Basil Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Hi bigal, Thanks, yes I saw that after I had ordered mine I also found it cheaper still for £170.17p at http://www.globalpositioningsystems.co.uk./new-from-tomtom-go-520-720-one-xl-rider-v2.html?PHPSESSID=5cfec1d29b9c45a4b5db01a5f86e98bd both Halfords and this one were dearer at the time I posted, prices seem very fluid at the moment, however I was happy with the price and service I got. No point in getting the 720T as you can get the TMC attachment (it is only in the box with the 'T') less than the difference in the price of the 720 and the 720T.

Hughmer Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Bas Could you provide more info re the TMC attachment? The price diff between 720 & 720 T is about £30 but I can't find a TMC attachment for less than about £50. Perhaps I'm looking for the wrong thing. Could you point in right direction please?

The price diff between 720 & 720 T is about £30 but I can't find a TMC attachment for less than about £50. Perhaps I'm looking for the wrong thing. Could you point in right direction please? Hi Hugh, At the time I was looking the difference was around £45, but with the on going price cutting (the 720 is available for as low as £169 now) that has no doubt made the differential smaller. Currently the TMC plug in is out of stock at the cheapest, at the time, on line outlet where I got mine with my 720 i.e. E-buyer where it was £29.01 inc vat on 27 december pp free, however looking today it is not listed so therefore out of stock presumably. Global Positioning Systems have it listed but also not stock and is priced at £39.96, which is also less than the £50 you have seen it for. Amazon have them in stock at £33.67 pp free. Hope that helps a bit. Bas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughmer Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Talk about a fluid situation. Since I looked at the 720T 4 days ago, Halfords have reduced it further - now only £202 but only available via http://www.find-satnav-deals.com/ and other price comparison sites, - their own site has a higher price. interestinger and interestinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hi Hugh, Yes it is interesting. It seems that Halfords and Dixons are having a price war with these, though Halfords are currently out of stock of the 720T by the look. Makes you think though that the likes of Tesco are now £100 dearer on the 720 and that Dixons are cheapest for the 720T. As an aside having now tried the TMC attachment, I have to say that I am underwhelmed. Although it is the latest incarnation that is supposed to be improved over the much critisised earlier version, it is not very sensitive and I am not at all convinced of its worth at the moment. Placing it next to the 'A' pillar as suggested in the instructions makes it even less sensitive and its position on the windscreen is starting to impinge on vision. If I knew what I know now I am not sure I would bother, I am seriously considering returning it as 'not fit for purpose', one advantage of buying it seperately I suppose!

Hughmer Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Very useful info thanks Bas. Hope you don't get lumbered with the receiver. At about the same time you were posting I read a review on line with much the same comment. Looks like TT have improvements to make. Meanwhile with Christmas present money burning a hole in my pocket: - " to buy or not to buy, - that is the question " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hi Hugh, I would certainly Go (pun intended (lol) ) for the 720, is quite impressive as is the Tom Tom Home up dating etc., though although it is not made clear when you buy it, the Safety (?) Camera Database is a one off update and annually chargeable thereafter at £4.95 with a code number, though I suppose that is not to onerous!! But the machine especially at the now vastly reduced price is IMO good. Bas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
