TomTom FM Transmitter Mount for the Go 510, 710, 910 Review

The hook up is as simple as it gets, just plug & play. The mount is the second-generation style that doesn't droop (at least for me). The transmitter leaves a lot to be desired. I bought this primarily to load up the extra 10+gb on my 910 with music and listen through the car stereo. Unfortunately, the transmitter is rather weak, and I have difficulty getting clear reception in any of my vehicles without some static. However, the tuner frequency is completely adjustable, so although I have tried about a dozen different settings there may be a "magic" one out there which will ultimately give me clear reception. I have 3 other modulators, and the TomTom device doesn't match their performance. It is also necessary to use a pretty high volume on the radio to hear the transmission when listening to music, and it doesn't sound as good as a CD or even standard FM broadcsts, but is about as good as you can expect from an FM modulator. Using the power cord helps transmission a lot, and is recommended by the manufacturer. Overall, excellent integrated design and a good product, but performance issues preclude an excellent rating.
EDIT - DON'T BUY: This thing has turned out to be a piece of plastic trash - mount is broken and the transmitter doesn't work any more. Only used it about 4 times. TomTom customer service is like banging my head against the wall - it felt a lot better after I finally gave up. Don't buy this item. Too bad I can't edit/revise my rating, I'd give it one star.

TomTom Carrying Case and Strap for the GO 720 and 730 GPS Review

Here's the case that is a MUST if you have the TomTom 720. It fits (as the saying goes "like a glove." The sides zipper, and the inside is orange with the inside sides having an elastic on them so that the case does not "flop" open all the way when unzipped. There is a lanyard included that can be put on the one end so enable the case to be carried on your wrist or such.
The case is hard, but not the what I'd call reinforced so that you could expect the case to hold up to several pounds of pressure on it. But it's good to protect against bumps and such, and is better than a soft case.
If you're going to spend the money for a portable GPS, then you need this protective case.
My only negative is that these necessary extras should be included as some other brands do (but with cost this is becoming less). The only other thing I'd advise would be is to purchase a pack of screen protectors (they usually come in a pack of 4 or 5 but you only need to use one then save the rest) and apply it to the screen to protect against finger grease and scratches.
