In a crowded field of automotive GPS devices, the TomTom GO 720 is a hot rod: Loads of memory and a fast processor make for stress-free map browsing. But it's also one of the easiest units to operate, with a big, bright touchscreen and nifty features like "Where am I?" (which doles out current-location and nearest-intersection info you can read to a 911 dispatcher in an emergency). The 720 warns when you're speeding or approaching a school zone, and an FM transmitter lets you broadcast audio to your car stereo. And, of course, you get the latest maps of the US and Canada, plus an SD card slot to add locales.
