Customer Review: Not as good as expected
I bought my Tom Tom 910 9 months ago with the RDS-TMS Traffic Receiver, as I travel around the UK and Europe on business and needed to improve my travel times by using the best route and missing the jams. It found some new routes to get to some customers, so was quite useful a couple of times, and the display of the ETA helps in planning journeys and letting people know when you are going to arrive. The spoken instructions are good, as you don’t have to look at the screen too often. The database of companies only seemed to include branches of Boots and Waitrose, so is not much good for searching for my customers, although post codes are generally accurate. The system falls down when the destination is on an industrial estate. Either the road names do not appear on the map, or the post code takes you to the nearest point on the main road (better than nothing I suppose). The traffic receiver is almost useless. Either it diverts you because of a traffic jam which doesn’t exist, or you end up at the back of a queue that you weren’t told about, or it loses the signal and takes a long time to retune! I cannot think of a single occasion where it was helpful. It has now stopped working so I don’t plug it in anymore. Bearing in mind that maps change all the time, I cannot believe that you cannot get sensible upgrades when things change. When downloading new software, or after a backup there is an annoying tendency for the 910 to lock up, so you have to push the ‘reset’ button. This is a tiny, almost invisible switch, so you need to have a pin or a staple handy. There are lots of places selling these so it pays to shop around. Searching on the internet can get you a decent price. Overall I am not as impressed as I expected to be.
Customer Review: Awful Support - Do Not Buy TomTom
I know this model has now been superseded but thought I’d share my experience. Have had mine for 16 months. When working does the basics well. Major problems with reliability & technical support. Took eight weeks in 2006 to get the Traffic Service registered so that it worked - I had to write to the CEO to get the problem elevated to someone who knew what they were doing - then sorted out in a couple of days. The device has gone through a long period of intermittent operation - both the car & desk mount were replaced but didn’t resolve. Device then failed completely & has been out of action for over 2 months. The main board was replaced but on return the maps wouldn’t register which sent support into several weeks of radio silence. Elevated the complaint got new maps which appear to work but device now turns itself on & off every couple of minutes. This is the most unreliable & poorly supported product I have ever owned. I gauge it has only worked satisfactorily for 60% of the time I have owned it. If not sorted in the next couple of weeks I intend to cut my losses by returning it to the retailer (not Amazon) for as much compensation as I can get & buy a Garmin which is a company which is well established in GPS via the marine market. The traffic function is hopeless - fundamentally flawed as a concept so not a problem specific to this model. Get a good data feed via Bluetooth/ mobile but: hold-ups are not cleared from the database quickly - they have been known to sit on it for 24 hours on occasions. The fundamental problem is that there is no forecasting of how long delays will persist. Around the M25 for example usually they have dispersed by the time one arrives with effective alternative route often not available. I ignore the TomTom warnings. use the radio & have not been caught out yet. I would not subscribe to a traffic service again until the these issues are addressed.

Customer Review: Look around for better deals
I am thinking about this, looks great, but beware Amazon is over charging, even if you buy it direct from TomTom itself it is ?49.95 including postage and I am sure you can get it cheaper if you look around
Customer Review: Tomtom GO FM Transmitter Mount
I have finally taken delivery of my Tomtom Go FM Transmitter Mount …and I’m quite impressed! don’t be expecting a crystal clear sound however but if you tune into an unused FM signal (I used 87.9)then you can get a fairly clear transmission. Obviously once you’ve tuned your radio to the same frequency as your Tomtom just save it as a preset channel. Remember that you won’t be able to listen to normal radio stations and operate the FM function at the same time, it’s one or the other. I’ve yet to try the phone clarity but if the jukebox and navigation instructions are anything to go by then this looks to be a good purchase. After my last purchase from Tomtom (RDS-TMC Traffic receiver…absolutely CRAP!)I was doubting the quality of Tomtom add-ons, however my faith has been restored.
