Extremely Unreliable Maps & Poor Support Services
I have used GO920T since 6 month ago and also compared it to Garmin Nuvi680 side-to-side. Tomtom Go920T's maps are extremely not reliable and caused a lot of trouble on me. Tomtom Go920 is not as good as Garmin Nuvi 680 which is at least one generation older. Their support service is not friendly and not reliable as their maps. Avoid Tomtom.

Great in North America and Europe
I purchased this unit for general use in the USA and for a four-day driving trip through Austria. It has worked out great on all fronts. The unit is intuitive to use, and it gives fast and accurate directions. I have played around with all of the extra features, and they also work well to very-well.

In Vienna, I set the unit to pedestrian-mode to find the rental car agency, and it worked like a charm. Once in the car, it got me to the hotel without a hitch. Before leaving for Europe, I set my hotels and destinations as "favorites" - all in all driving was stress-free and not difficult. Otherwise I think driving in Austria would not have made for an easy-going trip.

The bluetooth phone connection is good. I like how the unit will read text messages as they arrive. The address-book function, however, could use some tweaking. I wish you could add and modify phone numbers directly on the unit.

Voice recognition works well for entering city and street information. It makes entering your destination address that much faster. This function only seems to work for the U.S. map section. When I was in Austria, voice recognition was not active. It would also be nice if voice recognition extended to the phone functions.

The MP3 player is passable. You cannot create playlists on the unit, nor with the PC software. Also, when I dragged and copied my Itunes music folder to my TomTom SD card, some songs refused to show up in the menu. These were from artists in the Itunes "compilations" folder. I spent about an hour trying to remedy this to no avail. Needless to say, I was annoyed.

The included bluetooth remote control is useful. It would be better if it came with a steering wheel attachment.

All in all the pros of this unit greatly outweigh any cons. With the European maps, this is a great value at Amazon's July 2008 price. After a month's of use in both the U.S. and Europe, I highly recommend the unit and give it five stars.

Tom Tom Go 920 Great GPS
This unit is very accurate and relatively easy to use. I like the online updating and ability to program a trip with the computer. I so far have found its ability to use mp3 files and picturees somewhat confusing. The main reason for this purchase (Quite abit of overkill. I don't expect to need the European maps) was the ability to verbaly tell it where you want to go I have found this somewhat limiing as you still need access to the unit or remote. I haven't used the remote or bluetooth Telephone operation myself, but my sister has and is quite empressed with this.TomTom GO 920 Portable GPS Vehicle Navigator

Tom Tom Is Wonderful
I purchased this product a month ago and am extremely happy with it. I have found new routes to work and some new locations around work and home. The community share feature is nice and the additional voices available make it more fun to play with. The remote control option is a nice plus. There are a couple of downsides but they are minor. The points of interest for restaraunts are not sorted by category (very minor), but you can create your own categories and sort them yourself. The second is that very few phones from sprint are compatible with the plus services. There are ways to make them work, but it is a little more difficult.

Set-up was much harder than I expected otherwise it seems great
I have a Mac and figuring out the initial set-up was much more difficult than I expected. Now that everything is set-up I am fine. I am taking it to Europe next week so I will give it a good workout up in the Alps.
