UNFORTUNATELY....the unit we received from Amazon....the touchscreen was defective! Buttons were highlighting that were not touched...and letters would type all by themselves! sigh! Time to get familiar with Amazon's return policy!...–B. Shefmirefrom Amazon.com
