TomTom introduces New High-End Model: TomTom GO 920
“The new flagship TomTom GO 920 T offers the best in satellite navigation,” says Harold Goddijn, chief executive officer at TomTom. “Pre-installed maps of multiple continents combined with innovative technologies such as the new Enhanced Positioning Technology, TomTom Map Share™ and plug & play traffic information offer outstanding quality and performance. The TomTom GO 920 T is the most advanced navigation solution on the market today.”
Most complete set of maps
The new TomTom GO 920 T offers a seamless map of 41 countries in
both Western and Central Europe and the most-up-to-date maps of USA
and Canada* preinstalled on the 4 GB internal memory of the device.
This makes the TomTom GO 920 T the personal navigation device with
the most complete set of pre-installed maps available in
TomTom’s entire navigation solution portfolio.
Best navigation with Enhanced Positioning
Technology
TomTom’s new Enhanced Positioning Technology uses movement
and gravity sensors to calculate drivers’ positions when GPS
signals are unavailable.
TomTom GO 920 T users will have a much more continuous navigation experience as the Enhanced Positioning Technology ensures the device continues to navigate to its destination, even in circumstances where there may not be a direct line-of-sight connection to a satellite. For example, when driving in a city with tall buildings, underpasses or bridges.
In addition, the TomTom GO 920 T comes with the latest version of TomTom’s award winning software and all the features of the current TomTom GO 720 and TomTom GO 520. This includes TomTom Map Share™ Technology to make easy changes to the map and to share map corrections with other TomTom customers so that users always have the most up-to-date maps available.
Traffic
An RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver to receive up-to-date traffic

Remote control
The TomTom GO 920 T comes with an improved Bluetooth™ remote
control that is the same colour as the device. This way drivers can
operate their device safely from anywhere in the car without having
to reach to touch the screen.
