TomTom announces premium satnav - GO 920T does it all, apparently

[HEXUS]

The king of satnavs - that's how TomTom is positioning the GO 920T. It'll even keep going without a GPS signal.

I have the GO 910 and it has more memory than the new model :S... I can't store all my music on 4GB........ although traffic receiver and fm transmitter as standard would be nice!

This looks pretty nice - I agree that the storage reduction over the 910 is a bit crap, but then I'd always rather have a flash-based device than a HD-based one, for anything portable.

The integrated RDS-TMC receiver is pretty handy, as the iPod connectivity addon precluded using this on the earlier models.

All that said, I simply won't buy another portable GPS unit after getting mine nicked once, and having someone break into my car even though it wasn't in there (having been nicked), because the little ring where the dock attached to the windscreen was slightly visible. From now on, it's maps or built-in satnav for me.

I'm all for a flash based device having had to RMA my 910 twice in the last 6 weeks for a dead hard drive.

Hopefully the traffic receiver is better than the piece of rubbish TMC receiver they currently sell. I bought one and it's completely useless.

my hdd on my tomtom has gone bad a few times but everytime i just plug it in and windows check disks it and its fine for another few months or so... so far its been a very good companion for me. Keeps all my music on, only thing I can fault is the weak FM transmitter dock... I really need a car with mic input...

And yet again the HD on my 910 has died. When the disc died the second time I was sent a whole new unit, looks like I'll be RMA'ing this one too.

The real pain is that I'm working in Holland this week, Madrid next week and Munich the week after. I don't need sat nav until I go to Munich so I should be able to get it sorted by then.
