When you turn it on, you'll also notice the increased performance and features the 920s packs into their slimmer form.

Rating: - Excellent features make this GPS a top value for the money
My wife and I bought a GO 930 for our recent trip to Portugal.The main difference between the 920 and 930 is the 930 also has the Europe map preloaded.This is the reason we picked the 930.The Europe map is expensive to download and a hassle to install. In the end the GO 930 was a great deal because the Europe map sells for $180, so we actually saved money by going top-of-the line instead of something that retails for $200-$300 without the Europe map.However, if you don't plan to travel often ...

TomTom 1M00.981 GO 920T Portable GPS Vehicle Navigator with Traffic Receiver
I purchased this product because I wanted to try the new "traffic reporting" feature.I never got there!
Twice the Tom Tom told me to go in the wrong direction off the highway. I was testing it in familiar territory. If I had not known where I was, it would have told me "off route" and I would not have known why I was turning around.
The system defaulted to MUTE and each time I turned off the car it went silent. ... Read More
Rating: - What a mess, but where to begin?
I purchased my 920T in March of 2008, so here is my 6 month 2000 mile review.

Pros:
1.If you enjoy a leisurely trip in the evening, with no regard for efficiency the 920T is for you.
2.Acquires the satellites very quick.
3.Mapshare is a nice, but does it work?

Cons:
1.Battery life is terrible.At most you are looking at one hour.
2.Battery life on blu tooth remote is just as bad.I was replacing two AAA's once a week.
3.If you choose ... Read More
Rating: - I love this thing
I am really impressed with this GPS.I've used my Dell Axim in the past with Mapopolis.They went out of business so I needed something new.After a friend of mine bought a cheaper Tom Tom, I looked at what was out there, and I wanted the voice commands after I saw it.It is a little quirky at first, but I wouldn't trade it now.I also love the remote control.

The only things that I wish worked better were:
1. The FM transmitter - in a vehicle with the antenna in the front of the car works ... Read More
