I love, love, love my TomTom 930T. My husband and I bought the 920 in May ‘08 and later exchanged it for the upgraded 930 for the extra features! We’ve used our TomTom all over the country and there is no question we would be lost without it.
I’ve only noticed I had a problem seeing the screen when I had polarized sunglasses on. When I take those off for a sec, I can see the screen perfectly, even when it’s sunny! By the way, the screen is huge.

The tomtom GO 930 was purchased because it has both USA and European maps. I looked at the Garmin equivalent at a Garmin Store the Nuvi 770 and when typing in addresses found the keys were off. I have no idea if this is common but figured if they were that way in their store perhaps there would be a problem. The 930 finds its GPS signal extremely quickly, and gives a number of options such as fastest route, quickest route, bicycle and walk. The preference screen allows an almost unlimited way of customizing. I have only used it around the Chicago area and have found the maps to be accurate. I have found one quirk: in the Western Suburbs street numbers sometimes have a letter in them such as 1 N 123. I have not found a way to enter this and calls to TomTom’s help desk take almost an hour to be answered. Neither of these is appreciated. A work around the street address is to find the cross street which can be looked up on Google Maps and navigate to that intersection. I have not used it in Europe nor areas beyond the Chicago region. If I were to purchase a GPS now, I would still purchase this unit.
