TomTom GO730 & TomTom GO930?

**Aboulaly** · 05-02-09, 12:28 AM

I am shopping around for a GPS and I have an interest in one of these two units, but one is dearer than the other by a fair bit($200-$250) but I can seem to see the great difference between the two, so is there anyone here that can tell me the difference and which unit serves me better, I would really appreciate it, Thanks guys.

The GO930 has world-wide maps.

The GO730 has provision for one map.

eg:If you are in Australia and don't intend using the tomtom to cross Europe, go for the 730 with Australia map.

I have a GO730.

Got it for $498.00 on special from the Good Guys over Christmas.

I was looking at the GO930 but could not justify the extra expense. One of the major differences is the GO930 has an FM radio feed or it did. I was amazed to read and update to the unit disables that feature.

Something to do with it not fitting into the class of radio licensing they thought it did and was thus illegal so they disabled the radio feature via an update. Knowing that I would expect it to cost the same as a G0730 or it should.

There is some talk about some other brands still having this feature.

Re the GO730 I have not real complains other than its speed camera database could be better and thank you to Sanity for pointing out a site to download voices for free.
