I just got back from my trip to New York for a visit with TomTom at their call center in Watertown. I hope to post more later but for now here are some photos of the new GO 720 that we got to play with along with some specs on the unit:
-Slim form factor, even slimmer than the ONE
-New version 7 software has a new look with some nice new features including MapShare which looks to be a very useful new technology from TomTom allowing users to report map errors right thru their device, in most cases being reflected immediately on their TomTom.
-100's of new branded POI icons.
-Reported 5 hr battery life
-4.3" flat screen
-Bluetooth/Handsfree
-RDS-TMC ready
-Built in FM trasmitter
-MP3 Player
-Text-to-speech
-Adhesive mounting disc for those of us with lawas against windshield mounts
-"Help Me" saftey features
-Car icons (pre loaded and custom)
-Record your own voice!
Price tag expected to be about $499.95 with a probable release date of early August.
Also with the new version 7 software out on this device, it I would think it would be safe to assume that we will all get updates to our devices by the end of the year allowing us all to participate in MapShare.
Ok here are the pictures I snapped while playing with the device. I should be getting a unit to use within the next few weeks (crosses fingers) so I will post a more in-depth review once that happens.
