The TMC receiver is approximately £45.00 when purchased on its own. US customers can choose between the 920 and 920T models. 520 and 720 models can be purchased with TMC receiver as 520T and 720T or without as standard 520 and 720. Note: In Europe, the 920 is only available as the 920T with bundled TMC Traffic Receiver.

Please research the current deals before purchase though! The technology utilises a solid state accelerometer and gyroscope that can calculate acceleration/deceleration and lateral movements.Īll the x20 models have the latest Version 7 Navcore software installed which adds features such as MapShare (more on this later), HelpMe, FM Transmitter and Voice Address Input.Īlthough prices printed in reviews are quickly rendered meaningless in the world of satnav I have added them in the table below to give an indication of the comparative cost differences between each model. EPT enables position information to continue to be calculated and displayed in areas where satellite signal has been lost such as tunnels, urban canyons etc. It also comes with a Bluetooth remote control (extra cost option on other units) and Enhanced Position Technology (EPT). The 920T differs from its stable mates in having more internal memory (4GB), necessary to contain the full European Map (inc the Canaries Map), Guam and of course North America (United States and Canada). I will summarise the key differences in specification where they occur but so far as form factor is concerned, the units are identical (apart from a different colour front bezel and different shade of rubberised coating on the 920!). It had already broken cover a little earlier in the US where the requirement for a device capable of holding a single country contiguous US map was more pressing.Īlthough this will primarily be a review of the 920T model, because the vast majority of features are also available on the other x20 family units, the 520 and 720, much of what is written here applies to all. These proved very popular but strangely there was at the time no replacement announced for the 910, the flagship of the range.ĭespite fervent denials from TomTom when asked of its existence the 920 finally popped its head up above the parapet in time for the Christmas sales period in Europe. The GO x20 range was introduced with some fanfare in Cannes, France last summer and initially consisted of the 520 and 720 models only. Indeed it is now synonymous with satellite Navigation in the same way that Hoover is with Vacuum cleaners. The TomTom brand has had a meteoric rise to fame. TomTom's GO range of PND navigation devices needs little by way of introduction.
