I love the technology of the 720. I just recently purchased it to replace my old Garmin Streetpilot 340. I have found the maps pretty good so far and the features pretty cool...the ipod connect feature is awesome! The problems I've had (and I think others on here) is the POI database loaded is pathetic. My garmin was like the yellow pages compared to this and this is frustrating as hell! I don't want to have to upload hundreds of tiny files so I can get every department store, restaurant and gas station around. ***I have my original map software from my Garmin. DOES ANYONE HERE KNOW IF I CAN CONVERT MY GARMIN POI DATABASE TO MY GO 720? If so I'd very much appreciate the help/suggestions! :-) Steve - (Boston Area) bikercubma@yahoo.com

I've got the GO 930 and my POI database is solid. You can always update more POI sets from TomTom Home if you want more on your 720
