TomTom GO 720 unveiled

July 27th, 2007

There is a new personal navigation device from TomTom, and this time it comes in the form of the TomTom GO 720. This device boasts user-editable maps, enabling users to make, report, and share map improvements so that everyone will have the most updated maps possible where events such as closed or renamed roads won’t faze the user. All the user needs to do is plug their GO 720 into a computer and head on towards TomTom HOME, where map specialists weed out the truth from false entries for verification purposes before the latest maps are available for your download. Additional features include an integrated FM transmitter, Bluetooth connectivity, access to real-time traffic data, building footprints, and branded Points of Interest icons. Concerted user efforts make much more sense than employing people to regularly scout out what changes are there in current maps.
