    Looks like a good deal. Too bad I already have a old GPS that I rarely use now, except on a field trip.
    Any new features on this one over the 720?
    Is the voice command built into this unit?

    I recently returned one after using it for a week. The TTS is iffy, FM transmitter proves useless, and most importantly it doesn't tell the side of the street my destination lies on.

    I'm with ya #5 -- just got a GO 720 this week and am very disappointed. The text-to-speech is often not understandable. It also doesn't speak at the optimal times compared to when the Garmin units speak. The FM transmitter IS completely useless (literally could hear NOTHING with it). And also it really only gets you "close" to your destination -- where as Garmin units get you TO your destination more often than not. Very disappointed all in all. The only cool features it has over Garmin are the correctable map (if you want to take the time), custom voices (that don't speak the street names), and the "route avoidances" (which work but not as well as I had hoped). Back to my old reliable Garmin 360 for me.
