This review is from: TomTom GO 930 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS NavigatorI've owned Garmin's for more than 5 years and I currently own a NUVI 760. I've heard the great news about the TOMTOM 930 with IQROUTES, lane guidance, and the HOME feature so I decided to buy the 930 so I can give it a spin and compare it to the NUVI 760 with MSN DIRECT.TOMTOM Pluses:Arrival time - The arrival time with IQROUTES are MORE accurate than Garmin's. The NUVI keeps updating the arrival time during the trip. I compared the arrival time from the start and the TOMTOM was more accurate. TOMTOM is constantly collecting the travel times and updating their database. When you sign in to the HOME program the IQroutes from your trips are uploaded to the TOMTOM server.Routes:If anyone writes a review about a GPS and states that routes are 100% accurate then they are lieing, I have not found the perfect GPS with perfect routes. The routes on both the 930 and the NUVI 760 have been identical. With the 930 I see minutes left on the trip, time left, and arrival time. I can even tell the 930 what time I would like to arrive at my destination.I can AVOID any of the roads on my trip. You CANNOT avoid roads on the NUVI 760.TRAFFIC:I'm using traffic on the 930 through my ATT Tilt phone and it seems to work and it is accurate. It uses my Tilt to access the traffic on the TOMTOM server through the Internet. If you have cell coverage you should have traffic data.MSN Traffic on the 760 is not accurate and the avoidance feature does not work that well. The bad thing about the MSN Direct feature is that it does not have good range. I live in Chicago and the service does not work in many of the outlying suburbs.PLUSES:Iqroutes are more accurate than the NUVI.Lane guidance works in my area.Avoiding roads on your trip.Being able to correct street names, closed streets, one ways, and many other errors is a big plus.Traffic works well.The GPS chip has not lost reception. I've lost the signal numerous times on the NUVI.More information on the 930 screen than on the 760.TOMTOM minuses:The screen is hard to see in sunlight. The maps are not bad since I loaded the Garmin map look on the 930. I even have the magenta route line on my 930.The battery does not last more than 1 hour.The Text to speech does not work all the time. The street names are not pronounced as good as the NUVI.You don't get the constant reminders that the NUVI 760 provides. Sometimes I don't think that I drive the 930 with my eyes close. With the 760 you can close your eyes and not miss a turn.I cannot locate an address by ANY city like the NUVI. Sometimes the 930 cannot locate an address if it thinks it's in a different city. You have to input the surrounding city names to get the correct address and route....
This review is from: TomTom GO 930 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS NavigatorHello,I have recently moved in USA and it is a big challenge to drive in USA w/out efficient and reliable GPS. As soon as I landed, I bought Tomtom 930 because Tomtom is very famous in Europe. Just recently, I have bought Garmin 680 for my wife and I have been using for for 3 days and can make proper evaluation despite time is short to make an accurate evaluation:PROS and CONS of Tomtom 930 & Garmin 6801. Tomtom is a lot more user friendly with remote control.2. You can find the locations with Zip Codes (I have not seen such spec in Garmin yet at least)3. Tomtom's guidance is a lot better in complex areas (And with Lane help, it is even better).4. Tomtom's map is not as good as Garmin's at least for USA. Garmin can find more destinations and more side streets. Tomtom is great only if you don't need every single street in each and every city.5. Garmin has a lot better view on the screen when compared to Tomtom. It is more clearer and tells you on the screen the next street you must take and the distance left. I may feel it complicated on Tomtom's screen because I am color blind. So, suggest you do not rely on this evaluation too much.6. EPT is a great feature for Tomtom which guides you even there is no satellite reception. However, this feature sometimes crashes and turns the device off.7. Tomtom follows different ways for the same origin and destinations. It is so strange but I do not really know the reason.Last but not least, Tomtom is a great product with great features when compared to Garmin 680. However, if your occupation is sales like me, you need Garmin to find where you need to go in all details. But, Garmin's features are a lot less than Tomtom's. I wish there was a GPS which compiles all pros together in one device. Yo...
