| Just wondering when the review will be posted, hopefully TomTom should have not issues now, as they have released the 910 in the US. |

why would you think the reporter is wrong? Maps and POIs are by definition outdated. I can't speak for the UK but here in my area 90% of the POIs are wrong, and another 250% are missing, even on the maps for the 910.

Well in his report he wrote
| Quote: | | Our only complaint is that the POI database was outdated. We tried to go to a baseball stadium only to find that the GO 910 still referenced the old stadium torn down five years ago. |
And
| Quote: | | Despite the outdated POI data we encountered and the high price, the TomTom GO 910's remarkable ease of use and plethora of useful and fun features help it blow away the competition. |
Yet in cons he wrote
| Quote: | • Pricey
• Outdated maps |
Surely he should have wrote outdated POI's rather than maps so in essense he is wrong now it could be a typo or not understanding the differences or could be me just being pedantic :D

It is just you being pedantic. Both the maps and the POIs are outdated. That's the case not just for TomTom, it is true for all vendors. It's just a question of HOW outdated the information is. This will vary by region, but overall you can expect it to be at least 2 years old.
