I bought a TomTom Go 910 on Friday, and thought I'd quickly throw something up here.

Initial impressions:

1. It started up in Dutch, rather than with any kind of setup wizard. Not ideal. Since I bought it from Dixons (sorry, Currys.digital), I don't expect them to have sourced it from Holland, so I'm puzzled by this.

2. Lots of alternate voices. None of them sexy enough. You can download John Cleese for a reasonable price, though.

3. It takes an age to sort out where it is the first time. To be honest, I don't know how long it took. It didn't work propped up on the windowsill at work; when I left it on the sill at home, it had sorted itself out by Saturday morning.

4. The screen's really nice. Wide screen, touch-screen, and visible in reasonably bright sunshine.

Other impressions:

1. It works absolutely fine in my Focus, which has a heated front screen. This was something I was worried about.

2. Once it's sorted the first time, it takes about 2 minutes from that point onwards.

3. The Windows software is a bit too skinned.

4. The speed camera warnings are too soon.

5. It's got an iPod interface. I've got an empeg. Nuff said.
