 Fraud July 30, 2006

One day and the windshield mount kit broke. Not all the features announced were included in my unit and I am still waiting for an answer from the dealer or TomTom. And finally, the best: after 15 days it switched off and it is still in a coma. No way to come it back to life again. I cannot remember a similar experience in my life as a consumer. Try it if you have the guts!
 Love the TomTom GO 910! July 29, 2006

I'm a very technologically savvy individual and have been using GPS for many, many years. My Garmin handheld unit currently shows 2,558 hours of use on the permanent timer. I've always been a big fan of Garmin products, and couldn't fathom going with another manufacturer. I've done a lot of research, and finally decided on the TomTom GO 910 for my first real automobile navigating unit. The final selling point was the inclusion of maps of Europe in addition to the entire USA. It truly is a pleasure to use and navigate with, as other posters have described here in greater detail. For those who have complained about the mount, I find their complaints unsubstantiated. The suction cup locks onto the windshield by rotating the base of the mount. There are two detents, and you must pass through the first detent before the arm locks tightly in place. Once you have locked down the mount by rotating the locking device through to the second detent, the mounting arm doesn't move, period. No problems found. You just have possess a little mechanical aptitude to figure out on your own how to properly use the mounting device, because the hardware instructions supplied with the unit are dumbed-down too much. Apparently, the people who complained that the unit droops after driving for a little while wouldn't be able to figure out how to change a tire either. The unit's operating menu is dumbed-down for the general population as well. It has an option to show a more comprehensive and detailed menu if you choose to do so, but it is not set this way by default. I hope TomTom will be offering updated maps. This unit doesn't show the development in which I live, and it's been here over 3 years. But, in their defense, neither does any other GPS unit I've tried. This country's suburbs are rapidly expanding all over the place, so I hope to be able to get updated maps one day without being to required to just throw the 910 in the garbage and be forced to buy a new unit through planned obsolescence. All in all, I'm very impressed, and you will be too. You won't be disappointed.
 tomtom 910 dies July 29, 2006

The product was great for one day, then it froze up and could not be revived, even with a soft restart. Tried to contact the merchant who sold me the product, but after talking to their reps on three occassions, they still did not get back to me with a resolution for my problem. After having spoken directly to tomtom, was I able to sent it back to someone who would fix or replace my two day old unit. It was TomTom. Thanks TomTom.

I bought the original Tom Tom Go back in November 2004. Since then, my attempts to reach their customer service have all met in failure. My last attempt, 10 days ago, was an effort to buy updated maps for my product. Yes, their website will offer to sell you maps, but there is no way to determine the date of the maps you already own, and no way to determine the date of the maps that you would be purchasing, in some cases for a large sum of money. If you try to find a telephone number on their site that you can call, you will be disappointed. I am disappointed and would advise you to look elsewhere if you want a product that is supported.

The Go 910 is definitely the best GPS device out there today. I used it on a long sojourn on the East Coast over the Fourth of July weekend and it never missed.
Before I left I loaded up a bunch of playlists onto the device with plenty of room to spare!! Before I left I was concerned about the mount drooping in the hot weather. I don't know if people have tried this, but you have to turn the dial on the mount such that it clicks in twice. There's a first click, then dial farther until the padlock symbol meets the dot. Even in the 90-degree weather the dock didn't move.
Voices had some trouble with street names, but still, with the text-to-speech it was nice to have something more than the generic "turn right here."
Love the big screen, better than Nuvi 360 AND the Streetpilot c550, my next turn was always visible well in advance. Phone conversations were clear and map accuracy was fine.
A GREAT product!
