Great produce, and super fast shippingNovember 2, 2008 I had a problem with another company on getting the right GPS and it being delayed weeks because it wasn't in stock, even though the site stated it was in stock. I went thru Amazon and got a good price and the GPS was at my door very fast. It actually arrived a day earlier than the site said it would be here.
best gps yetOctober 26, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I first had a older tomtom one.When it was stolen from me last year(listen to the warnings about not leaving them visable in your car)I got a Garmin nuvi 750 because at the time(before IQ routing)Garmin was supposed to have the best North American routing.I was disapointed in the Garmin routing.It avoided interstates and major highways to much,especially on longer trips. So I got the new TomTom 930.TomTom IQ routing is the best routing yet.It is often even better than online maping programs.The traffic reciver is also good.If I were driving a big rig or large rv (I used to be a truck driver)I would be cautious of traffic reroutes(from the traffic reciever) because they will sometimes take you through the country to avoid traffic,great in a car but maybe a little scary in a real large vehical.TomToms extra routing options over Garmin units can also be handy.
Low quality device, bad maps, poor supportOctober 14, 2008 5 out of 8 found this review helpful
I made the big mistake to buy a TomTom 930 unit instead of a cheaper satnav device. naively thinking that I would get the latest and the most complete maps of USA, Canada and Europe, a high quality satnav device and good support from TomTom.
Apart from the fact that TomTom 930 has several major flaws that cannot be easily fixed, such as having an LCD screen that appears to be of very low quality (cheap) and that is not properly viewable in a car under certain normal natural lighting conditions, I have been also unpleasantly astonished to discover that actually TomTom 930 does not come with the most complete map of Europe as advertised, and even the TomTom "Latest Map Guarantee" update does not install the most complete map of Europe.
The TomTom 930 product description clearly states that: "TomTom GO 930 comes with the latest and most complete maps of Europe, US and Canada pre-installed on 4GB internal memory".
So I have bought the device and I have used the TomTom "Latest Map Guarantee" in order to update the maps. After the update which required the download of several gigabytes of data, the TomTom software reports that the version of the map of Europe on my device is not the most complete and it invites me to buy a more complete map of Europe for 189.95 US dollars or 99.95 British pounds from TomTom.
I have contacted TomTom support, I have explained the situation to them and I have asked them to make "the latest and most complete maps of Europe, US and Canada", as advertised in the TomTom 930 product description, available for installation on my TomTom 930 unit.
TomTom support are utterly wasting my time and insist that the map of Europe on my TomTom 930 is the most complete map of Europe for my device, despite the fact that the TomTom software clearly reports that the map is not the most complete map of Europe.
I expected that I would get better support from TomTom, considering the money that I had spent on buying the more expensive TomTom 930 instead of a cheaper satnav device.
I also expected competent technical support from TomTom in solving this problem, which would simply require making the correct version of the maps available for installation on my TomTom 930 unit. I think that this problem should be very easy to solve compared to hardware or software defects.
The TomTom support call is wasting too much of my time, which is completely unacceptable.
TomTom Go 930 good purchase but patience is a mustOctober 8, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've been using this device for over 2 months and have tested it in NYC and the Tri-State area, Houston-Texas and while on vacation in Hawaii (3 different islands).
I pay close attention to what other Amazon consumers say about there purchases. When I choose to buy the 930 I read almost all the reviews available on Amazon and other sites.
Overall I am happy with my purchase but I think that is because I have come to expect the TomTom product has flaws. I previously had a 2006 version installed on my PDA device and after using that for 2 years I learned there were certain shortcomings with TomTom in general. I have never used another GPS device but from what I've read, TomTom seems to lack updated USA maps compared to others.
The 930 device works really well but if you are looking and more importantly depending on getting to an exact address as your destination, I would guess you will be disappointed at least 40% of the time.
While on vacation in Hawaii, the 930 got us close to our destinations but in some cases was a block or two short. In Texas, we experienced similar results and in some cases we were on the wrong side of the road. In the NYC area I find it to be really accurate.
The 930 has tons of cool features that makes me happy with the purchase. Once TomTom as a whole gets it's act together with updated maps the device will be well worth the money. Like many other TomTom owners, it can be very frustrating when you are trying to get somewhere and you don't arrive at your exact location. But I like my device and I would recommend you buying the product with the understanding the USA maps needs work.
