TOMTOM GO 930 Expert Reviews

Top-of-the-range navigation

This is one of the best sat-navs we've ever used, but the price remains very high

Top-of-the-range navigation

Life is tough at the top and market leaders TomTom have thrown everything at the TomTom Go 930. Every new feature, widget and gizmo but does that make it better than a SatNav a third of the price

Plenty of new features

The 930T is an impressive navigator. However, it is also expensive and we were not bowled over with the new features

Just when you thought it was safe to remove the wrapping off your GO 920T, TomTom have launched their new 930T model, which features the much hyped IQ Routes Technology ...

If you own a TomTom GO920T there is not a massive reason to upgrade to a 930T, as the IQ Routes are still in their infancy and the Advanced Lane Guidance is only useful if you travel on Motorways. Saying that if money is no object and you are looking ...

Worthy successor to the Go 920 T, the GO 930 Traffic especially sets itself apart by the addition of IQ Routes which optimizes trips by taking into account the average real speeds on roads.

- IQ Routes technology to optimize travel, - Remote and FM receiver, - Numerous countries are covered, - Software is very practical to use, - Reactivity

The ultimate sat-nav device, but this is not a dramatic enough upgrade over TomTom's previous range and the price is very high.

Will improvements to Tomtom's range change the way you navigate?

Fantastic performance on the road ; wide range of extras ; extremely customisable

Expensive ; improvements don't add a great deal

There's no doubt that the 930T is an extremely impressive navigator and one of the best on the market. However, it's also very expensive and, since we weren't bowled over with the new features, some of the cheaper and equally capable devices start to ...

TomTom has dominated the in-car sat-nav sector for some time and it's hoping to maintain that position with its latest Go 930 Traffic.

So are the additions worth the extra cash- For now, I'd have to say - surprisingly - no. The new x30 range undoubtedly maintains the 720's position as king of in-car sat-navs, with its improved route-finding abilities and lane assistance. But the ...

When we heard that TomTom was updating its range with yet more enhanced navigation technology, we couldn't wait to get our hands on one of its new satnavs to test it all out. The 930T we ...

The new features on offer with TomTom's 930T do offer added convenience but we think their impact will be relatively minor for most users. While it's difficult to imagine a more complete GPS device, you'll need to make good use of all of the extras, ...
