Amazon.com Product Description -- 10/02/08
The GO 920 and it's sibling, the 920T, are TomTom's new flagship portable gps navigators, replacing the GO 910. The GO 920T comes bundled with TomTom's RDS-TMC traffic receiver and a one-year subscription to the Clear Channel traffic service, which allows users to receive real-time traffic information. The traffic receiver is sold as a separate accessory for the GO 920.

widescreen view
The 4.3-inch (diagonal) 3D driving view offers a clear picture of the road and maneuvers ahead (actual size).


The first big difference you'll notice is that the 920s are much thinner than the 910. TomTom introduced this slim form factor with last year's ONE. With the release of the top-of-the-line 920s, TomTom now offers a full range of units in the new form factor (see a feature comparison for all of TomTom's GO and ONE devices). When you turn it on, you'll also notice the increased performance and features the 920s packs into their slimmer form.

What's New -- Enhanced Positioning Technology
TomTom's new Enhanced Positioning Technology uses movement and gravity sensors to calculate drivers' positions when GPS signals are unavailable. This helps the device continue to navigate to its destination, even when there may not be a direct line-of-sight connection to a satellite (for example, when driving in a city with tall buildings, underpasses or bridges).

What's New -- Voice Prompted Address Entry
Voice prompted address entry gives users the option to speak the address to which they want to drive. Users can simply speak the city, street name and address number they would like to travel to, and the device will automatically calculate the route.

TomTom Mapshare
MapShare lets you add your own map corrections and POIs, then share them with the entire TomTom user community via the TomTom HOME website

What's New -- Map Share
The GO 920 includes TomTom's innovative new Map Share technology. Map Share enables users to make easy changes to the map and to share map corrections with other TomTom customers so that users always have the most up-to-date maps available.

Widescreen View and FM Transmitter
See more. Hear more. The GO 920 offers a 4.3-inch, extra-wide, touch-screen LCD display that features anti-glare technology for easy viewing even in direct sunlight. Realistic and clear visual instructions are provided with high-quality 3D graphics, while spoken instructions tell you where you need to go in your own language. As an added convenience, text-to-speech functionality provides you with actual street names. The built-in FM Transmitter to play music and navigation instructions over the car stereo.

Hands-Free Calling
In more and more places, it is becoming illegal to use cell phones while driving without a hands-free kit. The GO 920's Bluetooth capability, microphone and speaker lets match it to any bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls.

    4 out of 5 stars TomTom   May 14, 2008
    So far happy with product but havent been able to get all the options to work, I think I just need the time to learn these options. Works great on trips as long as you follow it but not so well if you decide to go another way without reprogramin trip.


    5 out of 5 stars GREAT GPS NAVIGATOR   May 8, 2008
    This is a great GPS system. I am extremely happy with the unit. I am still learning all of the functions and options. I have had only one problem and that was with my cell phone and not the navigator. TomTom should publish a list of the phones that are data compatible with the navigator. After receiving it I discovered that my phone was not data compatible and had to purchase a new one. When you are only purchasing a cell phone they become quit expensive.


    3 out of 5 stars Disappointed   May 8, 2008
     1 out of 1 found this review helpful

    Expectations were high after replacing my older 910 with the new 920T (old one got stolen). Despite the compacter design and some added features, I am very disappointed in my new TomTom. The mounting bracket keeps dropping from the windshield (the old one had a locking feature); the remote control has to reconnect almost every time the unit is switched on (looses connection when you accidently hit a button when TomTom is not started up yet); worst of all: battery life is 30 minutes to one hour (I always have to use that long/clumsy cable), there is no way the unit is reaching the 4~5 hours quoted by TomTom (it appears that TomTom has used a new type, more compact battery); no carrying case included (can't believe that you pay $450 for a device and there is no $10 carrying case included!?). This was my last TomTom.


    5 out of 5 stars TomTom 920 T A great tool!!   April 20, 2008
     2 out of 2 found this review helpful

    I've had my 920T about a month now and love it. I'm in commercial real estate and often have to view a dozen or more properties a day for research. The itinerary feature is something I didn't know the model had until I started using it. It is a real time saver. I especially like the Estimated Time of Arrival projection and the real time traffic updates.

    Two complaints; 1.)the subscription traffic service won't work with my phone. TomTom needs to expand the compatible phones to include all the Blackberry & Smart Phones on the market. 2.) The "Travel Via" option should allow Route Numbers to be used to specify a route. That would speed entering information to change your travel route on the fly.



    4 out of 5 stars Great Product!   April 12, 2008
    I'm very pleased with the TomTom 920t. Quick satellite acquisition and rerouting. Couldn't ask for much more.
