Great product, with minor annoyances.

"I'm very happy with this GPS unit and it only has a few minor annoyances. 1. I've experienced a random reset, though thankfully nowhere near a turn. 2. Live features work only in the US. I travel between LA and Melbourne, Australia with work. So having the features available there as well would be ideal, even if it required changing a SIM, or a premium rate. 3. The text to speech pronunciation is often..." Read Full Review »

Blinded by the light

"Bought this to replace old Mio GPS. Bought a garmin 285 prior to this, but was unimpressed by its poor directions in Milwaukee. Decided to try the TomTom 740. Out of the box it works great, all functionalities including Live features worked without registration(have a 3 mo trial). Maps were sound, interface was very intuitive, directions were pretty good. The Live features were great, nothing beats looking up a ..." Read Full Review »

"I originally purchased a Tom Tom One 3rd edition as my first GPS. The One is a very bare bones GPS. I wanted an easier GPS to navigate for my wife since the One was hard to distinguish which lane to be in on the freeway at lane divisions. The Lane Guidance feature is great also the IQ-Routes take yo …"  Read Full Review »

"Lengthy list of preferences to go through for first time set-up, but once completed very easy to use. Did not know the device cannot be used in vicinity of a pacemaker until after I got it, which prevents me from using it with some family members in the car. That would have been useful information t …"  Read Full Review »

"This is my first GPS so I'm still learning how and what to expect from my Go740 Live. My first attempt to use the voice recognition was a disaster. A freeway entrance change was not updated so it missed the new exit but quickly re-routed me. My overall impression was good and it made navigating a ve …"  Read Full Review »
