Reviews:
“TomTom’s traffic quality is very good, and they clearly have the infrastructure and partnerships to continue to develop a better service. Your choice is to decide if the service is worth enough to fork over about $10 a month for the subscription.” – gpslodge.com
“Lastly, if you think this word picture doesn’t match a 4-star rating, realize that I am leaving out much of what made TomTom a threat to Garmin. TomTom has a lot of things right and I’d only be regurgitating all the positive things you could read on the GO730 and GO720 reviews.” – Amazon
“Anyway, I still find the TomTom UI the best thought out and the 740Live doesn’t disappoint here. I’m sure the problems I’m having are teething issues – however, if you want a rock solid experience and want to rely on the traffic service … I’d wait.” – Amazon
“Gizmodo: Why TomTom sucks
TomTom’s latest Go 740 Live is piled with features, but I’ve tested TomToms for five years, and in that time, nobody has fixed the platform’s inherent problems. In fact they’re only getting worse.” – Gizmodo“The TomTom GO 740 Live puts a tremendous amount of information at your fingertips and makes it easy to access and process it all from the driver’s seat.” – CNET

Don’t buy this, I did and I returned it the next day. I got a Garmin instead and I see no reason so spend this much money on the go 740 when you can almost any gps from garmin that will deliver a so much better user experience then this.
