TomTom GO 930T GPS Review

Sunday, March 1st, 2009 at 6:33 am

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!
