"Absolutely Worthless"
Pros: Nice Screen
Cons: Outdated Maps and Traffice feature doesn't work
Summary: Over a period of five days I tired to use my new TomTom for all of my trips. I live and do most of my driving in Atlanta, GA. The first time I used the device, it directed me to turn the wrong way on a one way street. It also directed me to a point 2 blocks from my intended destination. I tried using the device to find a restaurant in Birmingham, AL and it took me to a point in the middle of a dense housing neighborhood some 10 miles from the restaurant's actual address. I tried using the device a third time to find a specific address only to find out that the devices maps didnt't have street numbers from 1000 to 4000 for a major street in Atlanta. The traffic feature never worked. It always indicted clear roads even though I could be sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on I-85 running through the middle of Atlanta. The device is completely worthless unless you like looking at the pretty screen.

I know what you are talking about happened to me all you got to do is call tom tom they will help you configure the device after that it good to go
I am very happy with it. -
TomTom's are pretty good units- what you're describing doesn't sound like a poorly designed product or outdated maps (the 920 comes loaded with the newest TeleAtlas), it sounds like a defective unit... the results it's given you sound just too far off the mark.
This happens occasionally during the first run of a new electronics product- all companies, all types- from gps units to ipods to XBox 360's...
I'd suggest returning it and trying another one before giving up on TomTom- they make a pretty good product, and they are a LOT cheaper than the (debatably) marginally better Garmins...
