Customer Review(s)
Customer Rating: Summary: Highly disappointing -- consistently weird routing Comment: The TomTom 720 a beautiful machine with a lot of cool features. But the routing is dreadful so often that we have to bring maps along -- which kind of defeats the purpose of a .
Our older, cheaper, slower, not-very-beautiful Garmin is MUCH more reliable.
We live in Eastern Pa. and do most of our driving here. The road network is very old and established so it is not a matter of out of date maps. It's just the TomTom's routing algorithm. If we're not paying attention, the TomTom will take us 20 miles out of our way -- and these are repeat incidents so I know it's machine error, not user error. Even in our neighborhood, sometimes it inexplicably has us go in completely the wrong direction and takes wildly circuitous routes.
If you know where you're going, and you're just using the TomTom for the last 1/4 mile, the neighborhood streets, this machine can't do you much harm. But for longer trips I just can't trust it. Extremely disappointing for a $300 machine -- and the more we use it the more we dislike it.
I think our $300 TomTom is going to get replaced by a $100 MIO pretty soon.
