Customer Review: TomTom: don;t know how i survived without it
I bought this for a holiday to drive to France, from caen to paris and then down into the loire valley and the home via St malo.
I took my family with me and i don’t think i could have survived without it..it’s fabulous.
Its easy to use gives glear audiable instructions, the mapping is excellent and gives accurate distances. It has so many addresses and points of interest on it including pertrol stattions.
I managed to drive around paris in rush hour on my way to euro disney and my wife and i didn’t fall out and didn’t get lost…thats got to be an endoresment!!
I use it at home now also for finding hotels and houses…its a bit like having a mobile phone, you don;t think you need one then afterwards you can’t imaging life without it.

Customer Review: tomtom rds-tmc
After reading many comments on the rds-tmc l thought l would add my own. Having installed unit which was bought from amazon 2 weeks ago l have found the following. 1/ During journeys(far travelled) l have signal lock approx.80% of the time(green circle) 2/ Traffic information should only be used as an indication of road conditions and not used as real time. 3/ Sometimes when starting a journey signal lock is not found and investigating further l find that frequencies are not being scanned. removing rds-tmc jack and plugging in again always starts scanning and signal lock. 4/ In my car location of aerial does not seem to make a huge difference in performance although l have settled for a vertical position tight against the drivers side windscreen pillar, with most or the aerial behind the pillar trim. 5/ Selection of country(UK)/strongest frequency gave same results with signal lock and l’ve found operation to be reliable and stable. In my experience I’ve found the Tmc to be a handy but not essential addition to my TomTom 910 with the added traffic display giving added insight to the traffic conditions. Just remember point 2. 6/ Further update. Travelled up west coast to Oban and found coverage poor. Signal lock only for about 30% of journey. Radio signal also lost during large parts of trip.
Customer Review: A load of rubbish
I went yesterday from London to Torbay and it picked up 2/34 hours of delay on the M5 near Taunton,the highways agency and my trafiic reports said all clear.In reality it was all clear,On the way back it reported a similar delay in the same area! The same result,absolutely clear,my advice is to check all information or else it will divert you all over the country for no reason

Customer Review: Shoddy
I bought this based on the previous reviews only to be very disappointed. The retaining clip on uk charger accessory has snapped off (now held together with fetching colour coordinated red electricians tape). The zip on the carry case has come off after using it twice, pathetic. Snug fit? Snug like trying to get into an old pair of jeans, looks good but you just .. can’t .. get .. the .. top button .. fastened. You get the message .. CAVEAT EMPTOR. Servus.
Customer Review: Worth it on the web
I bought this after getting the 920 on Amazon, as the 920 was such good value via Amazon I didn’t mind splashing out on this, and it is definately worth it if you have 2 cars, if you don’t then it may be better value to get the bits individually. You get a case that fits perfectly, the TomTom only goes in one way and fits well and the zip works great. The fast charger is really good, it works home and abroad, and acts as a second computer adaptor, as the end of the lead is a USB port, that obviously fits your pc or it fits the included adaptor that then fits the included universal plug selections - clever stuff!! Note - the adaptor has a little removeable section to fit the plug, when you get it you will see what i mean. It works brilliantly. If you have a 2nd car then the sucker for windscreen and cigar lighter charger will be useful as well. All in all a well thought out bit of kit. Even if you buy your TomTom on the high street, this is an essential accessory pack, its just cheaper this way all round!!!

Customer Review: Warning!: does not fit TomTom One v2 (new version)
This has a round connector on the end (actually made for PSP it seems) NOT a mini USB connector - therefore cannot be used with the v2. Seems like good value but I couldn’t actually try it out.
TOMTOM Go 920 T GPS Europe 4.3″ screen Tactile, Info Traffic TMC Premium (lifetime subscription), Bluetooth Customer Review: tomtom go 920 T
Thanks Rod Peel for your very useful and informative review. It helped us decide in purchasing TOMTOM 920T model, in Feb 08.
We had many problems with loading the “home” software and using it via vista, had to install a few updates before it eventually worked. Mostly found my 920 locking and wouldn’t turn on, the “reset” button sorted this out each time though.
I Strongly recommend you first make backup of your Tomtom before carying out any updates/upgrades via pc/internet, there’s a high chance you just may have to reload your backup!
I too found the volume a bit erratic, particularly in our MPV with kids/radio noise. Mine tends to be set towards the right (maxium), especially on motorway driving. Some instructions have “hic-ups” when announcing the location and road names together and come out fairly low, while others are very loud, even though volume settings hadn’t been changed. I will take Rod Peel’s advise and try linking it to the radio and see what effect that has to the volume level.
Anyone know if the way road names are announced, eg A1054, currently spoken as A-one-thousand, and fifty-four, can be changed to A-1-0-5-4, inastead?
In general, it’s the family’s first satnav and we’re fairly happy with it, would have given a 5 star rating were it not for the small problems we’d had. We look forward to using it in the US on our next fly/drive holiday. In the meantime, back to more manual reading.
Customer Review: The ultimate motoring gadget
The TomTom 920T was available on 7th December (2007) and I had mine delivered that evening. I had previously used TomTom on a PDA (HPx4700) so I was accustomed to all of TomTom’s quirks (yes there are some!) and also a large screen.
First use is intuitive and the software installed easily on my computer. Setup of basic functions (Home address, password, preferences such as voice) was a doddle and I was interested to try out the computer voice which reads road signs and road names to you. Also the ‘operate my TomTom from the computer’ was easy to use and soon had my first ‘Favorites’ set. A brief trawl of the FAQ on the TomTom web site showed me how to transfer my favorite places, new Points of Interest and additional voices from my PDA. I linked my telephone to the unit with ease and in 5 minutes I had transferred my entire phone book. Dialling out and receiving calls is really easy.
I sat in my car for about 15 minutes setting up some of the other functions such as the Traffic RDS system and the FM transmitter (so I can hear the voice through my radio). All worked first time and well. One small downside is that I find the volume control a little erratic and often the shutdown settings are not maintained on startup. However, using the small remote control was the easiest way to put this right.
TomTom’s route planning often leaves something to be desired and, as with my PDA TomTom satnav, it is always a good idea to preview your route on a map before journeying so you have no surprises en-route. The GPS Fix function that is downloaded via the cradle and TomTom Home software means that GPS startup takes a very short time (less than 30 seconds). However you do need to update this every couple of days to ensure freshness.
I haven’t tried out the USA maps yet but I have set up routes in Zurich just as easily as I set up routes in the UK. To say that the maps supplied are the latest means that TomTom take more than a year to record road changes. A particular village bypass and a new roundabout that I use are well past their first birtdays and have yet to appear on the map. TomTom gets confused by this and keeps trying to direct you back to the road in its memory. A free map update is granted but for only 90 days after purchase which seems a little mean to me.
The Mapshare feature was one of the persuaders for my purchase. This seems to be the best thing since sliced bread (what was the best thing before sliced bread?) but I still have not discovered how long it will take TomTom to update their maps and if this will be free to motorists who upload corrections.
Other features such as MP3 playing and photo slide shows await review. It appears that both MP3 files and Picture files must be in a specific directory in internal memory - it’s a pity that they cannot be stored on an external (and swappable) SD card (which can carry extra maps). I would have thought that a change to the software would fix this (TomTom please note!). Also a battery charge level indicator in % or time left would be a bonus.
All in all an excellent device - clear screen, clear voice and (reasonably) accurate performance. All the gadget that you could ever want.
