Holiday Gift Guide Highlight: TomTom GO 720
I wanted to highlight the TomTom GO 720 today – a higher end pick from my Holiday GPS Gift Guide. The TomTom GO 720 was just recently launched and comes in above the TomTom ONE line with some premium features that make life nice. With the $100 off through the TomTom GiveGive program, the price is pretty nice on these units these days (Usually a $100 instant rebate/price rollback).
The TomTom GO 720 offers Bluetooth Handsfree capability, Text to Speech (TTS), in a widescreen unit with a high sensitivity GPS chipset. The TomTom GO also offers the ability to record your own voice for the turn prompts. It will walk you through the 50 or so prompts that you can record, and then use as an added (non-TTS) “voice” to guide you. Very fun and pretty easy. The TomTom GO 720 also has a couple of features that can make it a pretty good bet.
Help Me! is a button that gets you quickly to a list of emergency places with information you may need in case they need to find you.
MapShare is a program that allows you to make minor changes to the maps on your unit and share them with the larger community. The changes are policed and you should benefit from these changes as more and more users come online and connect up to make the world a better-mapped place.

The "super deal" of the month is NOT the 720, but the $399 price at Costco.com on the 720's "big brother"; the GO 920! This price is only valid from 11-26 to 12-10. I placed my order at 8 AM on Cyber Monday, and just got notice that I will receive it (via express shipping)on 11-29.
We head to Europe on Dec. 10th for a XMass vacation, and this unit will be just the ticket! for clear and safe driving!
