"Nice device, but the new features are not worth. Get TomTom 920 instead and save money"

By TheKostya

I bought this device based on the number of f... 

Excellent price to value GPS device, tones of features, customizable.

Lane's feature never worked, IQ rotes feature doesn't make sence. Some minor routing issues.

"All inclusive and a great upgrade from my GO 910."

By FiveIV

The unit I have is the GO 930 T (same unit bu... 

Hands free calling worked better than most bluetooth headsets. Screen is easy to view on full brightness EVEN with sun glare. Voice instructions can be heard CLEARLY at full volume with all 4 windows down at 65+ mph. Lane guidance great feature.

Should have included a protective case in the box for the actual GPS unit instead of having to buy it seperate as an accessory.

"Outstanding product! More relevant info on screen!"

By mprasmus

I would recommend TomTom as a brand to anyone... 

The product is great!. I have used it here in USA and Europe and it performed very wel. I really like the bluetooth capability for the mobile phone and very easy to transfer all my phone numbers to the device automatically.

The mounting device doesn't have a locking device, but keep your windshield clean for it to work. The FM transmitter is still in need of further development for making it a useful feature.

"Great navigation but beware the high end features."

By bukosky

I thought that I did my homework when I bough... 

Easy to read screen and good working touchpad. Very quick satellite acquisition. Able to do some modification to roads, speed limits and POI's and submit them for others to share. Good windshield mount.

Beware limited telephone bluetooth compatibility! Check if it works with your phone and service before buying. Weak FM signal for playing music. Map modification very difficult on GPS and clunky with computer. May need extra cost traffic antenna.

"NO 3D MAPS HERE"

By LinuxRules

First of all I do not own this unit but have ... 

It is a TomTom, it uses LINUX and you can connect it to a MAC.

Do not even display majority of lakes, rivers, or streams. So Please Do Not Drive into Them. You Can Not connect it to a Linux Computer, that I know, no support.

"Not very impressed with the 930."

When I called tech support, to find out why a... 

Not MUCH. Waste of good money.

Maps are out of date. Has a road on map that hasn't been around for over 50 YEARS. Doen't have a road on it that is over 10 YEARS and these are within 8 miles of my house.
