It is a bit confusing that my Go 930 is not on the list of the outfaced GPS however, a pre-Home page window states that it is..
So which one?
I do have European speed-cameras warning that purchased and also the US map. What happens with those? I need the European camera warnings!
Furthermore I do not see that the offered camera has beside of the US map (where I am) the European maps, which I use multiple times a year.
I do hope that the Go 930 still be updated. This GPS has more features than any GPS you make.

Double-check here:- https://uk.support.tomtom.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9508/locale/en_us
Beside of the confusing information, they do not list email address any longer to ask a question. Customer service is getting "better".
Unfortunately, the last URL does not work in the USA.

I am located in the US where I use the GO 930, also in Canada and several times a year in Europe.
The minuscule memory increase does not affect me since I do have a 64 GB SD memory card while the new GO 620 capable only to use a 32 GB micro SD memory addition. The added information on the screen is not helpful, you also have drive, not looking longer period the screen, trying to figure it out what and why showing.
Furthermore:
My GO 930 does everything what the GO 620 does and much more!
My GO 930 able to connect via built in FM transmitter to the car stereo and plays music, plays video and read books (I have ca. two thousand songs, eight of two-hour movies, a few books that reads on the Go 930)
It is unbelievably BAD that you cannot type in "My Places" (yeah, it is a better name than "Favorites" - to some) in the GO 620, while in my GO 930, I can put multiple favorites as I type in the address in addition - of course - all of the ability of the GO 620. It guides me from Germany over several countries to Portugal or from Umea Sweden to Baden bei Wien and anywhere else. The GO 620 you can only look in the map and then point it that there is where you want to go. Therefore, you must know your location on the map before you could put it in the stupidly named (My Places) list. If you do know the location on the map where you want to go then you do not need a GPS hence you know very well the area in that case. Insanely impractical and useless!
TomTom has no technical description - outside some "trying to get you" gimmicks for the new device on their site, and even worse; they do not have email contact any longer. So not only their products but the services too gone to the dogs.
It is notable that TomTom has lost all European carmakers' contracts.
I wonder why.

Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Search... Enter the required Address i.e... 15 High Street Ludlow
The device offers 15 High Street Ludlow --> Tap on the offered Address
A Quick Menu opens --> Tap on the 3Dot Icon --> Tap 'Add to MyPlaces'
