TOMTOM GO 930 Expert Reviews

The fine folks at GPS review have gotten their hands on the new TomTom GO 930, a followup to the GO 720 -- TomTom's previous flagship device. As far as looks go, the 930 is pretty much a 720 in shiny black clothing, so the review concentrates on ...

The TomTom GO 930 Traffic sat-nav is a speedy update to January's 920T. While the two are cosmetically nearly identical, the 930 Traffic has beefed up with some new features, including the much-hyped IQ Routes technology and advanced lane guidance to ...

Voice recognition ; text-to-speech ; IQ Routes ; advanced lane guidance ; EPT ; Map Share

Pricey ; FM/RDS-TMC receiver ; car cradle ; map detail

With the wrapping still clinging to the underside of the GO 920T, some may feel slightly peeved by the 930 Traffic's arrival. But with the sat-nav world changing rapidly each day, the features are a more natural progression, rather than a stab in the ...

Do you need the Rolls-Royce of satnav?

All in all, this is TomTom doing what it does best. As a navigation solution, we think this is the best around, but this could be said of the offerings much further down the range, with a great range of options to ensure your journey goes as smoothly ...

Need to find the fastest way to cut through traffic?

TomTom's 930T is a brilliant device

Large widescreen display ; 4GB of onboard memory ; improved user interface ; IQ Routes works well ; Advance Lane Guidance too

Day / night sensor doesn't work ; ambiguous voice commands ; speaker quality could be better

If the TomTom GO 930 T has any irritating foibles it's these: TomTom's voice instructions can still serve up confusing route number names. It reads the A46 for example as the A forty-six, fair enough, but then offers the A350 as the A three-hundred ...

The TomTom 930 T is a GPS navigation system for use in automotives. It uses the IQ Routes Technology as well as advanced lane guidance. The 930T is also fitted with the Tom Tom map share system as well as a hands-free calling capacity. This navigating ...

The top-end TomToms just keep getting better. This smarty-pants front-seat driver has a built-in FM transmitter to beam digital music to your radio, MapShare to keep your maps bang up to date and top notch routing throughout almost the entire Western ...

Like a sugar-crazed three-year-old, sometimes the 930T just won't shut up. It's got text-to-speech for SMS messages, spoken instructions and street names, and even voice guidance for lane changes (alright, this can be handy at tricky junctions). Voice ...

Enough navigation smarts to take you halfway around the world and back without so much as a wrong turn. This, people, is as sexy as satnav gets.

AN excellent choice if you're looking for a high-end GPS with all of the latest features.

Design, user interface, maps, all-round package, Bluetooth, FM transmitter

No AC charger, iPod cable and TMC receiver cost extra

If you currently own a GO 720 then there is no real reason to upgrade, as most of the improvements are software upgrades. If you are looking for a high-end GPS with all of the latest features, the GO 930 is excellent, if a little overpriced.

Two high end sat nav devices, fighting to cater for all your navigational needs

TomTom 930T: Advanced features like Map share; Navigon 8110 :Clear maps to make your journey much smoother

TomTom 930T:Route calculation not quite as fast as Navigon; Navigon 8110: Rather heavy to carry in a pocket

The 8110 can't match the TomTom for coverage or features, but for sheer ease of use, this is a serious contender for King sat nav.

Heartily recommended, but not a massive leap forward from the previous version

Easy to use. Lane guidance. Stylish

Not a massive leap forward. Unapparent IQ Routes benefits

The new black finish is classy, and TomTom's renowned build quality is still all there, but that's surely not going to be enough. The dreamily simple windscreen mount continues from the previous version, no problems there

Design, user interface, maps, all-round package, Bluetooth, FM transmitter

No AC charger, iPod cable and TMC receiver cost extra

If you currently own a GO 720, then there is no real reason to upgrade, as most of the improvements are software upgrades. If you are looking for a high-end GPS with all of the latest features though, the GO 930 is excellent, if a little overpriced.
