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 920T 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

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.

    5 out of 5 stars great gps   May 14, 2008
    i am very happy with this tom tom gps. I had a garmin before but that really sucks. Tom Tom does a much bether job with its products.


    4 out of 5 stars Gets you there   May 12, 2008
    Purchased right before a week-long driving trip touring colleges in New York and New England. It performed well, but there is room for improvement:

    1. Battery life is not great - I got about 2-2.5 hrs I would guess
    2. Limited list when you request points of interest near you. The list needs to be much longer.
    3. no QWERTY keyboard option (if there was, I couldn't figure out how to change it)
    4. zoom control on map browsing is very sensitive - I found it difficult to get the map display I wanted when zooming.

    These are fairly minor things. Overall, it's easy to use and I'm very happy with it.



    4 out of 5 stars TomTom Go 920 GPS   May 10, 2008
    This is a great unit. I previously had a Garmin 330, the TomTom is far superior. I like the MP3 feature, I initially did not give any weight to that feature, but after using it, I love it. The same goes for the Bluetooth capability, I like the feature but I have been unable to get it to function properly, I'm not sure if it is the unit or something I am not doing correctly. It stumbles a little over the voice input, but it's better than nothing, inputting address was a annoyance with the Garmin. Shop around, the price for this unit is all over the board. I have not mentioned the navigation function because they all do that fairly well.


    2 out of 5 stars Show me the way   May 9, 2008
    This product is OK. One route I requested that ultimately was a 6 1/2 hour drive, the GPS routed me cirulusly with an estimated drive time of 9 1/2 hours. When in the vicinity of my final destination, it became helpful in finding the exact address. It is not especially good at shortest or fastest route. I do not find some major highways in the system.


    1 out of 5 stars Buy beware   May 7, 2008

    Although the product is good product, please be aware that TomTom will not honor the 30 day free map upgrade when you purchase the devide from a third party that is not an authorized seller, even if it is factory sealed when you buy it. For example, individules selling "New" products on Amazon Marketplace do not qualify, and it will cost you $99.95 for the update.
