Great Product

"First off I've got to say I was a little hesitant to order a refurbished product. But since it comes with the full 1 year warranty I figured there wasn't much too lose. I ordered the tomtom 720 on a Thursday and received it the following Monday. I opened it up and it looked great. First time using it I found it to be very simple and easy to operate. The software works great with a ton of free options to download..." Read Full Review »

Could be so much better!

"I ordered the 720 as a refurbished product after some research. It arrived in great shape cosmetically, I charged it overnight, and rudimentary setup was easy. But it was a matter of minutes before the battery indicator showed a half charge. Within about 35 minutes, it was flashing a low battery warning. I tried another overnight charge from a different charger, and got more of the same the next day. TomTom..." Read Full Review »
