TomTom Additional Mounting Kit For 300, 500, 700 Models
If you have more than one car then you’ll know how much of a pain it can be to transfer the whole system from one car to another.
Customer Review: Compatability
It is not made clear that this item is not compatible with the 500 series ie not the 510 only the 500 and presumably the same for the 710
Customer Review: Wrong item ordered
This description doesn't make it very clear that the unit is only suitable for the new TomTom Go models (300/500/700). It is not suitable for the original (Classic) version.

TomTom RDS/TMC Reciever for Go 510, 710 and 910 models RDS/TMC RECEIVER F/ TT 710/910 IN
Customer Review: Newly bought aerial picks up signal well.
This aerial is actually compatible with the Tom Tom Go (v3), the non-XL version. This is currently not mentioned anywhere on the TomTom website, although customer services say the website will be updated to reflect this.
I have the aerial mounted vertically and it quickly picks up signal at my home and work, both in London. I have yet to try it on a journey.
It quickly picks up around 40-100 different traffic issues, all in the South-East (presumably because I’m using it in London). Although I’ve yet to verify it, it seems to underestimate the delay due to each issue, e.g. it regularly says a traffic delay will take “1 minute” although e.g. AA roadwatch reports 20 minutes delay.
Unfortunately you don’t get much control over the routing algorithm - you can either avoid all traffic, however long that takes, or stick to the fastest route. You can’t tell it (for example) that you quite dislike traffic, but not to choose a different route if it adds more than 20 minutes to your total journey. Like most of the TomTom software, it seems to be optimized for easy use at the expense of detailed control.
One other general complaint about the TomTom algorithms is they don’t take time-of-day into account (this with software v7.1). They say south London to Banbury, through the centre of London, takes 1 minute 39, regardless of whether I ask at 1am or 7am. At 7am, it would be much higher. The algorithm should really consider time of day and realise that urban roads are slower at these times.

DON’T BOTHER!!!!!!
This is the most useless thing I have ever used. I can only say thank god i did’nt pay good money for it as it came with my Go510.
I drive 30000 miles a year and have had it for nearly a year and its only ever tuned in twice and thats to Classic FM! Not exactly the first choice for traffic info!
I’ve spent more time in traffic holdups than ever and now rely on radio reports which use RDS to interupt what i’m listening to, to give me traffic info from local radio stations. Far more helpful.

First look: TomTom Go 920 GPS
Silicon Valley - I want to love the TomTom Go 920. I really do. It’s one of those be-all GPS gizmos that could quench my 10-year-old tech-whiz son’s thirst for maps and my wife’s dependence on turn-by-turn navigation. Its iPod-like size makes it tiny enough to tote
You can get there from here
Boston Globe - The TomTom GO 920 T also can follow voice commands entering an address, but drivers still have to use their hands to choose that mode. And the device does not always understand the words, even when the car is quiet. Meanwhile, the three priciest
Apple’s iPod is the coolest gadget ever
