The TomTom Go 720 offers a long list of features for its price, reviews say. British reviewers declared it the best unit available when it hit the market, but American reviewers have been more restrained. Still, all ratings but one are very high. The lone dissenter criticizes the TomTom Go 720 for its poor GPS tracking and reception, sub-par routing and rerouting problems. Other American reviewers are impressed by the TomTom Go 720's many features, including interactive map updates and user-friendly traffic alerts. Still, a few reviewers find the Go 720 sometimes gives directions too late.
We found more than a dozen reviews for the TomTom Go 720. GPSMagazine.com's remarkably complete testing and review process is untouched by any other reviewer. Laptop Magazine, GPSReview.net, TrustedReviews.com, GPSLodge.com and PCMag.com all have good reviews that fall short in at least a couple of key areas. We found more than 160 owner-written reviews at Amazon.com.

Jonathan Bray highly recommends the TomTom Go 720 after testing it over 1,000 miles through England and France. This review addresses all of the important considerations, but it is overly focused on features and makes no comparisons.
