TomTom GO 730 Reviews, User Feedback and Details

Actual TomTom 730 User Feedback:

“I like the IQ smart routing. TomTom allows you to chose a city as a waypoint so you force it to go a certain way, and it doesn’t drive you into the center of town the way my Garmin did.

The advanced lane change feature works okay, I have used it in Fort Worth, Amarillo and Colorado Springs. I would guess it will improve over time, since it relies on user feedback.

However, TomTom does show the lanes in the lower left corner of the screen anyways which I find very useful.”

Actual TomTom 730 user review on POI-factory.com forum

“Includes IQ routes which works similarly to the Dash. They gather speed information from other TomTom users on every road, and then use it to determine the fastest route based on real data and not just speed limits.

If a certain route is known to have a low average speed at a certain time of day, the GO 730 will route you around that road to avoid the potential slow moving traffic.”

“We almost returned the unit because the screen is so hard to read in sunlight without some type of shade.

We compared the 730 directly with the Garmin 770 and the Garmin nuvi found more points of interest around us and the screen was easier to see in direct sun.

However we finally kept the Tomtom because it calculated routes much faster and allowed us to reroute around a single road.

The Garmin doesn’t give you any control and reroutes the whole route – this was the deal breaker for us.”
