Good product - needs perfecting August 11, 2008
If you're new to an area, the TomTom GO920 is the near-perfect companion. Expect issues in urban areas amidst high buildings (probably the case for all navigators, though), and in very remote areas: had a very dangerous experience in Yosemite Park, when it directed me to a road that doesn't exist on the local maps: it didn't warn me that the road was unpaved, very steep and only suitable for 4x4 vehicles. But then again, it was my decision not to make a U turn - so not sure how much of it I can blame on the navigator.
On several occasions, the route suggested from A to B changed: one day it suggested one highway, another day another one; sometimes the return leg was completely different from the outbound leg.
The commands are easy to use, with sufficient features and settings.The hands-free feature doesn't work with my business cellphone, looks like the phone overrides the navigator's bluetooth commands. No problems however with my private cell: once it works, it's great!
I travel a fair bit for work, both in the US and in Europe; this machine came with maps for North America and Europe.I worked out the daily rate Hertz charge us for their Neverlost system: the GO920 pays for itself after 32 working days.
Some aspect need improving but all in all very happy with the product.
Minor flaws, but great to have. August 9, 2008
Most place names are spoken understandably, but both US English readers frequently say "thord" or "thorth" for "third", as well as "thorteenth", "thortyninth", etc., which can be confusing.
Sounds good, but could be better with more maps August 9, 2008
I'got previously a Viamichelin (many mistakes and long time to acquire gps) and now Viamichelin has left the gps market (no more support, no new maps). I tried Mio (no comment, forget it, you will never be able to read the screen on sunny days). I finally go to Tomtom in order to get North American and Europe maps. Good product, very short waiting time for gps acquisition, accurate and precise. I've bought the 920. Important things to mention :
- after updating a 920 with v8 maps, you have got a 930 !
- if you buy the T version (with TMC) in US, your antenna won't work in Europe and vice versa. If you want to use TMC on both sides, you need 2 antennas (which are physically identical, so don't mix them or it will be a mess !).
- I travel a lot. I can use it in Singapore, Hong-Kong, Australia etc. but you don't have maps of Mexico and Malaysia (that Garmin has). It's a pity.
- remote control is a gadget except if you have a very big car...
- no home charger, no case provided. It's a pity.
- software is very simple to use. You will never be lost !
- some map mistakes, but very good improvements with map share. These improvements are depending on the size of the community : in Europe, maps are perfect due to the large number of users (TT is #1). In US, maps are perfectible and it will take some time which could be short if their products are well sold. No need to buy an updated map, sounds good !
- bluetooth hands free works very well.
- voice recognition exists but forget it (gadget which doesn't work while driving).
Conclusion : quite perfect, reliable, always working (no bugs)... Only one improvement for future : Mr Tomtom, provide more maps, please !

 TomTom GO 920 August 4, 2008
We spent 6 weeks in the Chicago Illinois area, house sitting my sons home and his two children. To take the kids to soccer, karate, their frioends were to be picked up and taken to church. This would have been an enormpusly difficult task for someone from Florida, but the TomTom came to the rescue. We entered the various locations into the GO920, hit the ON button and off we went. The GPS got us to all locations without any difficulties. I had made one mistake entering my Home address in Florida as "HOME" and the GPS wanted to return us to Florida instead of the Chicago address. This error was quickly corrected and all went well. We used it to drive from Chicago back to Leesburg Florida. It safely routed us thru Nahville, Chattanooga, and Atlanta by giving us advance instructions as to which lane we were supposed to be in to safely get through these difficult cities. We have NEVER had such easy drive through the traffic nightmares of these three cities. Never do without my TomTom again. *******
