TOMTOM Go 730 GPS for Europe

By Roebuck (pixmania.co.uk) Read the full review

This is my first sat nav and I'm generally pleased with it. It does take some time to set it up and the user manual is quite lengthy. Have only used this on local journeys upto now but with no problems in getting to my destination. Only downside is...

TOMTOM Go 730 GPS for Europe

By a consumer (pixmania.co.uk) Read the full review

We absolutely love our new tomtom. Only problem we had was when we first got the satnav we were told there were new maps available. So we went to upload them, which took 2 hours, then at the end of the 2 hours, it said it had failed to update as there...

Neat bit of kit, nice size screen

TOMTOM Go 730 GPS for Europe

By fethullah arslan (pixmania.co.uk) Read the full review

It is worth the money. I recommend to buy a different handle for the window because the one I got is hard to stick the tomtom to front window of the car.

31 countries which is good for europe use.Easy to use.Bluetooth function is good while driving

The speaker makes a bit noise

Will this get you from A to B?

All in all, this is TomTom doing what it does best. As a navigation solution, we think this is the best around, but this could be said of the offerings much further down the range, with a great range of options to ensure your journey goes as smoothly...

All in all, this is TomTom doing what it does best. As a navigation solution, we think this is the best around, but this could be said of the offerings much further down the range, with a great range of options to ensure your journey goes as smoothly...

But do all the extra features make it a worthwhile purchase and justify that premium price?

TomTom GO 730 review

By Tim Greene (pcadvisor.co.uk)

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.

More than 'just' a satnav, the TomTom GO 730 is a great gadget for your car.

TomTom Go 730 Traffic

By (techradar.com)

You'll be able to use the 730 as a hands-free kit, thanks to Bluetooth, and Voice Address Input lets you easily select your destination

Accurate and easy to follow maps ; Helpful features ; Great screen ; Compact and slim

No hardware button to adjust volume

The TomTom Go 730 is an excellent sat-nav overall, proving easy to use, accurate and good value for money

TomTom GO 730 Traffic

By Vincent Lheur (digitalversus.com)

IQ Routes technology to optimize travel ; FM receiver ; Software is very practical to use ; Reactivity

Limitation of IQ Routes to only weekdays or the week-end ; The direction of radars is not always taken into account

Worthy successor to the Go 720 T, the GO 730 Traffic especially sets itself apart with the addition of IQ Routes which optimizes trips by taking into account the actual average speeds on roads.

TomTom GO 730

By Ross Catanzariti (goodgearguide.com.au)

A refresh rather than a completely new model, TomTom's GO 730 takes everything we enjoyed about the GO 720 and adds a few excellent software features....

IQ Routes technology, advanced lane guidance, text-to-speech, Bluetooth, Map Share, Help Me menu

No AC charger included, No EPT, voice address input is hit and miss

TomTom’s latest addition to the navigation market continues the company’s fine form when it comes to the user experience. The GO 730 adds some excellent software features to a package that we've come to know and love.
