 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)
TOMTOM 920 July 21, 2008
EXCELLENT GPS UNIT. HAS REMOTE SO FINGERS DON'T GET ALL OVER THE SCREEN AND CAN BE PROGRAMMED WITHOUT REACHING FOR THE UNIT. ALSO THE SPEECH RECOGNIZATION WORKS GREAT. THE MOUNT LEAVES A LOT TO BE DESIRED AND BOUGHT A FLEX NECK MOUNT WITH A BEAN BAG MOUNT.
 Take pause and research prior to buying...... July 17, 2008

Yes this is a fair GPS Mapping device, should be much easier to operate and program for this kind of money. Additional maps are simply outrageously expensive. You have to use the enclosed CD of get to your pdf manual, not cool, very little written data and cannot load manual onto your computer for future use, not user friendly.
Trying to change a route is excessively complicated.
But I sent back two other vehicle navagators prior to this one!!!
Oh but it does play MP3's for you and the company certainly makes it easy for you to navaigate to their web sight and spend your money!!!!!
Wish I would have spent the extra for another brand, but my fault!!!
Very good product... Some limitations... July 17, 2008

Overall very satisfied with the GPS. Handsfree calling is good quality. Map has some minor issues but I'm hoping mapshare will fix those eventually. Similar issues were found in Garmin as well (don't know how I could have fixed in Garmin).
Pros: TTS - as crapy or good it is, its still comparable to Garmin Nuvi750. choices of different color schemes (can have your own or download from web). Lots of points of interests (Garmin also has) & can download more from web (don't know if you can do that for Garmin). Lots of Flexibility of customizing the GPS to your preferences. This may also be somewhat confusing to user with non programming background.
Cons: Cannot see distance travelled. I think this is one of the nice features that Garmin had, there was a separate window in which you can see current speed, distance to destination, distance travelled & max speed. TomTom provides other features but doesn't provide distance travelled which is the feature I would like to use if I just went out for a run or biking to see how far I'm since started.
I recently used it for 1500 mile roadtrip and was very useful in finding tourist interests, food places & hotel locations. Overall I would have rated this product 5stars if I didn't know Garmin Nuvi750 as well. But Nuvi750 would have been 3stars compared to TomTom GO 920.
