Tomtom GO 720 GPS Receiver Questions & Answers
I need to program my TomTom 720 as everything was deleted off the device
When the navigation software was replaced, you need to validate / activate the map (previously on your device) again.
If your map subscription is (still) valid, you can download a new version of the map and activate it. Otherwise, you'll have to purchase a map (or yearly) subscription, to get the map to use.
How to find the route instruction on tomtom go
Assuming you already have specified where you wish to go, and the device shows the map (of your current location) on the screen,
