TomTom ONE Great Britain

...a very satisfied user of TomTom One and would definitely recommend it to any potential buyer. We bought the TomTom One about 4 months ago and to date, it hasn't given us a chance to regret our decision. The TomTom One is one of the numerous entry-level satnavs in the market, but does not disappoint with its loads of features and reasonable price (We bought ours in Aug 2006 for £199). It has become very popular in the market. There are, of course, ...
...and my friends' limited experience, TomTom devices are way ahead in terms of the user friendliness, the mapping, the feature set and the sheer performance. The experience ***************** Earlier, driving to some place meant that we had to do some prior research about the route to take. Then during the journey, with my husband driving, I had to play the role of the navigator, keeping the map book open, keeping a track of where we are and which ...

Review of TomTom ONE Great Britain

...this is free. The TomTom is an absolute doddle to set up and operate, and much has been written on the subject. My view is that the simple instructions and pictograms are enough for anyone to get it to work. It will work without any hassle lying on the passenger seat, although after a couple of hours the battery will let you down, so a charging lead (included in the box) will have to be plugged into the cigarette lighter socket. The mounting kit, ...
...slips into even smaller pockets. TomTom recommend that you do not leave the mounting kit stuck to the windscreen overnight, as it may lose suction, I agree with them but more for a theft prevention reasons. I also use my TomTom in trucks, and find the battery life is ample, considering you can leave it on charge all the time, except perhaps when you need to use the cigarette lighter socket fto charge a mobile phone. I have made a home charger, by ...

Review of TomTom ONE Great Britain

I've been using the TomTom one for a couple of months now, so thought I'd write a review on how I've found it. If you're after a review with lots of info about the spec of this thing, then don't read on, there are loads of websites out there with that info, I'm just going to give you an overview of how I find it in use, and pick out a couple of features that I find very useful. The TomTom One has just been revised and this is version 2. It's not ...
...if you go to the TomTom website, the maps are around £35 for each country, and the map for the whole of Europe (as supplied with the European version) is £119. Having never used Sat Nav before I decided to try it out on local roads first of all, and routes that I already know. I have to say generally I was very impressed. It does generally try to take you on all the main roads (so if you know lots of little shortcuts through residential areas it ...

Review of TomTom ONE Great Britain

The new TomTom One is a huge improvement on the design of the out side casing. The old look was large and bulky and to tell you the truth I thought that it was ugly, but this new design is brilliant. It's smaller, nice flat screen, light weight and fits snugly into your hand. I find this comfortable and very user friendly. I bought my TomTom because I was sick and tired of having maps all over my car as I enjoy going out a lot. I can have my TomTom ...
...I found with the new TomTom one is that it is so easy to input the destination that you want to go to. There are various way you can do this either by City Centre's, Street name and number or can just enter the postcode if you know it. Another function is that you can add your favourite places like friends, relatives and other places you like going. Not only does the TomTom tell you where to go but it also tells you were other things are as well. ...

I got the TOMTOM One from halfords for £179.99, although I am sure there would be a better deal on the net, I haven't been driving for long and hate not knowing how to get where I need to be. I picked a TOMTOM navigator because I had more about them and they were said to be one of the best and very reliable. I have only had it for a couple of weeks and it didn't take long to figure out how to use, its an absolute lifesaver for someone who has no ...

...a sat nav system. TomTom is always the name that springs to my mind when sat nav systems are mentioned, and to be honest, I didn't mind paying a bit more for the 'name'. Inside the box, there is the TomTom, a windscreen holder, a memory card for storing maps and information, and the car charger. Upon booting the TomTom you are presented with a host of different options, all very easily accessible through large, clear buttons. The clarity of the ...
...very easy to connect your TomTom to your PC. This allows to to obtain loads of additional content. You can download other maps, even for other countries, the locations of speed cameras, additional sounds and voices, and additional POI's. POI's are 'Points of Interest', for example, me - being a fastfood junkie - has a POI for McDonalds, so it alerts me when I am approaching one, or will guide me to the nearest one! TomTom can also connect via bluetooth ...

...buy another paper map again. Tomtom one is a low price navigation solution, but you wont be disappointed by its quality. The voice directions are very clear, a touchscreen is very good, and the user interface is really simple to use. One of the features I found most appealing was the fast and automatic direction recalculation, after you make a wrong turn. On the negative side, TOMTOM one has only the gps navigation functionality, I would found very ...

The touchscreen interface is extremely easy to use when programming your destination, either by city name, street address or postcode. Other useful features would be the Points of Interest search, which finds useful things like banks, airports, garages and hotels near your destination or location. You can also subscribe to a roadworks and speed camera service which lets ...

The screen is just about the right size, andy samller and it would be impossible to glance at it quickly while driving, and the map is easy to follow.

Oh where to begin! Yes, a great accessory for any driver. But let's get into detail shall we? I'm not going to talk about specifics or prices etc... Just my experience of using the Tom Tom One and what its like for a normal everyday, not to great at technology kind of person! So hope it helps! I bought the Tom Tom One from Halfords with great expectations. The first bad news is that if your car has any form of UV Protection or de-steaming on the ...

Now as I have a sun-roof on my car this was ok for me, as it's a small metal square which I can leave just on the outside of my sunroof, so I can leave it there but at no risk to people getting into my car. Unfortunately for those that do not have a sun roof you will have to hang it out your window unless you can do some clever crafty work so it goes out through your bonnet.... so not a great perk I'm afraid.

Review of TomTom ONE Great Britain

I bought my Tom Tom One (V2) over 2 years ago and am constantly impressed at both the functionality and build quality. Having no sense of direction I keep this in the car for those trips where I'm venturing into unfamiliar territory and it's saved me many hours of driving round in circles. The installed software is stable and well designed with regular updates using the Tom Tom home application. Build quality is excellent and the unit has a reassuring ...
...without the Tom Tom unit as the unit runs atop Linux and can be mounted as if a flash drive, allowing files to dragged and dropped onto the device. Map updates are worth paying for periodically to maintain currency and need to be factored into the cost of running any Sat Nav device. Screen size is perfectly adequate and I can't imagine why a bigger screen would be needed unless installing in a truck or similarly oversized vehicle. Highly recommended. ...

I got a Tom Tom One last Xmas (which ever version was out then), as I was starting to do quite a bit of long distance travelling. I was very impressed when I got it out of the box, my dad has one of the older models, which were very big and bulky, but this had a fairly small screen, and was very thin. Can slot straight into your pocket when you leave the car, could be handy for walking too. I say that the screen is small, however when switched ...
...information is on the screen without cluttering. I can't see any need for the XL version myself, but having not tried it I don't know. Directions and well in advance and clear, and there's a number of voices and screen colours to suit your preferences. It's highly simple to use, anyone can do it. The battery life isn't too bad, but could be better. It will get you a fair way though, I've driven from Hull to Warwick and then half was back and it's ...

Review of TomTom ONE Great Britain

After much deliberation on what was the best sat nav system to purchase, i went for the tom tom one which i bought from amazon for £151 and I must saw its an amazing piece of kit! I was initially attracted to the tom tom one due to its sleek and stylish design, not as clunky at the back as some units out there and after various discussions with a few work colleagues I was advised this was the best out there on the market. The unit was easy to set ...
...and I was ready to try it out. Like most sat navs on the market, the technology is not 100% yet and although it seems to get me to my destination without problems sometimes its not fully exact but does direct you practically there! You have to have some sense about you when using this product however, not as much the tom time but all sat navs as there has been a few issues where it has tried to direct people down a road that may only be suitable ...

Review of TomTom ONE Great Britain

Having only had my Tomtom one for a short time I now wonder how I got on without it!! There is very little to dislike about the product, in fact my only piece of advice is don't ditch the A-Z just yet as the navigation is not 100% accurate, however this is something common to all GPS not just Tomtom. In general it will navigate me within sight of where I want to be, even if it doesn't get me to the doorstep. On the plus side, the Tomtom has a clear ...
...an arrival time. The tomtom will then tell you your ETA, which is a bit scary when you get stuck in traffic and you can see how late you are going to be!! On th plus side, if you do get stuck in traffic, there is a handy alternative route button, which without any fuss will get you out of the traffic and on your way again. The only thing I haven't worked out yet is how to avoid certain roads in the first place, although I know you can do this. Also ...
