I recently bought a tomtom go 750 which is the 2nd to the top of the new range. It appears that the map data can't encode the concept of "local traffic only" and it has a bad habit of preferring right turns over left turns which isn't so good if drive on the left. I bought a traffic receiver but its not supported by the 750 according to their technical support but its still listed on the web site and the software even offers instructions for plugging it in. Many of the extra add on "hacks" don't work with the newest software either which was another reason I bought the tomtom. The menu structure seems to be faster unless you make a mistake since they left out a lot of the "back" buttons. The thing has a itinerary planning feature but it is very hard to use and its not clear how to skip points. It would be nice to have times associated with events to let it figure out which order make the more sense but it can't cope with that. The reading of names is also very bad since it reads "State Route 23" as "S T E T twenty three". The 750 voice control is absolutely useless as seems to want you to speak with the same accent as the computer voice you select.
