The TomTom Go 920 is a GPS device that your car can use to keep track of your speed, distance, fuel consumption, and find the nearest gas station. This device comes with software to allow drivers to download maps for offline use. One of the features included in the software is routing using Waze. The TomTom GPS devices are compatible with many navigation devices including Microsoft's Bing Maps or Nokia's Ovi Maps. TomTom also has a website with an extensive road network for downloading maps. The unit's display is factory-installed, and it has a resolution of 128 x 128 pixels. It can be easily removed from the dashboard with a small cable release connector concealed in the unit's bezel. The device uses a non-standard USB Mini Serial Cable to link into the vehicles computer, and an IR receiver to receive remote control commands. The device works in two modes: PC mode and car mode. In both modes, it reads the vehicle's CAN Bus for various vehicle information. In car mode, it uses HMI (Human Machine Interface) software from TomTom to work with MapSource GPS software from Navigon Ltd. to convert the GPS data into various files for display in various computer formats. The information retrieved in PC mode is used for routing, while the information retrieved in car mode is used for navigating. The device supports multiple languages including English, German, French, Italian and Spanish. TomTom software downloads through TomTom Go 730 or 910 can be quite misleading in terms of accuracy depending on user location and congestion on the road network, especially if you are trying to get to a specific destination. For many years TomTom has stated that 1/4 to 1/2 mile can be added to distance readings when traveling over congested roads which is not accurate at all. The TomTom website and the highway code state that it is acceptable to add 2-3 percent on average. This is not accurate either and does not take into account the fact that they frequently don't convey this information in their map updates. The main problem seems to be that the software uses a fixed antenna in relation to your location, which means that when there is congestion, or when you are crossing narrow bridges, this antenna moves and consequently the accuracy of the readings goes down. The result is what they call "precision", which in actuality is an invalid reading. As far as mapping goes, the software often contains errors and/or outdated versions that do not match the real world. TomTom was hit with a class action lawsuit in 2014 which stated that "Due to a variety of problems, including invalid data and outdated maps, the plaintiffs have been unable to get accurate routing information from their GPS devices." In one example from 2015, a driver from Honolulu was seeking an alternate route around Waikiki. The free maps downloaded from Google Maps showed many alternative routes that took longer than four hours to get to or through Waikiki. Using navigation mode on a TomTom Go 820, the user tried a looping route around Waikiki which ended up being less than two hours long. cfa1e77820
