Posted on May 18th, 2010 by in Gadgets and Mobile

I am not posting for almost two weeks because of changing web hosting. Now I am really happy when this blog has zero downtime when moving to new web hosting. Cheers!

So this new product that catch my attention is one more product from TomTom. It is TomTom GO 730 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator.

With TomTom GO 730 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator you will get new ultimate driving experience. You can enter the address on the touchscreen or use voice address entry.

Whereas IQ Routes Technology gives you the fastest route every time by using actual average speeds of travel on your route to calculate your trip. Meanwhile Advanced Lane Guidance feature uses photorealistic images to bring even more clarity to complex multi-lane exits so you can be more confident on the road

With TomTom Map Share technology, you can instantly modify street names, street direction, POIs, road speeds. One most important features is Bluetooth hands-free calling and added safety features for easily accessing local emergency providers to make your driving even safer.

Some pros:

  • Voices are good
  • Routing is execellent
  • Ability to reroute around 1 road is awesome
  • Tomtom support is very helpful. They speak english and seem to be located within the US.
  • Much better software than other GPS providers.
  • Most accessories for the 720/920 work for the 730 including the Traffic antenna

Some cons:

  • Screen washes out in sunlight – We will have to look for a sunshade
  • Mounting system – What were they thinking? It fell off the window twice and doesn’t even clip into the mount. Had to purchase a 3rd party mounting system (Ram mounts work)
  • Should come with some type of case to protect the unit.
  • Really wish the speeding and red light cameras were supported in the US
  • POI doesn’t seem to be as robust as a Garmin. Tomtoms have millions of POI but just not the stuff we normally look for such as grocery stores, etc.
