TomTom GO 910 4-Inch Portable GPS Navigator Immediately

Prior to owning this unit I had a Magellan Maestro 4000. So I will compare these two GPS Units but focus mainly on the TomTom GPS. Let me discuss the Cons first.

Cons: 1. The unit is kind of heavy and I've experienced some issues with the docking on the windsheild where the weight of the gps and the force of gravity pulls the unit down into a position that does not allow you to see the screen. There is a small allen-screw I guess at some point I have to find a screwdriver to do this job. 2. Oh boy this is a big one! The Glare! During daylight hours depending on the suns position and how the sun enters the vehicle there were times I could NOT see the map on the unit at all! All I could see was blank sun-glared screen and this could be dangerous insofar as it could take your concentration away/off the road. I realized this and I just stopped looking at the gps screen. If there is a sun-glare product for this unit I recommend everyone buy it to avoid that glare issue. 3. There are a bunch of 'voices' to choose from ie., male, female, Brittish & Aussie accents to name a few... This can be overwhelming because you're always thinking if you should change the voice to something else.. the other thing is that some voices are 'human recordings' and will effect audio-warnings from being heard.. if you choose a human voice recording you won't hear warnings in audio.. 4. The distance markers are announced in "Yards" and/or "Meters" sometimes.. I think but am not certain that the distance markers might vary by voice ie., UK voice uses 'meters' so the voice announces distances in meters even though your map is of the USA? I could not determine distances by 'yards' I thought maybe it would also start using "inches" (jus kidding).

Pros: 1. The bluetooth/phone feature is amazing.. say goodbye to driving while using the phone tickets.. the gps searches out your phone and connects to it automatically.. (with some device configuring which is not that difficult). My phone automatically connects and I use the remote control to dial numbers and I'm on the phone.. it's such an awesome feature. 2. The device holds music and you can play podcasts or mp3 files, ebooks, it's awesome and the 20gig internal harddrive is much bigger than one would imagine..

hope this helps. 3/5 StarsGet more detail about TomTom GO 910 4-Inch Portable GPS Navigator.
