Next of the apes things is a navigation system. I have it now for about half a year and there were already quite some sutiations wouldn’t want to miss it. The TomTom GO 910 is equiped with a hard disk, so you don’t need to change memory cards if you have far journeys. There is also the possibility to use it as a MP3-player and as hands-free-set for mobile phones. I don’t use both of these features, since if it is not wired with the car audio system, the sound quality is way to bad.

Which brings me to the disadvantages: Big disadvantage number one: cable salat. There is a cable for power supply (without it you can use TomTom for about 2 or 3 hours). If you want to use the bonus features there is another cable for the microphone (hands free set), a cable for the antenna (if you want traffic alerts affect the route). Well I wouldn’t know another solution, but it is definitely a disadvantage to built-in systems.

Big disadvantage number two, and this sucks: The windscreen dock isn’t able to hold the weight of the system. I can’t understand why they put in a dock that doesn’t work properly with the product itself. So you have to put it right above the dashboard, so this one can hold the weight. The dock is just for fixing the position of the thing …

Anyway. Big advantages: it is very easy to use. It brings you doorstep to doorstep. There are just a few flaws in the routing, but they can be ignored. And you can take it out of one car and put it in the next one (yeah, of course, that’s what portable navigation systems are supposed to do, but it is an advantage and I want to mention it here). Another big advantage is the built-in point of interest database - a very good feature if the fuel is about to be empty and you are in the middle of nowhere without a clue where the next gas station is.

The TomTom Go 910 is only a littlebit more expensive than the 710 version and if you want the full comfort of not switching cards, take the bigger version. It is worth it!
