Digital camera reviews of TomTom GO 740 Live 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable Live Internet Connected GPS Navigator
Digital camera Review: $250 paper weight
Summary: 1 Stars
The Tom Tom Go Live 740 is a waste of money. $250 paper weight. It seemed to work ok when I first got it even though it had may home address located another 1 1/2 blocks away. After several software updates & 1 or 2 free map updates, it got worse. A major interchange on I-10 near Mobile, AL doesn't even show up. CS was happy to tell me how to fix it myself. Lot of addresses don't show up, it couldn't find DisneyWorld!!!! Couldn't find Hwy 431 in Columbia TN & this is a major highway not a county road, etc.
Street names often are listed differently. Example Olive Rd is listed as Hwy. xx in Pensacola.
Just took a trip to Nashville, TN it worked well until we got to Nashville & suddenly it rebooted. By the time it was back up, we were at our destination. Luckily I lived there & knew my way around. On way back home, it rebooted again & would not connect to the satellites even after I rebooted it several times.
The bluetooth works pretty good.
Can not delete individual recent destinations, it is all or nothing.
Sometimes the live services work ok, but not worth the $10 per month. Gas locator is usually old prices. If you don't know area it can cause you to backtrack. I chose a station listed as cheapest in area, & it wanted me to turn around & go back 13 miles the wrong way.
The voice feature works ok, but it repeats the instructions to many times so I turn sound off. It doesn't always understand your voice commands either. I laugh at it when it chokes trying to pronounce certain names.
Lots of options of map colors & voices etc.
Here is the part Tom Tom doesn't tell you about, map updates. You have to update maps every time they are available, not when you want to, say every 6 months. If you don't but each map, then when you do want to update, you have to buy the previous map, before you can update to the latest one. They sent me an e-mail I could get 1 1/2 year updates for $39 total. That is 6 maps, which was a great deal, but I would have to buy an additional latest update first, for around $45, which would be $95 total. I don't think roads change enough to need a new map more than 1 or 2 times a year at most.
This is my GPS & I trusted Consumer Reports, since it was on their Best Buy list. I researched them as much as I could. In stores, you can only try them out a little, no instructions to help you with them & most can not pick up satellites inside the store. Forget sales people, they don't know much about the products.
The wind shield mount is nice.
Can't think of many positive things to say about Tom Tom other than I won't buy another one. Have not tried the MP3 player or photos.
