 TOMTOM 920....NEARLY FANTASTIC January 27, 2008
Mr. A. J. Frost (Kent, England)
28 out of 28 found this review helpful
Since my purchase of my TOMTOM 920T, I can only say that it is
a very,very good satnav. I looked at all reviews and was in two
minds as to the Navman or TOMTOM. On reading these reviews I was
concerned as to "loss of signal" reported. I very much feel that
you will lose a signal on rare occasions. BUT I strongly suspect
that loss of signal is more down to position of satnav in the
vehicle and certain windscreens not letting a good signal through.
Have not lost a signal in approx. 35 full days usage. After going through tunnels, i.e. Blackwall and Dartford signal is back within 100yds.
Having already had a good deal of experience with a Navman 510 for
many years. I think the Tomtom is superior, but times have moved
on and the Tomtom should of course be better. Many aspects of the
Tomtom are just brillant, but a few areas let it down. Navman is
very good at letting you find an exact location and scrolling north/south/east/west is so much easier on the Navman.
Tomtom seems more realiant on postcodes and house numbers.
But many locations are not addresses, i.e 'football stadium'
almost always has surrounding roads for home and away supporters.
It can be difficult to quickly scroll to exact parking location.
Lack of home charger and no protective case is just mean.
Recommend buyers of this model going to Tesco's and buying
a medium camera case which fits the Tomtom great all for
3.47p. As for the charger I got mine on Ebay for 11.99p(original).
Blutooth works very well with very little distortion and traffic
system is recommended.
Lots or reports or windscreen mounts dropping off windscreen.
I find if the windscreen is very clean and sucker firmly positioned
then it does not drop off.
Manual should have a bit more information than just basic useage,
as not every one may have computer access for full version of manual.
Built in speed limits have a few discrepencies and my Tomtom runs at
3/4mph less than my cars digital speedo. But which is correct?
I would like a constant reminder of battery status.
If you are thinking of buying a satnav look at every review you can to
determine which one suits your needs. My Tomtom 920T will be going on many overseas trips on my coach which I really feel is more than just
up to the job.
I find the share map corrections and self map corrections brillant,
and have changed a wrong way 'one way' system.
 A significant improvement December 24, 2007

Ordered it with a little trepidation having read some mixed reviews of the initial production 720 models. However, Amazon's price drop to just over 300 helped and so, within 3 hours of delivery, it was earning its keep.
The windscreen mount is so much better than my old 910 and has not dropped off once despite very cold conditions. Bluetooth link to my Nokia phone worked perfectly despite the 6300 not being listed on the compatibility chart. And, unlike the 910, everyone I have spoken to via the TomTom can actually understand me now!
Boots up faster, EPT seemed to work when in a city yesterday and the touch screen is very clear and quick to respond. Thought the reversion to a power cable to fix to the car mounted TomTom would annoy but the connector is so easy to fit, it is not a problem.
No problems connecting to TomTom Home V 2.0.
Had some distortion at first from the speaker but a very gentle press of the speaker housing cured it without need for any further action and the voice is clear and the voice activated command function also seems ok.
Why only 4 stars? Well, no case included so I had to buy the hard case separately. Re the case, many have complained about the zip. it is a tight fit but by being pre-warned, I've found that gently closing it has worked so far! Include a case and 5 stars would be forthcoming.
All in all, a success.

What makes a TomTom really good: First of all updates. They're really often and it is a most important thing (maps, software, add-ons) It is powerful, user-friendly and fully customizable. Comparing to 910 (also have) is smaller, faster and more energy efficient. It hasn't got a hard disc (in my opinion good- built in memory is enough) 910 was more as a "multimedia toy" but this was a wrong way. TomTom realized that and back again to making a GPS not a mp3 player...
TomTom Home 2 is getting better and currently have no problems with it.
-1 for no case (essential add-on)
 Great for holiday journeys in the USA, useless for the daily commute in the UK March 4, 2008

First the good. The software works very well, and the TomTom Home 2.0 application you need to get the latest updates is now available for the Mac as well as the PC. I found TomTom to be absolutely indispensible while travelling East Coast USA for three weeks and that was my primary reason for buying it. Road maps in the USA are difficult to follow (as the scale can change drastically from page to page), and TomTom got me from New York to Harrisburg PA, right up to the Adirondacks and back to New York again with absolutely no problems whatsoever. From that point of view, it was money well spent.
Here in the UK, the "traffic safety camera" alerts seem to work okay, but sometimes display the wrong speed limit or warn you of a camera that no longer exists. In fact TomTom can tell you your driving speed far more accurately than your car's speedometer and you'll be surprised how inaccurate the latter can be. TomTom can also tell you what the speed limit is for the particular road you're driving on (most roads), but again, the data is sometimes inaccurate, so don't rely on this. I suppose the golden rule is to watch the road signs, stick to just under the speed limit and ignore TomTom.
So, already it's starting to look negative and I'm only just coming to the bad features. First of all, the UK maps are horribly out of date. Many town centre road systems are completely missing (e.g. the inner ring road in Sheffield that was built between 2004 and 2007) and there are far too many places where TomTom's advice could either get you in trouble with the police, or even cause a collision (e.g. telling you to turn right or u-turn where the road signs say this is forbidden). In city centres, you are far better off switching TomTom off completely (or clearing your route) and following the road signs.
I have complained about this and TomTom wrote back saying that data takes a long time to collect, that they apparently send specially equipped vans around the country, but that they also rely on data from local councils. I will leave you to draw your own conclusions on that one.
There is a map share system, but it's horribly clunky to use and you'll be uploading your changes in vain, as they will never materialise into anything concrete from TomTom. Sheffield's inner relief road was officially opened last year, but has in fact been in use for a year before that, and the complete plans have been available on the loacl council's website since 2004. This seems to have passed TomTom by, so all you have are a bunch of roads that simply don't exist any more and TomTom thinking you're driving off road.
The traffic system is also flawed. Even when you do get updates, they are usually about 20 or 30 minutes too late. But the real problem is that these traffic updates are limited to Motorways and A roads so, even if you get a traffic update in time warning of heavy traffic, the alternative route proposed by TomTom will usually be far more heavily congested than the one you were originally following. So unless TomTom warns you that a road has actually been closed, you should ignore it. I commute from Leeds to Sheffield daily and find that I get far better advice from the local BBC radio stations.
All in all, TomTom is great for any casual journeys of over 100 miles where you're not too bothered when you arrive. It's a especially good in the US, as they muck around with their roads a lot less than we do. For daily commutes or any journey in which you have to be somehwere at a certain time in the UK, forget TomTom... use a map and listen to the local radio stations.

Ive owned a few tomtom devices. tomtom One, tomtom Go and this one. I've also owned a sony unit, but returned it because it was hard to use.
Anyway this is a great device.
Allows me to travel all the way from london to poland without a problem. Eastern european maps are included!
Most units say europe, but they mean WESTERN EUROPE. Big difference!
Updating the device is easy has it has a dock, and supports vista.
All updates are free as well!!
No real negative issues, except the lack of a case!! all other tomtoms's come with it, why doesnt the most expensive one have it?
