TomTom is a trustworthy name when it comes to GPS units. I recently bought this and loved it. The TomTom GO 720T is an updated version of the GO 510 which was an amazing GPS unit itself.

The TomTom GO 720T has a comfortable 4.3 inch widescreen and this unit is one of the first GPS systems to have VRT (Voice Recognition Technology). The system records your voice and gives you an answer to your vocal question of your chosen route. You can ask the TomTom to work out your route from point A to B by simply using your voice. The TomTom allows you to choose from a number of pre set voices to guide you through your journey or even your own voice.

The TomTom GO 720T has a new never seen before graphics interface. The look of the maps is sleek and the buildings are in more detail. Set in the TomTom's memory is a list of speed cameras and there positions. Along routes you can save your own addresses, point of interest and make notes along the way which is a good add on. You can also connect your TomTom to your computer which enables you to get the latest updates.

The TomTom includes help menu like all the other models before this. But this model also features a telephone BlueTooth function which lists all nearest hopitals and police stations incase of an emergency.

The design of this unit is slim with aluminium insert which makes it comfortable to touch and very discreet looking. The TomTom GO 720T has some cool functions such as an in-built FM transmitter, MP3 player and photo viewer.
