The GO 720 is one of TomTom's latest portable GPS models and we are pleased to say that it is reasonably priced; works very well, is fully GPS featured and has additional multimedia features. At 4.6/3.2/0.9 inch (W/H/D) and 7.7 ounces the compact design assures transporting the G0720 is a breeze. The front is dominated by a 4.3", antiglare touch-screen (480x272 pixels) which shows bright and sharp color 2D and 3D maps. Control is handled via the screen with an intuitive interface and virtual keyboard for text input. Connectivity includes a headphone jack, a TomTom connector port, a mini USB connector and an SD expansion slot. Bluetooth connectivity also allows network and cellphone connectivity. External volume control is lacked sadly making volume adjustment while driving a tad troublesome. The map archive comes preloaded on the 2GB HDD and can be updated online via the TomTom software or via the new Map-Share feature which allows adjustments of maps to be made right on your GO720, saved and then uploaded, shared and received from other users. Navigation wise the GO720 does very well, you can set course by various parameters, get real-time updates and receive text and voice turn-by-turn directions, including text-to-speech functionality. Additionally there's a "Help Me" function which instantly gives you the location of the nearest police station and hospital and a "Where am I function that will provide your exact current location for cases of emergency.
