 Money well spent! January 3, 2008

This is my first Tom Tom, but not my first experience with GPS systems. I did my home work and checked out every GPS system in the stores or my friends' cars... and the Tom Tom units out performed. I decided to gift myself a Tom Tom 920T for Christmas and I am so glad I did! It lives up 100% to every advertisement claim made. All of the other reviews talk about the features on this unit and the info is out there on the net for you to review, so I will just say this 920T is absolutely the best GPS on the market today, hands down.

This is my first TomTom and but not my first GPS units.
I asked for and received this as a Christmas present but I found many things I didn't like about it in the first few days and have since returned the unit for the following reason.
1) I really wanted the remote control that came with this unit. I have one on my old Garmin 2610 and use it all the time. The TomTom 920T remote will not allow you to pan the map. It's very limited in what it can do.
2) I wanted voice control but this unit still requires you to hit buttons after giving a voice command.
3) I wanted to try real traffic updates but the traffic recieve antenna is a 5 foot long black wire that I would have had to drape across my dash.
4) The POI features are both limited and just plain wrong in many case. If I search for a beach I got towns with the word beach in their names and I couldn't even search for restaurant by type of food like I could with my old Garmin.
5) For three days I was unable to access TomTom support either by phone or the automated web support. (I know it was just after Christmas but Garmins support site was running fine)
6) My last big issue is that it can just route poor. I tried all the settings and it still sent me the wrong way (and no it's not just my opinion, some, not all, routes were stupid). I had no confidence in the unit to send somewhere when I didn't know where I was going.
The unit did look good and was very "customizable". It could get you where you are going but not the always by the best route. I was hoping that I could download TomToms latest software at the TomTom site but after three days of their support site being down I choose to return the system.
Tom Tom 920T is the best system out there...... December 24, 2007

I have used several different GPS systems over the years and I knew what I was looking for. Something easy to setup, easy to navigate and easy to see.
The Tom Tom 920T does all that and more. Right out of the box and a couple of touches on the screen and away you go.
The update process is easy as well. It comes with a docking station to hook to your computer and updates are done...
After looking at all the others, this is the best that I could find. I would suggest purchasing this to anyone looking for a good system.

Too bad I didn't read the customer reviews before I purchased my Tom Tom 920. I do not own a PC and I chose Tom Tom GPS because they stated their software was compatible with the Imac. Their software in called Tom Tom Home and although it will load on Imacs it won't do what it is intended to do such as Update your mapping system and allow you to communicate with the Tom Tom device via the USB cable and docking pad. I wanted to install password protection on my Tom Tom 920 but can not. It seems the only way you can install a password is through the Home software via USB cable and the software will not support communication between the Tom Tom and Imac. I contacted the Tom Tom technical support number and what a joke, they told me to load the software on someone else's PC for the updates as they do not have an "Emulator" for Apple systems. (deceptive advertising??) Tom Tom states they may have one in the future but I will believe it when I see it! I will say that the Tom Tom 920 works fine as a GPS system except the battery run time (before needing a recharge) is only about 3 and a half hours rather than the 5 hours they claim. If you purchase the Tom Tom 920 make sure you have PC access and hope you don't have to contact their Technical Support Team for anything other than a very basic issue because these guys offer very poor technical support, it's like they don't have any training??

I had researched for a long time before I choose to go with the TomTom 920T. I wanted it because it had all the extras that I like and might use. Sure Garmin had some extras but for the money I thought this was the best.
Now after having it for awhile I am pleased to say that it is a great GPS. It has some features that were never mentioned that I was worried it wouldn't have like the ability to save your current GPS position so you can come back to it later. Also it has the ability to enter in actual coordinates incase you ever want to go Geo caching. I love the Traffic feature although in a lot of cases traffic is unavoidable but at least this way you know what to expect.
Two things it lacks that are small that I wish it had. In order to cancel a route I think it is lame that you have to move through a couple screens just to cancel your route you would think it would be up in the front of the controls. And I wish it had a base that was mounted in your car that it clipped into rather than pulling the wires off each and every time you take it in and out of the car. Why not leave them hooked to a base that the GPS plugs into like Magellan.
The traffic antenna sticks to the windshield I thought it would be more annoying but it isn't bad if you have the TMC.
For the most part I love it. I love how you can record you own voices which I did of my kids and their cute voices give me seamless directions to where ever I want. You can download a lot of voices off the internet for free at some sites. The GPS connection is amazing I can even track them in my house as long as I am in site of a window no matter if I can see the sky or not.
I love the voice ability to speak the address you are going to. However if you're going to make a GPS were you can speak the address make is so I can say ok or route at the end rather than tap the ok button. I mean why go through that whole process and make me hit one button at the end. Other than that it picks up my voice and is more accurate than I ever would have expected.
It has a thousand more features that I was not expecting that are pluses that I never thought it would have but the list is too long to name.
If you have the means I would pick one up.
