## Description

TomTom GO Deluxe Carrying Case

Review: Works out of the box! - Reading through these other reviews I was a bit unsure about ordering this thing. The fact is that the product works, no subscription necessary. The reviewer who claimed that one needed one... how did you come to that conclusion?? I used this on a 720go, and it gets the traffic info it was supposed to. I believe TomTom at some point sold these antennas with lifetime "subscription". Now, the "subscription" isnt really a subscription, it's simply a code needed to enable your antenna so it actually works. Supposedly the newer ones Tomtom sells nowadays, needs a $60 yearly fee/subscription, which they found much more profitable. Hence why they discontinued these units. I guess these units are a "get them while they last" type of item, and I can vouch that it actually works. Now for how long, I do not know. Even if it is only one year, it's still way cheaper than a 1 year subscription. Note that you TomTom gps unit needs to be enabled/prepared for a tmc antenna to begin with though. The cheapest ones isnt. Tomtoms support website could possibly give that info. The uploaded pics is what your getting. Look closely if that will fit your unit. EDIT: Now it's almost 4 years later, and it still works. I never paid a subscription for it.
Review: Wrong one! - I received the wrong one,but had ordered the correct one.I e-mailed desertcart,you sent it to DealsRU.They e-mailed me,and said that happened at times,but they didn't carry the one I needed. So, I guess they just sent what they had on hand.I was really upset as they said,I could return it. After it was received,they would send a refund minus a 20% restocking fee,plus I would lose $3.99 in shipping.I didn't respond to that,because they knew the part wouldn't work.I will never trust anyone besides desertcart again,if you don't have what I need,I'll look elsewhere. Thank you,Freda Reed

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Value
*by J***N on August 27, 2010*

I have a tomtom GO 730 and this receiver works great with it. I was skeptical at first because it was so cheap. I live in MN and I always have a good signal. There are a few times when I didn't believe the GPS, but it was right about the traffic and there I sat. The delays are not always accurate. It might tell you there is a 1 or 2 minute delay, but it is sometimes longer. I am not sure if this is the fault of the GPS unit or the data transmitted (I would assume the data). It seems to only have traffic info for major roads, at least in my area. It also doesn't seem to account for traffic lights. For the price I don't see how you can go wrong. It is 1 1/2 times the month service fee of Tom Tom's traffic service and there is no guarantee that is any better. Like one of the other posters said, the connector pin is straight so I had to adjust the height of my GPS unit off the dash. I wish it had and angle connector, but oh well.
