TomTom ONE Europe

Advantages: Light, comprehensive, easy to use
Disadvantages: May occasionally send you up the garden path!

My partner already had a Tom Tom Go, but sometimes we both needed help. He travels all round the country and recently had to plan routes for a new car launch from many dealer locations in the South East, with a Tom Tom he was able to plan the routes to perfection, detailing mileage, junctions, even speed traps. The Tom Tom One is very small and compact, and can even be used when walking, especially around large towns. A while ago, my exhaust fell ...
...I looked underneath my car there was the problem - detached exhaust! While I sounded really good, it didn't really go with a Renault Megane, I sounded more like a jet taking off! Anyhow, there I was in Tesco's car park having not a clue where the nearest exhaust fitter was, so I put 'exhaust fitters' into my Tom Tom and it showed me a list of the nearest. The garage I found wasn't far away, and they did a really good job. This 'find' facility is ... Read review

Advantages: So simple to use and amazingly accurate
Disadvantages: Sometimes loses satellites

I have been using the Tom Tom One for over 12 months now, so do consider myself an expert on this particular piece of kit! Why did I buy it in the first place - that bit is easy, I travel a lot in a new job and to towns I would have never heard of before - on top of that I had some fantastic inside information that I will share with you. A friend of mine is in the car lease business - everything from Ford to Ferrari! Obviously most of the high ...
...delivers cars to their owners all over the country he has used them all, so he is the real expert. Guess what - he always carries his Tom Tom One with him He has become so frustrated with other systems unuserfriendliness (if that is a word) that he sticks with what he considers to be the best - the Tom Tom One. His advice - unless you need the fancy features of the other models - leave them alone and buy this basic. Most of the upgrades of the high ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to set up, easy to use
Disadvantages: loss of signal, lack of POIs, marks many roads unknown

I recently tried to use this Sat Nav system whilst on holiday in the Algarve, Portugal. NOT ONCE did it find us where we wanted to go. Problems we had: 1. Most roads, even the main road between PT and spain where marked as unknown. 2. often drove us to the middle of a construction site and said there was a beach there. 3. continuously fell off the windscreen 4. Sometimes lost satellite signal at the most critical time for up to 10 minutes. However, ...
...in the UK, this system works better but it is certainly a TERRIBLE system to use in Iberia. There were a few good things to point out: 1. Easy to set up 2. Easy to use. However, this only brings it up to a poor rating simply because it couldn't perform its basic function of finding us directions. In conclusion, DON'T BUY this Sat Nav for Iberia. ... Read review

Advantages: Clear easy to use menus
Disadvantages: Mapping sometimes inaccurate

I have owned my Tom Tom for nearly two years now, and use it most days for work. The system is really easy to use thanks to a touch screen menu system, using symbols as well as descriptions for the main menu options, and it is really easy to program and set up with your own details. For the most part, the mapping is accurate and gets you to where you want to be, but as with all sat nav's a degree of common sense is required, and you should never ...
...been dissapointed with recently was the performance of the system in Cornwall. No matter how you program it the Tom Tom will always lead you down narrow country lanes rather than the safer A or B roads, and very annoingly it was convinced that we were in the middle of a field when on some parts of the A30, despite updating the maps on a regular basis. I have also dowloaded the speed camera function, and this is a very worthwhile upgrade, but doesnt ... Read review

...of plastic in the preparation. The code is unambiguous for I model, and is of 15 figures. A made time this, the Tom Tom is ready to to be used... It is not difficult, it is immediately ready to the use. For first thing I planned the base (my house) introducing first the town, then the address. in the turn of little seconds, after to have done the satellite search, the cursor was on the point of the map where was my house... Here, the first time that ... Read review
