This is a powerful little device which has all of the necessary tools a GPS should have. I bought this device as I was traveling to Europe and didn't want to spend money on just a European GPS. This device comes with both North America and European maps. I have now used it for almost 4 months and I couldn't have been happier. I used the GPS extensively in Europe and it was spot on with it's directions and route calculations. Even in North America it was helpful and got me where I needed to go. Some of the Pro's and Con's for the device
Pros:
Has both NA and EU maps.
Nice sleek design with a wide screen
FM connectivity is awesome. I was able to put a 2GB SD card with my own music and played it through the Car speakers. It is nice option to have rather than carrying your MP3 player. Bluetooth Remote is a plus
Nice User interface which is very easy to use
Advanced Lane Guidance is very helpful when it is available, on very few exits. But the Regular Lane Guidance on the bottom left of home screen helps a lot when driving on unfamiliar roads
Cons:
Even though i bought the device in Sep 2009 it came with Maps from Jun 2008. It was a disappointment to have such outdated maps. But one can update them for another $100 dollars. I chose to stick to the old maps and it worked out well
The device takes longer than normal to reboot. I had to do a hard reset a few times
Overall, the device for $$ value is worth it. If you keep in mind that you are getting almost $250 off a new unit. The very few cons more than make up for it. I was a little skeptical about buying a refurb product but after using it I am glad I bought it.Get more detail about TomTom GO 930 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator (Factory Refurbished).
