Bottom Line
TomTom’s 910 is an excellent GPS unit that performs better than any of its current competitors. It’s all the more frustrating, therefore, that TomTom shoots itself in the foot with the details like inadequate support, poor mounting hardware, and buggy firmware releases.
These kinds of issues show TomTom as the new kid on the GPS block. They have a potentially superior product, but need to get a few kinks ironed out. Once these issues are worked out, there’s very little wrong with the 910.
Even with its current issues, we’re still giving the 910 the Editor’s Choice award. If you’re looking for an excellent, easy to use, GPS unit for your, you’d be hard pressed to do better than the TomTom GO 910.
