TOMTOM 920....NEARLY FANTASTIC
Since my purchase of my TOMTOM 920T, I can only say that it is
a very,very good satnav. I looked at all reviews and was in two
minds as to the Navman or TOMTOM. On reading these reviews I was
concerned as to "loss of signal" reported. I very much feel that
you will lose a signal on rare occasions. BUT I strongly suspect
that loss of signal is more down to position of satnav in the
vehicle and certain windscreens not letting a good signal through.
Have not lost a signal in approx. 35 full days usage. After going through tunnels, i.e. Blackwall and Dartford signal is back within 100yds.

Having already had a good deal of experience with a Navman 510 for
many years. I think the Tomtom is superior, but times have moved
on and the Tomtom should of course be better. Many aspects of the
Tomtom are just brillant, but a few areas let it down. Navman is
very good at letting you find an exact location and scrolling north/south/east/west is so much easier on the Navman.
Tomtom seems more realiant on postcodes and house numbers.
But many locations are not addresses, i.e 'football stadium'
almost always has surrounding roads for home and away supporters.
It can be difficult to quickly scroll to exact parking location.

Lack of home charger and no protective case is just mean.
Recommend buyers of this model going to Tesco's and buying
a medium camera case which fits the Tomtom great all for
£3.47p. As for the charger I got mine on Ebay for £11.99p(original).

Blutooth works very well with very little distortion and traffic
system is recommended.

Lots or reports or windscreen mounts dropping off windscreen.
I find if the windscreen is very clean and sucker firmly positioned
then it does not drop off.

Manual should have a bit more information than just basic useage,
as not every one may have computer access for full version of manual.

Built in speed limits have a few discrepencies and my Tomtom runs at
3/4mph less than my cars digital speedo. But which is correct?

I would like a constant reminder of battery status.

If you are thinking of buying a satnav look at every review you can to
determine which one suits your needs. My Tomtom 920T will be going on many overseas trips on my coach which I really feel is more than just
up to the job.

I find the share map corrections and self map corrections brillant,
and have changed a wrong way 'one way' system.

A significant improvement
Ordered it with a little trepidation having read some mixed reviews of the initial production 720 models. However, Amazon's price drop to just over £300 helped and so, within 3 hours of delivery, it was earning its keep.

The windscreen mount is so much better than my old 910 and has not dropped off once despite very cold conditions. Bluetooth link to my Nokia phone worked perfectly despite the 6300 not being listed on the compatibility chart. And, unlike the 910, everyone I have spoken to via the TomTom can actually understand me now!

Boots up faster, EPT seemed to work when in a city yesterday and the touch screen is very clear and quick to respond. Thought the reversion to a power cable to fix to the car mounted TomTom would annoy but the connector is so easy to fit, it is not a problem.

No problems connecting to TomTom Home V 2.0.

Had some distortion at first from the speaker but a very gentle press of the speaker housing cured it without need for any further action and the voice is clear and the voice activated command function also seems ok.

Why only 4 stars? Well, no case included so I had to buy the hard case separately. Re the case, many have complained about the zip. it is a tight fit but by being pre-warned, I've found that gently closing it has worked so far! Include a case and 5 stars would be forthcoming.

All in all, a success.

920 T is worth every penny
This is my first Sat Nav and it ticks all the right boxes. Setup is easy and simple, the software works the very first time (no repeated installs - atleast on my Windows XP laptop). The GPS quick fix (via PC or laptop) is a really useful feature - it downloads the satellite positions for the next 7 days so that TomTom can lock on almost instantly to one or more of them. The GPS function itself is ultra-sensitive and very accurate. I've never been misled even once on London roads. The FM transmitter works very well with my Ford Mondeo - absolutely no issues here. The downside is that the windscreen mount is not too good and there's a little trick to fixing it so that it does not fall off - the TomTom Alternative mount should be instead provided as standard as its more reliable. Also bought a protective clear plastic cover on Amazon and a PDair Leather case on ebay. All in all - am happy with my purchase - despite the minor niggles.
