The TomTom 910.
Well this mere mortal is here again. Over the years I have owned 3 TomTom devices, the TomTom Classic, TomTom 500 and now the TomTom 910. Family members are benefiting from my cast-offs in a big way. So imagine my delight when visiting my local Halfords on the 3rd of May 2006 to purchase screen wash, I found myself being mysteriously drawn by an unknown force to the GPS display. I could feel my credit card trembling in fear, in a ... ...What's in the Box
TomTom Go 910
A change from the 300/500/700 series, it has a 4 inch screen; this is smaller than the last series but still easy to view. The unit is a slightly different shape; it's a bit pointier at the back. There are some new features on the unit: - A light sensor, I have found this very useful, it measures the light inside the vehicle and adjusts the level, it also turns to night view when it gets dark. The microphone is ...

Advantages: fast, accurate, great support, tons of worthwhile features Disadvantages: bit ugly and bulky
I ended up getting the TomTom 910 as a result of a crap experience with the Navman 720. Best mistake I ever made!
The TomTom was recommended to me by several people but I wentmy own way and bought the Navman 720. I like the looks of it and the inbuilt camera. I had nothing but problems. In the end, the company I bought it from offered me the pick of the GPS systems they sold - after much research I chose the 910.
Whereas the Navman would take upto ... ...of Interest available for the TomTom than any other GPS out there. Everything from Hilton Hotels, B&Q, KFC to naughty underwear stores, car main dealers, petrol stations (including by make if you are particular) to every kind of attraction. An essential POI is the speed camera database and the 910 is superb at warning you about these!
The 910 comes with European and US maps but you can buy more if you need them but this alone makes it useful outside ...

Quick review of TomTom GO 910
i have been through the tomtom list of go's, started with the 500, had it stolen. got a 700, had it stolen from my car on my own drive under cctv, got a 910 and have had a few problems with this. the original mount has a known fault which gives problems with the microphone and speaker, so i contacted tomtom c/s and they sent a replacement, when this arrived it solved the problem, hower a second fault on the new dock was that the charging light comes on, but the t/t does not charge, so i contacted t/t and again their answer was to send another series two dock, which has the same fault, just to prove it was not the t/t, i tried it on the old dock and it charged fine, it is an excellent piece of kit, shame about the let downs on the widscreen dock, watch this space ...

Quick review of TomTom GO 910
NOT impressed! just as bad as ONE xl... I'm a business travellers and I do over 1000 miles a week. I used this system for 6 months and during that time it navigated me to the wrong address 20% of the time, this is very frustrating when you are trying to reach your next meeting. I am afraid this is yet another attempt by Tomtom, and others alike, to come up with many useless features on their sat nav systems and totally forgetting the point of having a satellite navigation system. I now own a German made sat nav Grundig Nav 100, which has yet to let me down after 5 months. ...

Advantages: Good for 2 uses Disadvantages: shoddy craftsmanship and abysmal customer service
I've owned this product a mere two weeks and after just 2 uses it fell apart. I was really excited about this product too, as a good alternative to mapquest and other online internet map sites, but after all the frustration and horrible customer service I wouldn't even recommend this product to my worst enemy. The screen froze and couldn't be turned off, causing it to overheat which than caused the screen to crack when touched. To make matters worse ...

...the failure, I feel that TomTom should recall the mounts. In fact, it appears that TomTom has realised this problem and pre-emptively issued a new mounting bracket which improves the mounting of the unit to the bracket. See http://www.mytomtomgo.com/full_review_tomtom_go_910.php
I've not received my new mount yet, but if you purchase a new unit for £490 and get 3 days use out of it, you'll definitely reconsider your purchase!

Advantages: Easy to use, large widescreen, big memory, safe Disadvantages: Mount isn't very stable
I feel the Tomtom 910 is the best GPS system out there so far. All it needs is the speed camera detector like the snooper. It comes with many functions including bluetooth connectivity so you can connect it to your mobile phone. Then you can make and receive calls through the GPS with a built in loud speaker and external microphone.
I have had only one problem with the Tomtom 910, it crashed and wouldnt turn back on but all I had to do is hit the ... ...is a design fault or Tomtom just made a rubbish design in the mount for the Tomtom 910. When you lock it into place it still moves when you got the Tomtom in place and you hit bumps on the road. And lets be honest their are lots of little bumps all over the place.
The worst part of the Tomtom 910 (for me) is that when you got the sound on mute (because I cannot stand the annoying turn right rurn left jargon) it doesn't make any noise when your approaching ...

...optimised.
User Interface - TomTom GPS devices are known for their excellent user interface and the GO 910 is no exception, offering a similar interface to the One and GO 500 units. The menu features clear and colourful icons that can be likened to a mobile phone menu, so browsing is simple and easy. As with previous TomTom units, everything is operated via the 4in touch screen Most of the GO 910's operations can be accessed via the main menu, which ... ...or near a specific destination. TomTom has upgraded the software to ensure street names are filtered by suburb, although the software still doesn't allow you to search for a street name first, only a suburb. Easy of Use - A great feature of this GPS system is that it is very easy to use for first time buyers (i.e. anyone not owned a GPS before, like myself). The screen is large, bright and responsive and the tracking system is ver quick loading and ...
