TomTom Go 730
Verdict
Cheaper and just as capable as the Go 930 - simply the best satnav on the market, bar none.
Review Date: 1 Jul 2008
Price when reviewed: (£250 inc VAT)
Overall Rating



The TT hardware works OK but the suction cup attachment is inadequate and don't buy a refurbished TomTom. When they say factory refurbished, they mean it was returned to the factory to fix the broken HARDWARE but they DID NOT UPDATE the original dated map software (mine was 18 months old when I received it). It will cost more to purchase the map update than if purchased new with current maps. The other disadvantage with a refurbed TT is that you only get half the warranty. This is precisely the situation with my purchase. This is my second TT and when I wrote the company about the price disconnect between buying new vs. refurbed, they blew me off three times. Bottom Line: If this is how they treat loyal repeat customers, it is the last they will see of me--next time I will buy a Garmin.
Remember: Refurbished means HARDWARE ONLY, software will be old/outdated and the warranty will be reduced as well.

TT Refurbs
I just received my GO 520 re-furb, and hooked it up to TT Home and it updated/downloaded both the application and the maps free of charge. Plus 1yr warranty which I thought was standard.
