Most complete set of maps
The new TomTom GO 920 range offers the most-up-to-date maps of the United States and Canada and a seamless map of 41 countries in both Western and Central Europe preinstalled on the 4 GB internal memory of the device. This makes the
TomTom GO 920 the personal navigation device with the most complete set of preinstalled maps available in TomTom’s entire portfolio.
Traffic
The TomTom GO 920 range allows users to receive up-to-date traffic information via the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver or through TomTom’s own subscription-based traffic
service. The RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver and a one year subscription is included in the box in the GO 920T model. The traffic receiver is sold as a separate accessory for the
GO 920 model.
Voice Prompted Address Entry
Voice prompted address entry gives users the option to speak the address to which they want to drive. Users can simply speak the city, street name and address number they would like to travel to, and the device will automatically calculate the route.
Best navigation with TomTom Map Share™ and Enhanced Positioning
Technology
The TomTom GO 920 range comes with the latest version of TomTom’s awardwinning software, and includes TomTom Map Share™ technology. TomTom Map Share™ enables users to make easy changes to the map and to share map corrections with other TomTom customers so that users always have the most up-todate maps available.
TomTom’s new Enhanced Positioning Technology uses movement and gravity sensors to calculate drivers’ positions when GPS signals are unavailable. TomTom GO 920 range users will have a much more continuous navigation experience as the
Enhanced Positioning Technology ensures the device continues to navigate to its destination, even in circumstances where there may not be a direct line-of-sight
connection to a satellite (for example, when driving in a city with tall buildings, underpasses or bridges).
Remote control
The TomTom GO 920 range comes with an improved Bluetooth™ remote control. The remote control enables drivers to operate the device safely from anywhere in the car
without having to reach over to the device.
