Good product but some features are unfavorable... August 1, 2008
I've had the GO 920 for about a month now and I like the 4.3 screen. The map updates are great and overall, the 920 has served its purpose rather well. I use my tomtom for work (I'm a commercial/industrial appraiser for the county) and am quite happy with it, notwithstanding the following problems/concerns I encountered during this short time of ownership:
1)The 920 frequently turns on by itself (and alarmingly heats up when stored inside a case. 2)Sometimes I couldn't get the 920 to turn on. 3)The 920 will not prompt you to end navigation once you've arrived at your destination (you will have to go through 3 or 4 screens/buttons to "clear the current route" to end your navigation. 4)The FM transmitter is a big joke. Don't even try working this function while on the move. 5)The computer voice's pronounciation of (many) street names sucks (ex: sacramento is pronounced "sac-cal-muntah" ????) 6)I couldn't get my SD card to work (am I missing something?..why was there a sticker across the SD slot that read: "No need for SD card"? The manual says it accepts up to a 4GB SD card. Lastly, it gives inaccurate distance measurements. It asks me to make a turn in 250 feet when I know that I'm much closer to the turn (about 80 -100 feet). Wierd.
BUT, despite the above concerns, I am indeed satisfied for the price I paid ($320.00). All the other features are great and I'm happy with it...for now.
 Have You Ever Been Lost? August 1, 2008
TomTom Go
Have You Ever Been Lost?
My husband and I were lost in Washington D.C. for four hours. We went around and around on the freeway. The tree cover was so dense that we could not see any land marks outside the freeway. We then got off the freeway and found ourselves in a bad section of town. When we tried calling the hotel for directions, the person on the other end of the phone wasn't even in town, he was in India, and could neither give directions nor understand our questions. We found a policeman who directed us to our hotel.
After that trip, we bought a TomTom Go and we have never traveled without it. I recently took the TomTom on a trip to Ohio, in my luggage. I did run into a problem on the first day. The TomTom was still trying to direct me to my home area, even though I had programmed the Ohio addresses in before leaving for the trip. I finally had to call for directions and buy a map. By our second day in Ohio, the TomTom had caught up and it worked fine in Ohio.
My husband is Santa Claus. At Christmas time he uses the TomTom Go to navigate his "sleigh" and make all of his visits on time.
For me, the TomTom Go has brought peace of mind and a sense of security when taveling.

Awesome, very few flaws July 31, 2008
This is an awesome product! It has saved me on a couple of trips where i don't know where im going! The POI's always have lead me to good food or a nice hotel, or even to my school. It saves me alot of time not having to look up every places address. I love that it tells me gas prices and had live traffic, also extremely helpful!
The only problem i had with it was one time it said that the location i was going to was closer then it said it was. Another problem was it couldn't connect to my Samsung Alias. It would connect to my friends Lg chocolate though.
My Tom Tom July 28, 2008
I never thought I would need a navigation system. Then I went on a long trip with out one. It was a disaster. Now I have my Tom Tom and my long trips are much better. I have not had the issues with the screen "dimness" other reviewers have had. I see the screen fine and clear at all times of the day and night. I also have not had the issues with the mounting bracket that other reviewers have had. My Tom Tom mounts securely and has never fallen off the bracket nor has the bracket fallen off the windshield while tapping the the screnn options. It is easier to navigate using voice commands than using the screen alone because you are no taking your eyes off the road. The places I have gone have been accurately navigated 98% of the time. I purchased the feul program so the Tom Tom finds the lowest gas price for me. This has been very convenient in my travels. I would recommend the Tom Tom 920 because of the convenient remote control, so you are not having to tap the the screen and taking your eyes off the road.
My one warning. I would recommend pushing the reset button when you first get the Tom Tom, before you begin selecting your features. Once I got my Tom Tom all programmed and downloaded the fuel package, it quit talking to me. I had to reset the device and reload everything for it to talk again. My friends who also have Tom Toms, but different models have also had this problem. I don't have any idea why this happens. But once I reset and reloaded I have not had the problem again.
Over all I really like my Tom Tom Go 920. I hope that if you decide to purchase one you like yours as much as I like mine.
Almost the perfect GPS July 21, 2008

Great GPS unit it has a long list of features and maps for more then just the USA. Everything is pretty easy to understand and use. Screen display is bright.
Voice entry is hit or miss, short list of cell phones that will use all features (can not get it to read my text msgs) Does not include a carry case for the price it should.
Overall I would tell anyone looking for a GPS unit this is a good one even as good as the newer model that just came out (the 930)
