TomTom GO 920T - Expert Reviews

Review summary: The TomTom 920 T's home screen makes it easy to choose your destination and other essential features

Pros: Big, widescreen display ; excellent directions ; MapShare ; text-to-speech

Cons: Penny-pinching on accessories ; subscription charges ; poor Points Of Interest ; too many frivolous add-ons

Verdict: It would be great if it worked as well as advertised but, like every other voice recognition system ever invented, the reality is it's a lot less certain to recognise your well-rounded vowels, forcing you to eventually abandon the idea. Like the 720 T ...

Review summary: TomTom has just released their newest top-of-the-line flagship GPS device called the GO 920T. This feature-filled navigation device should prove to be a strong force in the high-end GPS market. It has just about every feature that you would expect to ...

Review summary: TOMTOM announced the GO 920T Satellite Navigation device at Germany's IFA in September. It finally made its way to the stores in the last ticking seconds of 2007 and more recently into our grubby little hands for a review

Pros: Bluetooth remote control, World Wide map coverage, EPT

Cons: No latest map updates after 30 days

Review summary: When we reviewed the TomTom GO 720 back in September, the bigger and better GO 920 had been announced but wasn't yet available. Now that it's finally arrived, and after taking it for plenty of spins around the block, I can say it's a much better value ...

Verdict: The TomTom GO 920 is a much better value than the company's previous model, the highly rated GO 720particularly if you plan on traveling to Europe. If you have a supported phone with a data plan on AT&T or T-Mobile, it's even better.

Review summary: The TomTom GO 920T re-establishes the company as the top dog for GPS navigation. With a 109mm (4.3-inch) screen, this sat-nav focuses on the navigational experience rather than multimedia gimmicks. You get an excellent text-to-speech interface and ...

Pros: Voice recognition ; text-to-speech ; hi-res screen ; map corrections ; easy to use ; safety cameras ; QuickGPS utility

Cons: Intermittent TMC/FM performance ; Bluetooth setup ; map detail

Verdict: The TomTom GO 920T re-establishes the company as the top dog for GPS navigation. Its widescreen format has lost weight from its 910 predecessor and it now focuses on the navigational aides rather than multimedia gimmicks. As a result you have voice ...
