Amazon.com Product Description -- 10/02/08
The GO 920 and it's sibling, the 920T, are TomTom's new flagship portable GPS navigators, replacing the GO 910. The GO 920T comes bundled with TomTom's RDS-TMC traffic receiver and a one-year subscription to the Clear Channel traffic service, which allows users to receive real-time traffic information. The traffic receiver is sold as a separate accessory for the GO 920.

widescreen view
The 4.3-inch (diagonal) 3D driving view offers a clear picture of the road and maneuvers ahead (actual size).

The first big difference you'll notice is that the 920s are much thinner than the 910. TomTom introduced this slim form factor with last year's ONE. With the release of the top-of-the-line 920s, TomTom now offers a full range of units in the new form factor (see a feature comparison for all of TomTom's GO and ONE devices ($33.99)). When you turn it on, you'll also notice the increased performance and features the 920s packs into their slimmer form.

What's New -- Enhanced Positioning Technology
TomTom's new Enhanced Positioning Technology uses movement and gravity sensors to calculate drivers' positions when GPS signals are unavailable. This helps the device continue to navigate to its destination, even when there may not be a direct line-of-sight connection to a satellite (for example, when driving in a city with tall buildings, underpasses or bridges).

What's New -- Voice Prompted Address Entry
Voice prompted address entry gives users the option to speak the address to which they want to drive. Users can simply speak the city, street name and address number they would like to travel to, and the device will automatically calculate the route.

TomTom Mapshare
MapShare lets you add your own map corrections and POIs, then share them with the entire TomTom user community via the TomTom HOME website

What's New -- Map Share
The GO 920 includes TomTom's innovative new Map Share technology. Map Share enables users to make easy changes to the map and to share map corrections with other TomTom customers so that users always have the most up-to-date maps available.

Widescreen View and FM Transmitter
See more. Hear more. The GO 920 offers a 4.3-inch, extra-wide, touch-screen LCD display that features anti-glare technology for easy viewing even in direct sunlight. Realistic and clear visual instructions are provided with high-quality 3D graphics, while spoken instructions tell you where you need to go in your own language. As an added convenience, text-to-speech functionality provides you with actual street names. The built-in FM Transmitter to play music and navigation instructions over the car stereo.

    5 out of 5 stars LIfe saver in Europe   November 24, 2008
    Mark A. Mcintyre
    I am writing this after just having my TomTom 920 stolen from my car. So, get this unit and keep it safe...

    I took this on a month long trip to Europe with my family. We drove extensivly in the UK and Portugal. This unit worked flawlessly everywhere.

    We rented small cottages and apartments in several locations and the 920 found them without fail. It handled senic route changes with ease and gave us great confidense to travel about without worry.

    IN the UK it was especially handy for us Yanks dealing with the left side drive. As we would approach one of the countless roundabouts. The unit shows and tells you to stay left and which exit of the roundabout to take. It made my left side drive headache smaller.



    5 out of 5 stars Tom Tom lets you Go Go!   November 17, 2008
    T. Pagnozzi (New England, USA)
    Tom Tom Go 920 is everything as described. Very easy to use. Got this for my folks who are in their 70's. Turned it on set their home address, chose a voice and a few options and ready set go. Technology to them is beyond their imagination. Yard sale hunting for them now will be a breeze!
    Excellent product.



    5 out of 5 stars Works Great   November 14, 2008
    Michael R. Frary (Bay Area, CA)
    Easy to use, clear, and accurate. Easily compensates for mistakes or changes in the route. If you don't know the exact address for a store or hotel or whatever you can browse through a menu to find the place you're looking for in a particular zip code. Bluetooth syncs just fine with Motorolla Razr phone.


    4 out of 5 stars great   October 5, 2008
    Alex (Wilton CT)
    We have just moved to CT where it is very hilly and the roads have no logic. The Tom Tom has helped us find our way from point A to B. It quickly recalulates new directions when we take a wrong turn. Have not lost the signal unless we venture into NY and go underground for a while. My only complaint is there is no standby button to push when you are at your destination and are going somewhere you know how to get to. The only way to shut off the computer is to turn it off or turn the volume down. I would definately recomend the Tom Tom.


    5 out of 5 stars Works in Europe and the US   October 4, 2008
    Isaac S. Kohane (Newton, MA USA)
    I saw some reviews that described difficulties in some of the Garmin and TomTom line in acquiring signal and location. I purchased the 920 because it appeared to have all the maps preloaded for the US and Europe but I was skeptical and a little confused by the tape covering the SD card slot with a note printed on it to the effect that no extra memory was required. But I should not have been skeptical. The unit worked wonderfully in several European countries in small towns and cities alike. Very effective navigation directions, always clear and with signal acquisition in well under 60 seconds. The updates over the Internet worked flawlessly using the included software (but I had to use a Windows emulator on my Mac because there was no Mac version). It also works flawlessly in the US. The one nit; it does not seem to last more than 2 hours without a charge so I drive with it plugged into the vehicle's DC outlet.
