4.0 out of 5 stars Very good unit, but...., 12 Jun 2008
By A. Currah "gabblerachet" (Salisbury, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My 3 previous units have been Garmins and until my last one (A Nuvi 610T. Look at my review on the relevent page) I was very happy with them. After using a Tomtom for a while while my Nuvi was off for repair (again), I must say I was very impressed.
However there is one point where the Nuvi beats the 730 hands down (and probably all Tomtom`s), and that is in the screen brightness. The Nuvi, even with full sunlight streaming on it remained perfectly clear and bright, and that was with the backlight only set to 80%. It was quite a disappointment going back to an "old tech" screen, having to hold a hand over it to shield it from the sun to be able to see it. A few smudgy finger marks only adds to the problem. Sunlight readable screens are mainstream now, not just the preserve of the marine and aviation markets, so there is little excuse in my opinion!
Apart from this issue (which Tomtom must address if they want to hold on to my custom in future!) it is a very impressive satnav, with a wealth of well thought out useful features.
So come on Tomtom, sort out the screen brightness and make a very good unit a superb one!

4.0 out of 5 stars TomTom GO 730T, 2 Jul 2008
I had (and still have) a GO 700 but as the windscreen mount was on it's last legs (having been glued back together a few months ago) and the maps outdated I decided to upgrade to a 730T instead of buying a new mount and maps. It's a decision I don't regret especially as I paid less than £220 thanks to accumulated Amazon vouchers.

It is certainly superior to the GO 700 and the additional features - lane guidance, Q route, MP3 facility etc are all very useful. The only feature I haven't used yet is the RDS traffic which I believe can be quite patchy but this is not unique to TomTom. GPS reception is superb, locating my position almost instantly.

I only have one major criticism (hence the 4 stars)and that is the screen brightness, which as in all previous TomToms, is pretty pathetic considering the screen technology available these days. In bright sunshine the screen is very difficult or impossible to see. Another more minor fault is the short screen mount which on modern cars leaves the TomTom almost out of reach. I intend to get round this by purchasing dashboard mounting discs and this in fact may assist screen visibility as well by bringing the device further into the car. Despite these niggles I am very pleased with this bit of kit.

5.0 out of 5 stars IQ routes huge improvement, but you can upgrade your 720 for less, 22 Oct 2008
By Martin Turner "Martin Turner" (Birmingham, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
The TomTom Go 730T is a highly functional and fully featured SatNav with additional phone and music facilities. It is very substantially better than previous models, but its direct predecessor, the TomTom Go 720 Traffic Edition, can be upgraded to the same level by buying the new maps and using the free software upgrade from TomTom. Although its additional features vary in performance, this is still a product that will save its own price in petrol fairly quickly if you drive a lot to places you don't know well.

The key difference between the 730T and its predecessor the 720T is the inclusion of IQ Routes, an (allegedly) much more intelligent way to plan routes, based on time of day. The 730T differs from the TomTom GO 730 in that it has traffic information through the included traffic aerial. In the West Midlands, I find this to be very helpful, but comments from users across the country suggest that coverage is patchy. Traffic HD, a much better, but paid for service, is now available on the TomTom GO 740 LIVE by monthly subscription. However, unlike the first issue in the Netherlands, it now appears that you won't be able to buy an upgrade for your existing device. The 730 scores over the lower models in that it has built in blue-tooth for complete hands free phone use (generally works, but some connections to some networks in some areas are basically unuseable) and an FM transmitter for playing music through your car stereo. To use this, buy an SD card and put the songs on that - if you try to connect an iPod with the special iPod connector cable, you discover that you can't use the Traffic attachment, since they share the same socket. I have searched in vain for a splitter, or even a switch. Nobody seems to make one. The unit also benefits from voice activation, which works for me but not for everyone, and (as they say) numerous other refinements.

If the main difference from the previous model is IQ Routes, then how good are they?
Well, basically, they are much better, but this is a result of better overall information, rather than the flagship change of route based on time of day* (see update below). It turns out that, in the current implementation, the unit only distinguishes between weekdays and weekends. That said, the routes it now chooses are much, much more intelligent, especially in crowded towns. Previously, the TomTom looked at the speed limit and class of road, and assigned a path on that basis, thereby often taking you through the most congested places (occupied by lots of other drivers with TomToms on their windscreens). Now, because the routes are based on real average speeds, the unit frequently chooses the route that an experienced driver would take through streets they know well. This is really much, much better, and I find myself now rarely choosing 'Shortest Route' to avoid being taken by the slowest possible route at rush-hour.
However, if you already own a 720T, you can get the software upgrade for nothing, and simply buying an up to date map will give you the maps which make it work. A much cheaper option, and one which renders your investment quite nicely.
IQ routes also gives you better lane information on the motorway. I haven't really found this to be a great improvement, but I'm sure it will come in handy at some point.

If you are upgrading from the 710, then you need to know that the 730 (and the 720, for that matter), are very, very different. The overall form is much slimmer, and will fit in a coat pocket, but there is no electronics in the mount, so you have to plug it all in again. I actually opted for a built in mount this time, which TomTom advertises, and am much happier, since it also means there is no tell-tale ring on the windscreen, and the mount itself looks like nothing in particular. Slightly less helpfully, the unit seems more prone to software problems than the 710 was, so see the caveat at the bottom of this review.

As you can see, there are quite a few flaws with the 730T. So why am I giving it five stars? Ultimately, despite the patchy traffic coverage, the not entirely reliable Bluetooth phone link, and the extremely unintelligent way in which you can either have Traffic, or the iPod, but not both at once, this is still a superb piece of kit which will save you its price in petrol fairly quickly, and will also keep you on the right side of the law as far as receiving calls while you are driving. The Traffic information saved me a couple of hours just last week. If you don't have SatNav, or if you have a TomTom model older than the 720, then I would strongly recommend this.

--

Caveat
If your TomTom should crash, or need resetting, you should plug it into a computer as soon as possible and check the disk (instructions are available for both Mac and PC on the TomTom website), and, to be on the safe side, also reset the flash memory. If you don't do this, it will freeze up with increasing frequency, requiring more and more resets, each of which damages the apparently fragile disk structure. If you repair the disk regularly, the unit is highly reliable. If you don't, it's fairly flakey.

--
* Update
This week I received the latest maps from TomTom, and the software is now date and time aware, rather than just week-day or weekend, as it was previously. Exactly how different the routes are for particular times and days is something I am waiting to discover. However, it seems that TomTom is using the anonymised data that they started requesting about a year ago (which you can switch off if you don't trust them) to constantly improve the maps and routes.
