I purchased the TomTom GO 930 because I needed a system that could navigate both European and American maps. When I looked at the Garmin Nuvi 770, I was immediately suspicious when the product in their store failed to work as it should. I decided to move on and try the TomTom instead, and I’ve never been happier. For one thing, it picks up the satellite signals very quickly. I was pleased to see that, not only could I get the fastest routes calculated for driving, I could also get them for walking and bicycling. I also love the way you can customize the preference screen. Though I have only used it in the Atlanta area, I’ve found those maps to be surprisingly accurate. There is one problem, though, and that is that the TomTom seems not able to deal with a street number that also contains a letter. It’s also a problem because the company’s tech support is difficult to reach. I don’t yet know how helpful the TomTom will be in Europe, but I’ll hope for the best!

The 2008 TomTom GO 930T GPS device is the top of the line in its series. Some of its new features include IQ™ routes. This function calculates best routes based on highway speed rather than speed limits. In addition the screen now helps the user navigate difficult junctions. When such a road difficulty arises, the system’s screen automatically switches to one which shows the roads larger and in more detail. The GO930T is also traffic ready when you open it from the package, and it comes with a one-year subscription. Perhaps one of its best features that other models don’t have is its ability to give you uninterrupted navigation, even in areas where satellite connection is momentarily disrupted. Voice address Input makes it easy to use the device hands free. With Bluetooth capability, an emergency menu, and preloaded maps, the TomTom GO 930T is a quality product and a great value for you.
