TomTom Go 930 Traffic GPS receiver

By (pocket-lint.com)

Do you need the Rolls-Royce of satnav?

All in all, this is TomTom doing what it does best. As a navigation solution, we think this is the best around, but this could be said of the offerings much further down the range, with a great range of options to ensure your journey goes as smoothly...

All in all, this is TomTom doing what it does best. As a navigation solution, we think this is the best around, but this could be said of the offerings much further down the range, with a great range of options to ensure your journey goes as smoothly...

But do all the extra features make it a worthwhile purchase and justify that premium price?

TomTom Go 930 T

By (techradar.com)

TomTom's 930T is a brilliant device

Large widescreen display ; 4GB of onboard memory ; improved user interface ; IQ Routes works well ; Advance Lane Guidance too

Day / night sensor doesn't work ; ambiguous voice commands ; speaker quality could be better

However these are minor niggles. The GO 930 T is easily one of the most accomplished satnavs TomTom has made and with genuinely useful features like IQ Routes, it's proved it can still innovate and stay ahead of the pack.

Review: Tomtom Go 930 Traffic satellite navigation

By Anthony Dhanendran (computeractive.co.uk)

Top-of-the-range navigation

TomTom Go 930 Traffic Sat-Nav

By Jonathan Bray (trustedreviews.com)

Award: Recommended!

TomTom has dominated the in-car sat-nav sector for some time and it's hoping to maintain that position with its latest Go 930 Traffic.

So are the additions worth the extra cash? For now, I'd have to say - surprisingly - no. The new x30 range undoubtedly maintains the 720's position as king of in-car sat-navs, with its improved route-finding abilities and lane assistance. But the...

TomTom Go 930

By stuffmagazine (stuff.tv)

The latest incarnation of TomTom Go has a new look and advanced features, but is it worth upgrading to?

Easy to use. Lane guidance. Stylish

Not a massive leap forward. Unapparent IQ Routes benefits

TomTom 930 T personal satnav device review

By Rosemary Haworth (pcadvisor.co.uk)

The TomTom 930 T, is slimmer than the round-backed devices of yesteryear, solid and well built. As portable satnav units go, the TomTom looks positively super.

For all these niggles - and the odd glaring error - the TomTom 930 T is a quality piece of kit and one we would happily use again. It successfully got us to our destination despite some very obscure locations being entered and it's generally a classy...

In some residential areas there's a low-level 3D representation of the Victorian terraces and higgledy-piggledy streets you're passing and we also found the go, go green arrows delineating the lane to be at every point a helpful aid.

TomTom GO 930 Traffic

By Brett James (cnet.co.uk)

The TomTom GO 930 Traffic sat-nav is a speedy update to January's 920T. While the two are cosmetically nearly identical, the 930 Traffic has beefed up with some new features, including the much-hyped IQ Routes technology and advanced lane guidance to...

Voice recognition ; text-to-speech ; IQ Routes ; advanced lane guidance ; EPT ; Map Share

Pricey ; FM/RDS-TMC receiver ; car cradle ; map detail

With the wrapping still clinging to the underside of the GO 920T, some may feel slightly peeved by the 930 Traffic's arrival. But with the sat-nav world changing rapidly each day, the features are a more natural progression, rather than a stab in the...

Nothing should get in the way of what is an excellent product

TomTom GO 930 Traffic

By paul_smart (gadgetspeak.com)

On the face of it this is just another of the huge range of devices to tell your where you are and how to get to where you are not. However after a few days of use I soon realised it did lots of things that other such devices do not.

The TomTom GO930-T is 11.5x8.5x2cm and has a landscape screen 10.7x5.8cm. While most will of course use it in a car I suggest unless you are a passenger then you first try it on a bus or a train where or course you are a passenger as there is so much...
