Hi
can you tell me? If I push the reset button, can I lost my personal information in a Tomtom go 720?

Hi, I've used the reset button on my Go 730 many times, also on my last TomTom which was a Go 920 and have never lost any data, neither personal nor resident Tomtom files so it's been safe for me.

The units run Linux as an operating system, similar to your broadband router at home. Like any computer, the odd glitch or software bug can cause freezes and abnormal behavior... hence the magic reset button.
Pushing the button normally does a 'soft reset' leaving settings you have made intact. Some units have a 'hard reset' mode, normally involving holding the reset button in for a given period of time or starting the unit with the button pressed. The latter can cause a reset to factory defaults.
In 99% of cases a single push of the reset button gets everything going again.
