This is the replacement for the old 910, improvments include a much slimmer design, a 4GB internal memory instead of a SD card, a built in FM transmitter so you can use your car speakers for sound and has maps of everywhere in the world covered by tomtom.
The 4.3" widescreen means you can navigate with the touch of a finger or voice recognition and you can store frequently visited places so you don't have to type in a location every time. Watch the screen or listen to the spoken instructions on where to go, couldn't be easier ! You can even select different voices, but I guarantee you'll go back to Jane in the end.
For me a huge bonus is the hands-free mobile phone calling via bluetooth. The unit even takes a copy of all your mobile numbers out of your phone automatically so you can dial people directly from your tomtom without picking up your phone! A remote control is sold separately also (Your 910 remote wont work with this one)
This model comes with all the speed camera locations loaded onto it, which could save you the price of the tomtom in speeding fines and via the web and "tomtom home" you can get regular updates. Similarly railway stations, shopping centres etc can be obtained, also you can load in grouped items like Tesco sites, congestion charge zones or BP petrol stations plus hundreds of others if you connect it to your PC every now and again. (Many free web-sites)
On the down side these are top of burglar Bill's Christmas list so never leave it in the car if you can help it, they might even see the window bracket or the mark it leaves on the window and break-in just to check the car for you. (Been there, done that!) also you will have to buy a case to carry it in.
A sound investment if you do a lot of driving or can't find your way out of a paper bag, plus this unit saves you the price of a hands-free car kit for your phone. I could never go back to using maps again now, Get one you won't regret it !

If this your first Satnav you are in for an extraordinary experience. This machine is little short of miraculous. It has an astonishingly full list of features, but a few of the most amazing are:
Its connectivity. Jump into the car with your mobile switched to Bluetooth and when you switch the Tomtom on, it connects automatically and then confirms verbally that it has done so. Naturally you will have already downloaded by bluetooth all of your phones directory, so when you want to make a call, just press the phone icon on the screen, scroll to either one of several recently dialled numbers, or one from your downloaded directory, press the screen again and off you go. You can receive calls from the screen as well. You talk hands free of course...the quality is excellent. But you can also transmit your calls via your radio. The Tomtom broadcasts a radio signal to whatever frequency is not being used by any other station (you choose by tuning the radio up the FM band until you find a spot where there is no other signal. All you have to do then is input that frequency into the Tomtom when it asks you for it) and Bob's your uncle. Both the spoken directions and your phone call can now be heard over all the car speakers.
You can also plug in a 2GB secure digital and play all your MP3s via the radio. The quality is....well you know what i'm going to say.
What about what Satnavs are for? This is truly the cream. In all the time I've had mine, I keep trying to fool it by deliberately going a different route. Usually in less than 3 seconds it has a new route mapped out and off you go again.
The amount of information it provides on the chosen route is superb. It will tell you automatically the total distance for the route, the expected time of arrival, (which is updated constantly if you encounter lighter or heavier traffic than expected. It will beep if you exceed 30mph at any time, (if that is the trigger speed you set, it’s your choice) It shows the speed limit for the road you are on automatically and warns if you exceed it, etc, etc, etc.
I recently took it on a driving holiday to Majorca...It not only knew which were one way streets in towns on the island, it also knew which street numbers were where.!!!! How the heck does it do that.
On the way home I switched it on in the plane, (the stewardess said that was no problem) and hilariously, Tomtom advised we were doing a ground speed of 529mph over the Pyrenees and it kept trying to recalculate a route, advising me all the time of the name of each town and village we were passing over. Honestly, you couldn't make it up.
To sum up, if there is anything this bu**er can't do, I haven't thought of it yet.
Buy it. You won't be sorry.

A very useful device, most of Eastern European countries included as well.
However, there a few problems:
1. It's an Northern American version - it doesn't recognize spoken addresses in Europe unless you update it yourself, download this file and unpack it in the folder with European maps: http://www.tomtom.com/updates/
but first you will have to delete all the files starting with cspeech*.* from the folder with Northern American maps.
2. While plugged into the cigarette lighter it keeps switching off unless you first switch the unit on and only then plug it into the charger, or, otherwise, choose an option YES when asked to connect to the computer.
3. Download and update the firmware - gpsfix as it tends to get lost quite often - mine did a few times taken out of the box, after updating seems to be working fine.
Otherwise, the delivery was very quick, the unit brand new, and so far I'm quite happy with it, although the 910 had a 20GB hard drive and 920 has got 4GB of internal memory only, most of it used so it's advisable to get an extra memory card as well.
Thanks, Peter

Sellers not advising of imported model,Review created: 07/03/08
by:
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.
I ordered this tomtom 920 because of the reviews i had read. My only gripe is it is very annouying when the seller does not advise within the listing that the items they are selling are imported. This sometimes leads to difference in spec between what is standard between counrty specific standard issue to model, and warranty not being covered in the country where it was purchased due to it being "none standard" in the country of purchase.
Overall i am happy with the item, but because of the above reasons i have marked the seller from Excellent to Good because of the reasons stated.

tom tom from nottingham8 of 10 people found this review helpful.
The tom tom is fantastic .but it took a week to arrive i was not allowed to collect from nottingham.was it there on in usa? the emails came back USA time!
I passed trough nottingham three times after i had paid for tom tom 920.
after a few days i got a tracing number from the seller.other wise i will have missed the delivery, and had to go back to ilkeston to collect it 5 miles out of nottingham.
this seller need some one in the uk to email and pack the items in my opinion.
my son brought one 6 days after me and got hi the day after me.
the postage was steep at £17 but a penny. slow to arrive and poor coms.
ebay can do it my son paid £7 less for the same item and £6.99p less for postage my falt I know dont you make the same mistake.
I can not blame the product its fine just the seller nottingham USA.
hong kong delivery is quicker and cheaper.

Tom Tom NoGo 9203 of 3 people found this review helpful.
sitting here in France just south of la rochelle i wonder how i got here,the Tom Tom GO 920 we bought for the trip has been nothing but trouble.
The first problem arose when the route it wanted to send us down had not been built yet, the diggers were still grading the slope, still on to the next off ramp and the gps appeared to recalculate the route. however the indicated path took us down a very narrow street and over a VERY narrow bridge so narrow i could not turn around so pressing on we were led up a steep and again narrow road with a drop of approx 200ft andmy wife is not good with heights.
Somtimes it shows us driving across what looks like fields when we are on well
established roads.
somtimes (often) at the start of the day it will shut down every 5 or so mins and without being touched will change voices and once even started talking in french.
I would not buy this make again

setting up for european use
) 3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
This is a very nicely featured GPS but if you get the US version and need to use it with the European maps then you will need to install some additional voice files which you can get by contacting the excellent TomTom support desk.
The installed maps etc use practically all the available disk space but don't just delete the maps you don't use on a daily basis backup the unit to you PC first, then copy the maps not required to disk. NB the build in software will save as zipped folders remember to use extract to and the TomTom destination when copying back or the this wont work.

This TOM TOM 920 is the best in the world, It's easy to opporate.
The best things that i most need for my job is the hands free and Traffic info because i am a driver the drives from Luton to London everyday and use the hands free and the traffic info alot of the time.
For the Nav side to this TomTom 920 it was very Excellent in taking the shortest route saving me time and money.

A very nice tool to use.
TomTom need to do better with the software as it was very hit and miss using TomTom Home, nobody tells you that you need to open an account with TomTom first before your device is recognised.
A small point but very important.

tomtom 920 gps receiver2 of 3 people found this review helpful.
After having 4 strokes i have found it very difficult to drive my car, but after buying the TomTom 920 my wife & i had a holiday in the lake district using The TomTom 920. I found that it took a lot of pressure off me by guiding us with faultless, clear instructions. All i had to do was concentrate on turning the steering wheel following TomTom guidence instructions. We had a faultless journey there and back thanks to TomTom. Now, everytime i drive i take it with me, the pressure it takes off me as a stroke victim is unbelieveable, i don't have to think where to turn, just watchout for other vehicles and get us there safe & sound.We take for granted everything we are born with but, when something is taken away like i had you cannot imagine the pleasure i felt when i found i could drive again with the help of my TomTom 920.

Refurbished2 of 3 people found this review helpful.
The item is what it says on the auction, a refurbished product. The only downside to purchasing a refurbished product is that you run the risk of slight cosmetic damage. Everything works as it should but if you're in for a TomTom920 and you're considering a refurbished product or a brand new one, I'd pay the extra fiver and purchase a brand new one. If you're int he market for a TomTom920 as a gift, I strongly recommend staying away from a refurbished one. A brand new one not only gives you personal satisfaction from a cosmetic viewpoint, but also comes boxed like a product out of a store. You could get away with a pretty damn good refurbished product in which you can't tell the difference, but most likely, you'll get a product that's been opened but also has some signs of wear and tear. For the price I paid for a refurb(£178+insurance), you could easily get a brand new one on eBay for a little more or the same amount, if not cheaper. At the time, I didn't notice the refurbished category on the sellers page.

Tomtom 9201 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Just replaced my simply excellent tomtom 910 with a 920. My son reminded me of the lack of a birthday present, so, very reluctantly, I sent the 910 to Germany. I have used it extensively in Great Britain and most western european countries, particularly Spain. Apart from needing it's reset fingy clicked 3 times (due to being on in roasting hot, parked cars,) it's been boringly reliable and a major asset. My shiny 'new' ('refurbed' by tom tom?! but looks NEW to me!) is slimmer, and has various features, fixings, and other minor differences from the 910. Seems like a smaller choice of voices, although you can download more, but the one I preferred wasn't present, initially, on the 920. However, you now can easily find a 920 on Ebay for around £150 -or even less, and, as you have USA and Europe maps built-in, that's close to a free gift. The very latest 930 has yet more fancy features including lane guidance and even better graphics. Tomtoms can not only answer your phone, hands free, with bluetooth, but can read your incoming texts aloud, and hold hundreds of tunes and picture slideshow. TomTom is a serious boon for the traveller, and whilst I have no experience of the numerous alternative satnavs flooding the market, I doubt I could be bothered to even try a different make. So I can strongly recommend the real bargain 920, and if my kid scrounges my 920 next year, I hope the 930 price will have come down by then! To set up a tomtom is utterly simple, and you'll be fully conversant with the essentials in next to no time. Obviously, one can still navigate using maps, and there's merit in having one aboard, but tomtom eliminates the need to stop and check. Should you make an error on a roundabout, for example, tomo will immediately recalculate and advise how to rejoin your chosen route. Sometimes, if you're really wrong, you'll be advised to turn around when possible. 'Road Closed' is no problem, route recalc'd in seconds. Once you've had one, I doubt you'll ever want to be without. I'm well able to nav, having both a (lapsed) PPL and a yachtmaster ticket, but for stress-free motoring, particularly over longer distances, I'll use the Tomo thanks. Hope this helps your decision.
