Customer Review: Printing is difficult
This product is fine if you do not want to print your map. I created a territory and added locations via the pushpins. At a lower zoom level, my pushpins overlap and are unreadable. I wanted to print the whole territory at a certain zoom level to allow veiwing of all the pushpins without overlap onto however many pages it takes. This is not possible. It will only print what you see on your screen. If you want to print your whole map, you literally have to save your screen view into a graphic file, scroll to the next area, save it as well and repeat until you have saved your entire territory. Once you have saved the whole map in peices, you can print all your files and tape them together to make one big map. Ridiculous!!
Customer Review: Great Tools
There is a lot of meat to this product; identify drive times from a certain location, overlay income or other demographic info and convert selected areas into zip codes and export to Excel. Export maps in Word with push pins showing the location of important locations for others without MapPoint. Not particularly easy to learn and the book MapPoint for Dummies is an earlier version. Still, its a powerful program with great tools.

TomTom Go 720 is a high end navigational device that is turning out to be the perfect travel companion as well as car accessory for many people. This very perceptive GPS device uses satellite signals to decode the position of the user. This feature is of special importance for frequent travelers and people on the move. The information related to directions and positioning is accurate. The gadget is powerful in its capabilities as well as easy to use. For instance, as a user, you can use it in the handsfree mode - something that would give you greater flexibility in maneuvering your vehicle on busy roads.

The menu is quite easy to use, which was a big help to me, since I'm no gadget enthusiast... One very important feature of this gadget is "Map share," wherein potential users can update maps of different locations. The updates are properly verified before being made a part of the shared pool of resources.

The TomTom Go 720 has several merits to its credit. The quality of the maps conforms to global standards, for one. A clear screen and high-end speakers ensure that the experience of using this navigational system is one of its kinds. The instructions that are delivered are written as well as verbal - and so there is no miscommunication between the device and its user. And the best part is that as a user, you can change the voice according to your personal preference. Of course, you have to pay a price for the change. With efficient route allocation and special options such as traffic updates, the gadget is perfect for people on the move.

And if you thought that it cannot get better, then you are highly mistaken. A number of highly interesting innovative features such as an MP3 player and Bluetooth connectivity make the TomTom Go 720 a perfect traveling companion. Last but not the least, the battery life is good. Moreover, there is a car power cable that becomes important when one is going on a long vacation or getaway. On the whole, I believe that it is a real blessing for travelers who need to explore various destinations.
