----- Where in the world is TomTom Sandiego? -----

I hope I'm not the only one that remembers the incredibly catchy tune by Rockapella which played during each episode of WITWI Carmen Sandiego. I know it's been about a decade (yeah, I feel old now) since it was popular, but I've never... Read full review »

Many Features But Unreliable In Several Ways

byslbenz Aug 12, 2006

Pros Small size, touchscreen use using fingertip only.

Cons Poor reliability, Bluetooth only on select phones.

Recommended it? No

This review is based on six months of daily use of the TomTom GO 700. I decided on purchasing this unit as a replacement to a Lowrance IWay 500C that I reviewed months ago because the TomTom is smaller than the Lowrance which partially blocked my view of traffic. The other major influence to... Read full review »

TomTom Go 700 vs. Garmin c330

Pros Bluetooth, compact design, advanced route planning features, touchscreen

Cons Bluetooth incompatible with Verizon, inferior maps

Recommended it? Yes

I had a very difficult time deciding between the Garmin c330 and the TomTom Go700. I first decided on the TomTom model because of the Bluetooth phone compatibility, but returned it because it did not work with my Verizon phone. I now own the Garmin and love it, but there are certain features I miss... Read full review »

Pros Good user interface, ease of use, remote control. Effective feature set.

Cons Partial Nokia phone support. Limited PC support. Lacks goodies.

Recommended it? Yes

I am new to satellite navigation. My primary motivation for buying such an accessory is leisure road trips. None of my 4 cars has satellite navigation (was not a customary option or simply not available at all when I bought them). Regardless, I would scrutinize the pros and cons of taking OEM...

Recommended it? No

I own a very old (5 years), very slow Garmin, so I'm not a GPS novice, and I was VERY excited by the TomTom 700's small packaging (5x5inches)and blue tooth capabilities.

The touchface screen interface is sweet, easy to use. THe menus were easy to use, but the combo of big icons and small... Read full review »

Pros Fairly reliable unit. Easy to use.

Cons Too many map errors. Very poor customer service.

Recommended it? No

I received a TomTom Go 700 as a Christmas present in 2005. This review will not be a "how to" but just experience related issues. Overall, I have been pleased with this GPS. My main complaint is the length of time it takes from initially turning the device on until it connects with a satellite... Read full review »

Very Very Disappointing

Pros None

Cons Pretty much everything

Recommended it? No

The TomTom 700 is such a poorly designed GPS.

I have had a number of addresses where the system will lock up when you enter the address to go. Support says it is fixed with a new software update, but I can't be bothered as the overall system is so poorly designed and implemented.
