TomTom 930
TomTom 930

The TomTom 930 devices are high-end GPS navigators and have an impressive feature set to show for it. One particularly useful feature, called TomTom IQ Routes, calculates the fastest route to a destination using historical traffic data so that it can make the best possible guess about how long a given route will take you to drive. Advanced Lane Guidance carefully maps out lane changes on the screen so that you’ll know what lane you should be in for upcoming turns. Instructions are both spoken and displayed on the screen. You can use the method that works best for you.

TomTom MapShare lets users modify the street names, points of interest and instructions stored on the 930, then transmit those modifications so that other TomTom GO 930 users can benefit from them. The HelpMe! emergency menu displays local emergency services such as police and hospitals and lets you access information about them by touching the screen. Of course, the 930 also has all the features you’d expect, like Bluetooth integration, an MP3 player and an FM transmitter that will send audio from the device to your car’s radio. The MSRP is a fairly steep $531.99, but you may determine that the TomTom GO 930’s feature set is worth it.

Pros
Design, user interface, maps, all-round package, Bluetooth, FM transmitter

Cons
No AC charger, iPod cable and TMC receiver cost extra

Bottom Line
If you currently own a GO 720, then there is no real reason to upgrade, as most of the improvements are software upgrades. If you are looking for a high-end GPS with all of the latest features though, the GO 930 is excellent, if a little overpriced.
