TomTom GO 720 GPS
It’s another new GPS device from the brand that made GPS simple, the TomTom GO 720 sat-nav has just been released.

I own one of the cheaper Tom Tom GPS devices and I find it so simple to use, I have used many in-car satellite navigation systems and portable ones (The Tom Tom is by far the best GPS I have ever used).

The Features of the TomTom 720 GPS Include:

  • 2GB of internal flash memory
  • Bluetooth
  • FM transmitter
  • SD card slot
  • 64MB of RAM
  • 400MHz CPU
  • 4.3-inch WQVGA display
  • New Map Share System
  • Maps of the US and Canada pre-loaded

The major new feature is the companies Map Share system which obviously lets you share maps and make changes to them.

You will be able to make changes to maps directly on the device, but if you want to share them with others you will need to upload them via a PC (this also gets you updated maps).

The TomTom 720 GPS with map share will cost around $500 and will be released around July time in the US and Canada.
If you are from Europe you will be looking at a separate model called the GO 520.

    you say that the go 720 has just been released which it has not at the time of reading this (so that is wrong)
    Also you say that it will be released in the usa in july and us in europe will have to settle for the 520 which we dont because the the 720 is being released in july in europe
    (so this is also wrong) i dont think this is very reliable considering its just a short paragraph and you seem to have 2 fairly large mistakes.
    were do you get your information because in this case it seems to all be wrong!!

    there is somethins else which seems wrong the 520 may cover the benelux or gb only and the 720 europe or and usa and canada.
    this is not very clear and the simple reason is that the product is not out and everybody is adding wrong information

    Doesn’t matter if you are in US or UK, the model will be the same 720. Half the features are missing from your review… Some review…
