Announcing the TomTom GO 720
TomTom is pleased to introduce the new TomTom GO 720! The latest product from the world’s largest provider of portable navigation solutions.
Our latest device is the first portable navigation device to feature user-editable maps, courtesy of our new TomTom MapShare™ technology. This first-to-market program lets users make, report, and share map improvements such as closed or renamed roads, moved or renamed points of interest, changed road directions, and more. Users can make changes to their maps right from their GO 720 and can receive other users’ changes by plugging their devices into their computers and using TomTom HOME, TomTom’s free desktop application. All reports will be sent to our new map specialists who will verify new map edits from our users.
Safety is another main focus of our newest car navigator. The GO 720’s innovative Help Me! menu contains information such as the nearest police station, hospital, or car-repair service. Also, the “Where am I” button provides a succinct location description that you can provide to emergency services if you happened to be stranded in an unfamiliar location. The improved hands-free calling and full duplex speaker allows you to call for help directly from the device (when connected to a compatible Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone).
TomTom devices are also designed with an eye to personalization. The GO 720 makes many of your suggestions a reality including the ability to record your own voice directions and create individualized car icons.
Other additions include:
- Built-in FM Transmitter
- Access to real-time traffic data
- Building footprints and recessed bodies of water for better road views
- Branded point of interest icons
So that’s the latest TomTom, but that’s not all. Click to get to know the new TomTom GO 720 better.

I’m really looking forward to the new 720 and especially the new MapShare feature. It looks like TomTom have another winner on their hands. The original press release mentioned an optional RDS-TMC traffic information receiver but I can’t find it on the accessories page. Will there be a RDS-TMC accessory in the United States or is traffic only going to be available using a cell phone?

This is great. Is there any intention to release the software update for the x10 series?

Yes Chris. There will be an RDS-TMC traffic receiver in the United States and it will be compatible with the new GO 720. Please stay tuned to Club TomTom for availability.

Yes indeed andyp. Like all TomTom application updates, the new application - including TomTom MapShare™ - will be made available for free download in the future via TomTom HOME.
