TomTom GO 920 Portable GPS Vehicle NavigatorUser Review: - greatWe have just moved to CT where it is very hilly and the roads have no logic. The Tom Tom has helped us find our way from point A to B. It quickly recalulates new directions when we take a wrong turn. Have not lost the signal unless we venture into NY and go underground for a while. My only complaint is there is no standby button to push when you are at your destination and are going somewhere you know how to get to. The only way to shut off the computer is to turn it off or turn the volume down. I would definately recomend the Tom Tom. User Review: - Works in Europe and the USI saw some reviews that described difficulties in some of the Garmin and TomTom line in acquiring signal and location. I purchased the 920 because it appeared to have all the maps preloaded for the US and Europe but I was skeptical and a little confused by the tape covering the SD card slot with a note printed on it to the effect that no extra memory was required. But I should not have been skeptical. The unit worked wonderfully in several European countries in small towns and cities alike. Very effective navigation directions, always clear and with signal acquisition in well under 60 seconds. The updates over the Internet worked flawlessly using the included software (but I had to use a Windows emulator on my Mac because there was no Mac version). It also works flawlessly in the US. The one nit; it does not seem to last more than 2 hours without a charge so I drive with it plugged into the vehicle's DC outlet. User Review: - Excellent productProduct worked very well and delivered more than expected. product support also good. Easy to use. User Review: - Nice features, but quirky and un-refined. Returned itGot it at a good price ($315) so decided to try it out. Although it has some really cool features, overall I was dissapointed. It felt like I was beta testing a GPS unit. Like it just wasn't really ready for prime time yet. And no, it wasn't because I couldn't figure it out. I am an uber-nerd and gadget junkie. I did finally get the bluetooth syncing to work (despite the lack of help from TomTom) where I could access the internet through my blackberry, but it would only synch the gas prices when it was docked, which was pretty useless. The suction cup mount that comes with the unit is worthless. There were a lot of things that just didn't work, or didn't work they way you would expect them to, so in the end, I returned it for a refund. I'm still going to give it 3 stars though, because it's a nice unit, but I don't think it's quite ready yet. User Review: - Good choiceCompared to Broadwayphoto.com & CameraAddict.com, Amazon is a little more expensice, but it's fully loaded and no trick. You'll be asked to pay additional $40 by the previous two sites to buy USA maps. They claimed their lower price is for European maps ONLY, which is not true from their web sites. How ridiculous a GPS for sale in US has no US map loaded! Therefore, Amazon.com is a honest and good choice for purchasing TomTom GPS! |
