Tom Tom 920T is the best system out there.............2007-12-24

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.

Tom Tom 920.......2007-12-17

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??

TomTom 920T.......2007-11-28

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.

920T a Dud In The US!.......2007-11-27

n addition to my previous review of the product I just called TT support today to get my issues resolved. Now, I cannot speak for Windows users as I am running a Mac, but if you are a Mac user run away as fast as you can from this company and their products. Not only do the not have anyone knowledgeable about how their products interact with the Mac but their only advice was to try and run it from a Windows machine! I had trouble getting the full user manual from the CD so I was told to download it. Funny thing is, there is no download from their site. So then I was told that the site was 'under construction' and it would be available in a few weeks. When I stated that was not satisfactory and asked to have it emailed to me I was told tat was not possible for 'security reasons.' Ridiculous! Next, when I went to the free one year of maps offer I also found a site 'under construction.' I was told I did not have the most up to date version of TT Home and should download it from the site. Only problem is that the site had version 1.5 and I already had 1.6. Another problem not solved. Lastly, when you go to TT Home you find that Traffic Alerts are not available for the US. I was assured they were and should go to TT Home (see previous problem). Absolutely horrible support. And, if you are thinking that I must have been talking to an outsource vendor you would be wrong. My support came from a woman here in the US. Based on this experience I am returning the product and waiting on Garmin. TT should be ashamed of themselves. I hope that they are reading this! BTW, I would have given no stars but Amazon does not allow. While typing I am now talking to a supervisor...no help either.

It only keeps getting better and better!.......2007-11-09

I purchased this over two weeks ago at Best Buy, here in Los Angeles for $599.99! Yes folks, thanks to Best Buy's notorious price difference on the web and in their infamous intranet, I made them honor what I saw at home on my computer! And yes, this was for the TomTom 920T!

It is slimmer, lighter, nicer and loaded with more features than any other portable GPS device in the market! Functions within the TomTom 920T are very similar to other models. I upgraded from the 910 and did notice some very good changes in its software, and in its ability to do a bit more configuration than on the TomTom 910.

One of the things that I like the most, aside from its new redesigned shape was its ability to search for different POI's (Points Of Interest) with better matching results while at the same time providing you a lot of additional information, such as distance, physical address, map overview, phone number (if available) and yes, the ability to dial it directly.

By the way, this is something that Garmin GPS devices have always been able to do, including searching restaurants by food type, e.g. Italian, Mexican, Chinese, etc. With the exception of this last search feature, I do believe that the new TomTom takes it one step further, which is good.

This upgraded feature is very important, because as most TomTom users know, previous versions of TomTom POI search, would just result in a long list of POI's matching what ever you input and nothing more. For example, if you typed Best Buy, you would get a list of all Best Buy stores in the county, but without any distance information, map preview, address or phone number!

This would obviously force you to route each resulting POI one by one, until you finally obtained the one that you really wanted, which was a waste of time! Well, not any more and I am very glad that TomTom made this very necessary upgrade!

Here is a list of things that I noticed:

The light sensor gone from the top and now sitting very discreetly in the front.

The remote control has been improved and is now Bluetooth.

It seems to me that it is somewhat faster in performing any commands faster than its predecessor.

Accepting spoken directions is a plus and has worked well for me so far, no complaints.

The screen is huge and seems to have been improved, because I now can see everything much better than on the previous model in bright sunny days.

The speaker sounds fragile with the default voice, compared to the 910, but sounds much better with a human voice and the music sounds great!

You can now hear all instructions through your car speakers by tuning it to an empty radio station. I tried it, but did not like it at all, too much static and sound is extremely low, could be because I live in downtown Los Angeles.

The included RF transmitter is a winner, it is very accurate in obtaining traffic data and I notice that it does so upon turning it on and it updates itself periodically as I am driving. However, it would have been better if they would have built it into the unit in order to avoid another wire from hanging from the unit.

Phone integration is great and fast, the sound quality is very good and I have been told by people who I call that it sounds very good. I make and receive between 200 to 300 calls a day, so this is a plus! Unfortunately, it does not sync well with my Palm Treo 750, so I miss out on many other TomTom extra features that requre my cell phone in order to be able to obtain data, such as weather information, map downloads, gas prices, etc.

I also do notice that its ability not to lose signal is improved, which is good, since as I have already mentioned, I live in downtown LA.

The included software is also great and much better than previous versions of TomTom Home.

What's in the box? The TomTom 910, the RF transmitter, car charger, windshield cradle, desktop cradle, remote control, software and manuals.

All in all it is a great GPS unit, very nicely and intelligently designed and the only reason I do not give it a 5 is because of the use of an external RF transmitter, instead of a built in one and lack of important travelling tools, such as those found in several of the Garmin units.

I feel that TomTom, given their current market share and being so strong in Europe should include different measurement and currency conversion tools, as well as a different language translator and a virtual tour guide program similar to those found in several of the Garmin units.

This thing fits in the pocket of your shirt! If I were sightseeing in France, I would want to have access to these types of tools!

However, to be fair, the new TomTom 920T does include a several great features not found in other units, specifically the Help Me feature which, will assist you in many emergencies such as in letting you know where you are, instruct you where to walk to your closest emergency assistance point or even guide you in applying first aid!

I highly recommended to anyone and I do hope that TomTom will improve their already magnificent product with the suggestions that I have made, maybe one day TomTom will team up with Google and provide similar information as MSN does for the Garmin NUVI.
