Richard, North West , “bald middle aged driver”

+ Good design. Functionality very good Easy to use, can be customised - to a degree. Update (download) turned out to be very robust and restartablew

- Free map update was 2 Gb, a 3 hour download which was not expected. This failed and it wss not clear how to re-start or even it it could be. (I did manage it though)

Anonymous verified purchaser , “Use it for work”

+ Can't think of any!

- The GO730 was bought as a replacement for my old and very accurate GO710. The accuracy of the GO730 is rubbish. I'm usually very lucky if it gets me to te right town, let alone the right street. So far to date, it has never got me closer than approx 150m from my chosen destination. This product is a complete waste of money and is not fit for the purpose that it was intended! Battery life is crap, and the windscreen mount has already failed!

Chris, Derby

+ Good clear instructions. Much better design than previous model.
Easy to use.

- Voice a bit tinny.
Maps, even with one "free map update" a little behind the times (especially Bristol!)
Window sticker attachment better but still a bit dodgy.

Expert reviews for TomTom Go 730 Europe

PC Advisor expert review - by Tim Greene

From a very easy installation, to its built-in intelligence, the TomTom GO 730 delivers a navigation system that is far more than a multimedia presentation of how to get from point A to point B.

Product Features

Type	In-Car

Traffic Message Channel (TMC)	No

Bluetooth is a technology for the wireless transfer of data such as contacts, photos and music between mobile phones, computers and a host of other Bluetooth enabled devices. Read more about Bluetooth on Wikipedia
Voice Control	No
A voice control function allows you to talk to the Satellite Navigation system and give it instructions. This can be very helpful when driving as it allows you to maintain full focus on the road.
Map Coverage	Europe
Satellite Navigation systems normally come pre-loaded with a map that covers a portion of the world. Look for UK map coverage if you plan to only use your GPS in the United Kingdom.
Screen Size in Inches	4.3

The size of the device in millimetres, in width x height x depth.

Weight (g)	220
The weight of the product in grams.
Memory Card Slot	Yes
Having a memory card slot allows you to save data to a memory card and then transfer it to another device. For example you may put a photo from your camera or mobile phone onto a memory card and then plug it into your printer to print directly. Memory card slots come in many formats: Compact Flash Card Memory Stick Duo Micro SD Card MMC SD Card SDHC Card
Built-in Camera	No
Some GPS products come with a built in digital camera that allows you to photograph the place you are at and then add it to your map. Next time you wish to visit that place you just tap the image and the Satellite Navigation system plots a route. This is great if you don’t want to have to remember street names.
Spoken Directions	Yes
Some Sat Nav systems have a range of voices that clearly speak directions to you as you approach your next waypoint. This is extremely helpful when you need to concentrate on driving, especially in busy cities or areas you are not familiar with.
Speed Camera Warning	Yes
If the Satellite Navigation device comes with speed camera warning built in it will alert you whenever you are approaching a speed camera.
Windscreen Mountable	Yes
If the Sat Nav is windscreen mountable it will come with an arm and a suction pad. Being able to mount your Satellite Navigation device on a windscreen is important as it offers greater visibility and as a result less distraction whilst you’re driving.
WiFi	No
Wifi allows you to connect your device to wireless routers or modems which allows you to connect to broadband internet.
MP4 Playback	No
MP4 is a video format, a bit like MP3 for video. Simply speaking, an MP4 player is an MP3 player that can play common video formats like MP4.
Release Date	16 May 2008
The date the product was originally made available for purchase.
USB Port	No
Socket for connecting devices such as a computers and other components
Map Storage Medium	On board Flash Memory
The maps used to navigate using a Sat Nav are large and need to be stored on the device. They can either be stored using on board memory or using a memory card. A memory card is removable making it easier to transfer files to and from your satellite navigation device.
