TomTom GO 920 on the way?

Whenever a manufacturer is rumored to be upgrading its top-of-the-line device, we wanna know about it, so GPS Review certainly had us intrigued with word of a successor to TomTom's popular, hard drive-equipped (and once-infected) GO 910 in-car navigation system. While perusing the manual on the recently-released GO 720 CD, one of the editors stumbled upon a set of files named go520.link, go720.link, and go920.link -- which besides the unit in question, most likely refer to a European-only product as well as what we now suspect to be an upcoming flagship model called the GO 920. Obviously no specs or details of any kind are available beyond this tantalizing clue, but now that we have an idea of what to look for, we're gonna be breathing down your neck for more info, TomTom.

Just add the new 720 to the existing 910. There's your feature-set.

I am wondering if the tomtom go 720 has the same problem with the mount as the go 920 and does the 720 have maps of EUROPE and usa?

evan, you should have added a picture of the 720 blown up, and a little tiny man pointing at the massive screen in the corner!

TomTom, what are the features of your GO 920 Device?

HELP.....I was literally JUST heading out to pick up a new 720 at a local store when I saw this news of a "potentially soon to be released" 920 unit. What do I do? If the essential difference would be more and better traffic resources I don't think that matters much to me here in Madison, WI - we don't get any of those services to begin with to my knowledge.

Any thoughts....hold tight? Buy the 720?

If the 920 has both NA and EU maps out of the box, then I'd wait for the 920.

I think that the best thing would be for them to start building GPS right into current models of cars. I don't want to have to go out and try to figure out how to install one of these into my car because I definitely don't know how to do it. Also, since my car wasn't designed to accommodate something like this that makes it even harder.

If you can't install one of these then you are reading the wrong site.
