TomTom GO 930T Review

The TomTom 930T brings all of TomTom's early technological advancements together culminating in a sleek device that is extremely user friendly. The 'T' in the 930T model number means that it is Traffic-Ready with included RDS-TMC traffic receiver and a 1-year free subscription to RDS-TMC traffic service.

Something new for this new range of TomTom's is the "Enhanced Positioning Technology". The 930T contains some onboard accelerometers and gravity sensors that help it figure out where it's going even if you lose satellite signal for a few minutes, which can be incredibly useful in cities with a lot of tunnels or tall buildings.This and a host of other interesting features are highlighted below.

Travel

Travel is made exceptionally easy, as you will have access to up to the minute information. Since TomTom users get to contribute to the data you can rest assured that your traveling will be super easy. If you or else find that real life isn't in tune with what the GPS finds it's easily fixed and then everyone gets to benefit.

You can also get to where you need to go faster. That's another benefit of everyone uploading their data through TomTom. The IQ Routes technology keeps track of historical information to help you get to your destination faster based on real life events. It also takes into account the time of day and the day of the week.

It's also helpful that you will learn short cuts that locals use. Since there are so many TomTom users the chances are good that there are some great shortcuts you can take that have already been uploaded. Other travelers won't have this benefit, and it really can save you a lot of time.

Updated Maps

One thing that some people worry about when they purchase a new GPS device is that it won't have the latest maps.
