The story is engaging but the style of writing is not the best. I read the books once and will continue to follow the series, but won’t be rereading the books a second time. It IS worth reading one time at least.

A memory card is a must on digital camera. Don’t think that the camera’s internal memory is enough. You’ll use it up so fast.
More GB and a higher class makes a difference. Don’t go too cheapo on the card.

Anything goes spirituality…….Just like every other spiritualist guru Oprah promotes: I’m alright, your alright, we’re all alright. I’m a god, your a god, we’re all are own gods,…collectively. yuk yuk

First I would like to say that is true that you will NOT get the latest maps with this. If you want to have the “Latest Map Guarantee”, then buy a new 720. Using the MapShare does help to overcome the old maps on the GPS.

It is a good size screen and after spending a few minutes with it, I realised that the layout is quite intuitive.

The TomTom desktop software is not the greatest. When using the PC software to interact with the TomTom, it is slow and will eventually stop working. If you are entering favourites or doing more than rudimentary tasks with the TomTom, just undock it and work with it directly.

I did notice that when leaving a large parking lot off a known road, the TomTom seems to either take time to acquire its location or just doesn’t know how to present where you are. This, however, is really minor.

As in other reviews, the battery life is not a long lasting as expected. It would be nice if there was a battery level warning to let you know that the battery is running low. We didn’t realise what was going on until we pulled onto city streets and the computer voice was not saying anything. Once we plugged it in, then all was well in the world again.

Updating the map via the TomTom is simple and intuitive. We were pulling onto Rt 1 in Delaware and the TomTom stated we could make a left onto the divided highway, which we clearly couldn’t. Once we got home, I just made the change and then uploaded it using the supplied software. Pretty cool.

If you live in an area that is mature and doesn’t have a lot of new construction and roads, then this is a great buy.

I can’t give it five stars since it is missing the latest map guarantee. All in all we really do like this GPS and never got lost with it.

Happy trails!
