On buying my Tomtom one i was very excited and also a little disapointed with the size of the box, i purchased a TomTom one v4 europe with traffic updates.
The set up was very simple no CD to mess about with and put in my "Man Draw" never to be seen again all the software for your pc is on the unit itself just plug the usb lead in and away you go.
The new easy mount part is truly rubbish you click the unit into it and unless you get this right it will pop out, now bearing in ming you will be doing this on a windscreen of a car and if you have a car like mine a Ford Galaxy the windscreen is a mile away and proved fiddley to mount correctly also the USB leas from the charger just doesnt want to go in the hole so you have to take it off again and plug it in then try and snap the unit back into its mount fine on a nice cool day but not when its 96 degrees and you have just gotinto the car.
The screen is a little small but the on screen controls work well with the fattest of fingers and the unit is very fast to connect to satalites.
Going back to the new "easy mount" after three weeks mine decided to "pop" out of its mount as i was on a motorway it then slid dowwn the dashboard and hit the gear stick cracking the front of the screen and rendering it totaly useless although the screen had ceacked it still worked but you could not input anything into the unit hence rendering it useless.
I took the unit back to the HAlfords that i brought it from and was told there is nothing they could do and that i should ring TomTom i did this and was told by proberly the worst customer service assistant in the word that there is nothing they can do as this is physical damage bbut they would sell me a reconditioned unit for £20 morethan i brought the original one for.
Sorry TomTom its back to a map for me and i have a £150 paper weight now
