Just received mine through the post. Quite a leap forward for me, my previous unit was a 300.

Anyone else got one yet?

Anyone got one of the new bluetooth remotes for the TT520 or 720 yet. Can't find anywhere with one in stock. Any tips as to where I might find one?

unless I'm missing something the remotes seem a little pointless

Thats what I thought until I tried one. Its so much easier to operate the Sat Nav safely from an intuitive remote rather than leaning forward dangerously to operate via the touch screen controls. I guess being 6 foot 2 it means I have to lean qute a distance to reach a screen mounted TT. Having tried both systems, I think its downright scary fiddling with the touch screen now. Each to their own and I would have agreed until I tried using a TT 710 with a remote.

I had a play with one earlier at work. They are very nice units, much better than the 660 imo.
Highly recommended!

Just plugged mine into my PC and it freezes the mouse and i have to restart the computer and reset the mouse . Also as soon as i plug it into my laptop it immediately turns the laptop off.

Anyone else had similar?

Can anyone advise whether you are able to pre-plan a route with the TT720 using via points etc?

Cheers, Mark
