Hands on with the TomTom GO 720

I've been testing a TomTom GO 720 for the past few weeks, and have updated my post on it with all the details. I really liked the combination of an intuitive interface and lots of options for customization; in that respect, it marries the best of Garmin and Mio. So head on over and check out my TomTom GO 720 review.

Garmin nuvi 760 review The Garmin nuvi 760 is one of the new high-end 700 series of this popular product line, adding the following to an already outstanding feature set: Multi-destination routing Automatic sorting of multiple destinations to provide an efficient route Tracklog recording Speed limit display for many interstates and highways The newer internal antenna found on the nuvi 200 series Automatic marking of your last position when the unit is turned off (to help you find your car in mega-mall parking lots) A "Where am I" safety feature that gives your current location, nearest address, nearest intersection, along with quick access to POIs for the nearest hospitals, police stations and gas stations The nuvi 760 adds all those features to the ones found on the nuvi 660. Stepping up to the nuvi 780 adds MSN Direct (available as an add on option for the 760). Going the other direction, the nuvi 750 loses the 760's Bluetooth feature and included traffic receiver. Compare prices on the Garmin nuvi 760 The ever-expanding nuvi line can be quite confusing. Check out our Garmin nuvi comparison chart for help determining which model best suits your needs.
