Pros: Small size, touchscreen use using fingertip only.
Cons: Poor reliability, Bluetooth only on select phones.
Summary: 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 ... read more

Very poor customer service.
Summary: 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 ... read more

Cons: No anti-theft features (lock),
Navigating to point on map,
Labeling not overly intuitive
Summary: This unit was recently stolen out of my car... I'm thinking about buying it again (at the right price; bought it the first time for $299 on AMEX's Wish List). Bluetooth worked great with my Motorola Q. It would have been nice for the address book to ... read more

Pros: You can go to any city and you can use this unit while walking.
Cons: Bad overall customer service and long waiting time on the phone; poor upgrade software.
Summary: I bought my Tom Tom 700 over a year ago. It was the hottest device on the market, but the maps are always outdated. The Tom Tom 700 got me from point A to Z without any problems. But, I just ordered the upgrade CD and finally had to call customer service ... read more

Pros: None
Cons: Pretty much everything
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: User interface, ability to configure, size, speed,
Cons: route choices, maps, lack of support
Summary: I've had this unit for a couple of weeks. Just returned from a long trip (Columbus, OH to Danbury, CT) and have some observations. First it was fun and easy to use. The menus and choices were pretty clear. The 3D view was easy to read and the voice ... read more

Pros: Compact size yet large, clear 3.5" screen, excellent user-interface and software, vocal commands clearly spoken.
Cons: Searching for POIs can be frustrating due to lack of information, still can't vocalize streetnames.
Summary: ----- 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 ... read more

Pros: size, packaging, interface, bluetooth capability
signal strength, speed of routing, internal battery
Cons: weird routing choices,
directions not always clear or correct,
weak poi database AND interface
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Very easy to use.
Robust construction, good carry case.
Good value.
Simple clear interface.
Cons: Tricky to clip on to the mount.
Screen could be brighter.
Summary: I bought the Tomtom Go 700 because I wanted to give my partner a break from having to map-read on our holidays. Also because I've always wanted satnav in my car but never had a car with it built in (and the built in ones worried me - what if the one in ... read more
