 Excellent Navigator July 12, 2008
I took my folks on a trip to see family in Minnesota from Michigan. After carefully reviewing many makes and models of navigators, I settled on this one. It was a bit more expensive than others, but I wanted to have ease of use and reliability; this one came through on both counts.
The touch screen is easy to use and the menu system isn't too hard to learn. After inputting the starting and ending points, the unit did the rest. It flawlessly took us to where we needed to be in a city we really didn't know and in the dark; it was as though we knew exactly where we were going. It also did the same for points within the city. The only problem times were when there were several exits right next to each other, but that was the fault of the city planners and not TomTom.
I can wholeheartedly recommend this unit to anyone.
 Like it but not as good as I thought it would be July 12, 2008
The Tom Tom 920 is a pretty good item. Overall I am satisfied with its capabilities, but there are a couple of things I don't like. (1) The remote just sucks the power from the batteries. If you leave them in there, they will drain within just a few hours. If I want to use it, I need to put the batteries in and then take them out as soon as I am done. After doing that a few times... I hardly use the remote anymore. (2) The maps are pretty good, but they are not entirely correct. I decided, just a few weeks ago, that on my way home I would follow the Tom Tom's exact directions. No kidding, it led me a scary house in the middle of the woods. According to the unit, I was supposed to be on a highway; instead I was on a dirt road at a dead end. On another occasion, I was on a major highway that did not exist on my Tom Tom. The same highway was present on a Garmin I had borrowed about a half year earlier. (3) The directions are very strange. The unit allows you to pick, among other things, the fastest route and the shortest route. Either one you pick, at least in my experience, will direct you one way (that is either the shortest or fastest from one direction) and then take you an entirely different way the next time (you would think the shortest or fastest distance would be the same both ways!).
However, in light of these three things, the Tom Tom does have a benefit that I have not quite taken advantage of yet. It allows you to correct a route if there is a discrepancy. In my case, if you are on a road that doesn't exist, you can select that option. The unit then keeps track of that and when you connect it to your computer, that information will be sent to Tom Tom and submitted to the map correction people who will potentially research the error. This is all a part of their Map Share program that allows users to help Tom Tom constantly update the maps.
Overall, I am happy that I have it. Although, I must say, I originally wanted to buy the Garmin Nuvi 255w, but it wasn't out when I wanted to go on a trip. I don't necessarily feel that I settled for the Tom Tom, but I wouldn't have bought it had the Garmin been out at the time. Perhaps I will sell this on eBay or something and buy the Garmin...
Fun and Useful! July 10, 2008
I purchased this TomTom for my husband for Father's Day and he's had a blast with it. He works out of town and has found it useful when looking for out of the way places. Well worth the money!
Worked Great July 10, 2008
I purchased the TomTom 920 to use on my summer vacation in June, it worked great. We traveld from South Carolina to Kentucky, Nashville, Atlanta. 1900 miles round trip and TomTom never lead us wrong. Since our purchase my wife has changed jobs and it has heled her find her new customers with out a flaw.
 Extremely Unreliable Maps & Poor Support Services July 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have used GO920T since 6 month ago and also compared it to Garmin Nuvi680 side-to-side. Tomtom Go920T's maps are extremely not reliable and caused a lot of trouble on me. Tomtom Go920 is not as good as Garmin Nuvi 680 which is at least one generation older. Their support service is not friendly and not reliable as their maps. Avoid Tomtom.
