Summary: Good travel helper asfor me
Comment: i am sure TOmTom will upgrade its website to have us all the updated maps as early as 2008..well it doesnt have the MP3 play back option in the unit .. i find many pros while 2 cons.. it doesnt support a SD card slot and its mem is 1gb..however it should have street spelling option instead of calling the turns..well its the price that makes it worth..

Summary: Not Impressed!!!
Comment: 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)

Summary: great little gadget!
Comment: 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.

Summary: Pretty Good GPS!
Comment: 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!!

Summary: Super interface, but some significant faults, too
Comment: I bought the TomTom GO 730 to replace my StreetPilot 2720 (which actually replaced a newer unit, the Nuvi 660--long story). In the week that I've had this unit, I've gotten a pretty good sense of what I like and don't like about it.
Likes:
- Acquires satellite signal *very* quickly.
- Entering routes/itineraries/POIs is a snap.
- Quick and smooth BlueTooth hands-free pairing with my cell (ATT 8525, WM5)
- Search by zip code (Garmin! Why did you get rid of this on your US models?!)
- Quick and easy searches for destinations. For instance, you can search for "Springfield" in only your state, or you can expand your search to include Springfields throughout the US. Between the quick signal acquisition and the fast-and-easy destination searches, I hit the road a lot faster with TomTom than I did with Garmin.
- HOME software installed smoothly and easily
- Routing seems better than on my Garmins. They would make some pretty flaky suggestions sometimes.
- More flexible and intuitive process than Garmin for deciding what you want displayed in the status bar.
In general, the TomTom interface is more powerful than the Garmin interface. The latter feels kind of "dumbed-down," and while easy to use, gives you fewer options than the TT does.
Dislikes:
- Biggest dislike: It doesn't tell you, in routing directions, when one route changes to another. On my morning commute, I take 85N, which ends at/turns into 101N; twenty miles after the change, I get off 101N for 92E. TomTom simply says "take 85N to 92E."
- Second biggest dislike: The text explanation of the route (essentially driving directions) are very spare, almost to the point of being useless. I found the Garmin text routes much clearer
- The speaking voice is almost unintelligible when it tries to pronounce place names. This problem most commonly arises when the unit tries to pronounce Spanish place names (of which we have many in CA); but it happens on the English ones, too. Of course, Garmin was nothing to write home about, either.
- The mount sucks (uh...literally). They give you the suction cup/ball-socket assembly for the windshield. I've had lousy experiences with suction cups and GPSs before; I'd much rather they included a friction solution like Garmin does. Also, in some states (like mine), a windshield mount is actually illegal. Instead, you have to stick the suction cup to the dashboard, atop a hard-plastic, adhesive disc provided for this purpose. My experience with such discs is that they warp in hot sun, ruining the surface for suction cups. (The heat also degrades the adhesive badly, so that the disc also gets loose and falls off.)
- Lack of data connectivity with my phone. TomTom's website says that my phone should be compatible with the GO 730 for data services. But this appears not to be true. Maybe I need a newer version of Windows Mobile on my phone? But if so, the support site should say this, and not just give a blanket endorsement of the phone.
