TomTom GO 940 Satellite Navigation System – LIVE Worldwide
Great device – if a little geeky
As a 25,000 miles a year driver, sat nav is essential. Previously had a built in sat nav in the car, but my new car didnt have the option so I had to buy a stand alone unit. Went for this model as I also drive in the US (switching between US and Europe maps is really easy and you also specify a ‘Home’ for the US map separately).
No doubt there may be problems with defective units, but I feel that a lot of the negative comments relate to the complicated nature of the device. There are a lot of features and I feel that you do have to be very comfortable with using such devices if you are going to get the most benefit from the unit.
For me the live updates are invaluable and have used the cheapest fuel feature to save money, and google to add favourites that were not easy to find the adddress of. Also the IQ predictor of arrival times is uncanny … recently predicting a hour journey almost to the minute.
I have also had no problems with connecting my phone and using the FM transmitter.
In summary very happy with this device.
great unit but ?
I have eagerly awaited the chance to upgrade to the 940live.
I now have one ,i am a bit disappointed with the live services.I did not realise that the google /petrol prices/traffic/speed cameras are only free for three months .Speed cameras and the petrol I was thinking were for a year ,google was always going to be free .As I have paid over £400 i am a bit let down ,This is the third tom tom unit i have owned (a One/A 720 and now a 940 ) i feel very let down ,I did know about the monthly charge but i did not think it was for so many of the items on the box ,and also no remote i was sure i did see a remote as in the box early on in the run up to its release
Don’t buy one yet
Bought the 940 two weeks ago and it has been nothing but trouble. Speed camera alerts are not working properly and Traffic does not work at all. TomTom support answer is that no fix available yet and they will let me know if one is available … but not when! They should fix bugs first then sell the units not the other way around. Mine is going back for a refund and I shall revert to using my 910……Low Prices TomTom GO 940 Satellite Navigation System
