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.

    Average Rating: out of 5 stars
    Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Worst GPS
    Worst GPS! Costly map update, traffic service. It will make you go around the block every single time if your destination is on the left hand side, which is the most stupid thing ever. No lane assist!

    Save your money and go with the Navigon or other GPS.

    Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Going in the right direction now.
    I am very happy with my gps. I never used one before and it arrived at my house just in time for me to take a trip from R.I. to the Boston Garden to see Celtic's. Took me right to the parking garage without a hitch. And no problem at all coming home. From a guy who needs directions to get out of a phone booth. lol Not Bad !!!

    The first tests are positive. There are some adjustments to be made, I will know more after a long trip to Eastern Europe.

    I bought my TomTom less than a year ago.It does good navigation with nice voice.I use it occasionally - nowhere near everyday but only when I'm going someplace new.I always stored it in a nice case.

    It always had issues getting a satellite connection.Sometimes it took so long to find a connection I would be home before it found one.5 minutes plus at minimum - not good if you're lost in a new part of the city!Also, in any place with tall buildings, it would get confused ...
