Strengths: New high-end features like Active Lane Guidance, IQ routes and voice address input.

Weaknesses: Unreliable advanced features

The TomTom GO 930 GPS serves as an ideal travel companion, whether you are on an adventure trip or really want to locate your destination. Its Active Lane Guidance is far more advanced and advantageous when compared to the earlier versions. This is mainly because it helps you to get ready for complex exits as well as intersections. Since the previous versions made it complex and in fact did not convey a simple user friendly path to get to the right lane or destination, the TomTom GO 930 GPS has made a complete makeover. Adding to its commendable performance is its voice address input. It saves the trouble of having to use the touch screen keyboard. Now you can hear the destination address right out of the GPS device.

The TomTom GO 930 GPS’ IQ routes calculate routes in a more realistic way, instead of taking into consideration the posted speed limits, IQ routes help compute routes on the basis of real average speeds. This will tell you in how much time you will reach your destination. Although these high-end features are a great, there are instances where they are not much reliable. A few local small roads which have been there since many years are not found on the map. At times the direct sunlight is likely to affect the readability of the GPS screen. Overall, if you can press down on these issues, you can go for the TomTom GO 930 GPS.
