Tom Tom GO 910
The 910 GO GPS system was released a couple of years ago and was a revolutionary breakthrough in personal navigation, being the first GPS with preloaded maps of the United States, Canada, Western Europe and Central Europe. Engineers redesigned the unit, creating the 4 wide inch wide screen and several software improvements from Tom Tom's initial offerings.
Features include a 400 MHz CPU and a 20 GB hard drive, which are perfect for saving maps for particular routes you might need to save. You also have the ability to connect and then integrate your iPod, a Bluetooth enabled remote for hands free operation and a 4" touchscreen with over 64,000 colors. The 910 is also one of the first GPS systems which has a Points of Interest (POI) database which makes special note any and all points of interest such as hotels, hospitals, stadiums, parks and the restaurants. With 36 different languages either preinstalled or easily downloaded, this GPS system can be used in most major Westernised countries with little difficulty. You can also program the Tom Tom 910 to call out directions in your language, no matter where you are.
One of the complaints about this GPS device is that the dash mount is a little flimsy and that the screen can be difficult to read in direct sunlight. Another small complaint is that changing menu functions does take quite a bit more tapping and scrolling than the newer systems. On the plus side the 910 can be bought for an excellent price, having many of the basic features that novice GPS users will love.
