This isn’t a review of the product but a warning. I tried buying this refurbished unit on Amazon. It showed in stock. I placed the order on a Friday with 2 day shipping as part of the Amazon Prime trial. By Tuesday it still hadn’t shipped. I ordered a Tomtom Ipod cable to go with it which I received right away. I eventually canceled my order because Amazon customer service couldn’t explain the delay in shipping, and couldn’t tell me when the item would ship.

Dead on arrival. Worked for 4 minutes.
Others complaining of OLD MAP technology with costly update. New ones come with map guarantee. The refurbished models (aside from being junk) do not have free map update.
TOMTOM support (in India) was hardly helpful. I waited on hold for nearly 30 minutes, to get told the same thing I had already tried, even though it said to call customer support if it did not work.
I cannot recommend this product and wish I would have purchased the Garmin 760 instead.

I brought this GPS to upgrade my Garmin 260W. It has good features but not worthy.
Street names are not clearly spelt. Always mislead while taking exits. (eg. 265A prompt as 265B)
Speed limit indicator always malfunction. It will show speed limit only in highways.
Lane assistant is good but it will slowdown your GPS.
Not at all user friendly.
Only this I like is it will lock satellite quickly and shows number of satellites.
I am waiting for Garmin to launch a GPS with speed limit indicator with voice alert.
Not Recommended.

WARNING: Refurbished units are not eligible for the latest maps guarantee!
Be prepared to spend an additional $50 for the latest maps. This information isn’t on the product page, nor is it on TomTom’s website.
If I update the maps, the cost of a refurbished product is only $50 less than a brand new product. It’s better to buy a new 730, get new maps and an additional 6 months of warranty coverage.
The snotty support rep stated “You don’t need to latest maps; it’s your choice to spend the money to upgrade.” The choice I made is buy a Garmin. TomTom doesn’t deserve my money.
