TomTom Go 730 Europe

SatNav systems can be picked up very cheaply nowadays, sometimes under £50. My first was a TomTom, many years ago, with a little screen, but it worked like a charm. Then I got tempted by a Garmin Nuvi 250W because of the £100 price tag (at the time on offer) and the nice large widescreen. It was very good, but never a TomTom. Then I picked up this TomTom Go 730 Europe. I paid £229 from Littlewoods Direct. There is a traffic version, but this was £50 more and I had seen the simple add-on for £20, so there was a saving to be made. I decided to see how good the 730 Europe was first and then buy the traffic cable later if needed. So, this device, it is ...  Read the complete review

I just got the Tom Tom 730 Europe at Christmas and have been having great fun seeing what it can do. The hands free phone facility is great for making or taking calls legally whilst driving. But that isn't the real reason for having this great gadget. I have to do quite a lot of deliveries for my wife's business, so I never know where I am likely to go from one day to the next. Just enter the postcode, though and it will find its way for you almost without any hitches. (It has stopped talking to us for no apparent reason and taken a bit of fiddling to persuade it speak again.) There have been a couple of little glitches, like telling me the wrong ...  Read the complete review

My former employer supplied (too few) TomTom's for scurrying about the country. When he, his family or the one stop delivery boys hadn't taken them (or lost them), TomTom dramatically reduced the stress of driving to my appointments, especially in areas unfamiliar to me - I have been guilty of attempting to navigate myself through the centre of London (Enfield to Blackheath) with the aide of an AtoZ in my lap. Very stressful and not very clever. Clever is what TomTom is. Very effective and simple to use (postcode to postcode). I found that having an approximation of the duration of your journey key to arriving on time for appointments. Use the features, like ...  Read the complete review

As satellite navigation systems go this one is quite expensive it cost me over £200 but as I needed one that covers Europe well I decided to give it a go. The TomTom 730 has a touch screen that is just over 4" wide so not that big and fits on your window screen quite nicely and is easy enough to use. As with most TomTom systems it is easy to use and update, this can be do regularly and it has access to maps of over 30 Europe countries as well as the UK so where ever you go in your car, you should be ok. There is plenty of useful functions my favourite is the estimate time of arrival which to fair is pretty accurate unless you get stuck ...  Read the complete review

This unit comes packed with features as you would expect for the prices quoted. Around christmas this unit was about £250 in most shops but ha gone up to £300 now, I have seen that Amazon have it for £220 which is very cheap considering everything you get on the unit. I bought this for my dad at christmas as I had used the 930 before and knew that it would be excatly what he wanted, it was and so far has been perfect for him. The unit has mapping of both the UK, Ireland and also Europe, so will suit most people needs, but if you ever wanted to add more mapping you could do as there is an SD card slot at the bottom of the unit. This is something ...  Read the complete review
