Agree but it's buggy and crap in France

Agree with the review mostly but having just put it's big brother the 730T through it's paces in Europe I love the features, just wish it wouldn't crash as often. I've had a constant reboot cycle on it until it was reset. I've had bluetooth bail out and not put any sound through the speakers (reset again). I've had voices say they're not available (this apparently is due to the Mac application that allows you to control the unit from your PC). Maps for France are questionable and inconsistent: It swore blind the empty motorway we were on was there but the fastest route was to come off and go on minor roads. In France we had unexplained detours off main roads etc. TomTom keep telling me to run a disk repair everytime I complain but I'm so bored of doing that I'm putting up with the bugs. Night mode doesn't always come on too... I could go on.

Actually having said that it's the best unit I've ever had so I put up with the crap. Check out the TomTom forums, I'm not the only one. Be warned...
