Very Good Portable GPS Navigator October 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I think this is a very good portable GPS navigator. I like that it has an internal battery, so it keeps working when it's not plugged into the car. I like the features, the price, the slightly larger screen, the convenient way that the suction cup attaches to the unit, the fact that the maps can be updated (easily) via my Mac, ... there are a lot of nice touches to this product.
I recently drove from San Francisco to Raleigh and had this little GPS along for the ride. My favorite feature was that it shows hotels on the display and includes the reservation phone number, so you can find a hotel at an upcoming exit, and call from the car.
There are a few little things that could be improved. (1) The automatic zooming almost always picked the wrong scope, which is a minor annoyance. When driving 70mph on the highway, I don't want it to zoom in, I want it to zoom to a wider view that shows me where I'll be in 10 minutes, not that I am still in the middle of nowhere right now. (2) The onscreen "zoom out" button is so close to the "please repeat the last audible instruction" button that I frequently hit the "please repeat the last audible instruction" button when I wanted to zoom out.
 LOVE IT! October 14, 2008
I had the original Tomtom 130 and liked it. But I wanted the 730 because of the spoken street names and more advanced directions. The 730 is all that I hoped for, along with many features and options that I had not even expected. Just got back from a vacation to VT, NH, and ME and it never lead me astray.
 Not Impressed!!! September 17, 2008
I bought the 730 about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Been using it since. First impression of the tomtom 730 was this gps looks & feel very nice. very well designed but the initial power on language was not english.
Pro:
-Lane guide
-good overall design
-fast routing
-
Con:
-preloaded computer voice keep pronoucing "0" (Zero) to "WEST"
-speaker sound like it has blown out when the volume is set higher than 80%
-not very accurate (had seen the arrow moving next to the street)
-map correction could be better designed
-could use a bigger built-in memory (with all the update, it was taking up about 1.9GB out of a total of 2GB)
great little gadget! September 15, 2008
I purchased this unit to replace a go300 that I sold with my old car. I love the style, size, and shape of the machine, and the functionality is pretty great too. I just used it to get to and from NY for a wedding and it took me exactly where I wanted to go. I knew the way, but I thought I would run the Tom Tom through its paces. Well, it recalculated the route several times, as I didn't go the way it wanted me to, but brought me right to the front door of the hotel.
I had to update the software, etc. as soon as I got it using the TomTom Home software for Mac. Piece of cake. It asked me if I wanted to connect to the computer, I said yes, and away I went. I was even able to download a free icon of my new car to have on the screen. Very cool!
All in all, this is a very nice unit. My only complaint is the speed at which it picks up the satellites. This seems to be a bit lagging.
Pretty Good GPS! September 7, 2008
I received this GPS 1 day before having to evacuate for Hurricane Gustav 08/31/2008 in Southeast Louisiana. Right out of the box it had great reception. Easy to use. Easy to program to your specifications. I would recommend this product. Thank you, Amazon.com for another great product!!
