TOMTOM one great while it worked

Advantages: quick and easy to set up ,fast GPS pick up
Disadvantages: breaks way too easily

...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...

TomTom One GPS

Advantages: Easy to Use, Cheap with All the Functions you really Need
Disadvantages: Being Told to Keep Right on Motorways. Can be Distracting.

.... You only need to say when to get off. Don't think there is much you can do about this and trust be it really starts to be annoying on a long journey. 5. Battery Life - Not great. Make sure you always carry an in car charge (which is supplied luckily). 6. Not always acurate. I was happily driving on the A1 when all of a sudden accordingy to the TomTom I was doing 70 in a 30 and it went crazy at me. If I had braked at this point I would have caused a huge pile up and certainly would not have been here to write the review. 7. Very tempting to play the game of beat the estimated time of arival - Not good for your licence. From the above you would probably think I really hate the system - Well I don't. Its one of the most useful things I've ever purchased. No more stopping at the side of a road and picking up a map. Being male I...

Review of TomTom ONE 3rd Edition

Tomtom - just in case! . . .

Advantages: Protects.
Disadvantages: None.

...of this idea however, is the fact that it would be a visual target for muggers, I suppose you can't win them all. The RRP is a whopping £19.99, although it is good quality, I suspect it is not actually worth this, and you can buy cheaper on the t'internet. . You have several other cheaper alternatives, you could go for a non brand name, or you could support your local charity shop and buy an old camera case - I am perfectly serious, you would have more choice of styles and colours, and you girls could co-ordinate your outfit with a choice of "designer" named camera cases. OR you could buy one from Tomtom, using vouchers. These are given away free with Tomtoms, and can be used to purchase any accessory, including cases. You will find that most vouchers are thrown away, or appear on ebay for 99p, most not even getting a single bid, so...

I bought this Tom Tom as every time I have to go somewhere that I'm not familiar with I get lost! It cost me £299, which is a lot of money, but as it has the speed camera's on it, it helps me keep a clean licence, so to me its well worth the money. You can get them cheaper if you don't want the camera's on it, but as this was a treat to me I...

TomTom One 3rd Edition

Advantages: Easy to use, great additional features
Disadvantages: Slightly slower than other models on satellite detection

... TomTom One 3rd Edition Background TomTom have long been the leading name in Car Navigation Systems. For this reason, they are often not the cheapest, but are definitely the most reliable and have the best features. The TomTom One is the original version, therefore the simplest, yet the 3rd edition has many of the features of the newer Car Navigation Systems. Price and Packaging My TomTom One was bought as a Christmas gift for £122 from the website Pixmania. As already said, you can get cheaper models but the TomTom has the best features. The packaging is simple, a square box with the instruction booklets in the bottom, the accessories (windscreen affixer, USB cable and in car charger) on top of the booklets and the TomTom itself in a plastic case sitting at the top. Setup The TomTom One 3rd Edition...

Review of TomTom ONE 3rd Edition

TomTom is Number ONE

Advantages: reliability easy to use
Disadvantages: large software files

...**TomTom ONE V2 Regional** >>>AWARD WINNER<<< ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ By being a gadgetty sort of person, I have been lured into the world of GPS well since the end of last year. The fact that this GPS system can save you time really appealed especially when good time management can make you lifestyle less stressful. It is very true that by having an effective GPS system in your car does all of above. The TomTom ONE V2 Regional (UK) has been awarded in coolest brands log 2006-2007. Not a big surprise as the Christmas retail price was very well received at £199.99. Along with affordable pricing structure and a excellent selling product, this version is the most sought after Sat Nav system that is appealling and is efficient and graphically delightful. Personally, I will agree...

Review of TomTom ONE V2 Regional Great Britain

The only ONE you'll need!

Advantages: Signal strength is excellent; Price; Look; Ease of use
Disadvantages: Might be hard to operate with large fingers; can be dangerous to use whilst driving

...balance. You can buy those memory-cards which have new maps included to fit into your existing Sat Nav, but this will save you a lot of money! The instructions are clear and tell you exactly how to use your new TomTom, although because I've had one before which was very similar, I didn't take much notice of the instructions! Thanks to the TomTom being 'touch operated', you don't need to carry anything to enable you to use the Sat Nav; you simply use your fingertips. The touch screen is very intuitive and reacts quickly and smoothly, although thanks to the slightly small screen (I'll get to that in a moment), you can occassionally end up pressing the wrong key. As I just mentioned, the TomTom ONE Classic is rather small. The Binatone that I purchased was a wide-screen, and I quite liked the appearance of the Sat Nav being wider. The TomTom...

TomTom One? It will change your life

Advantages: Excellent navigation and GPS reception, portable, good value for money
Disadvantages: Poorly located charging indicator LED

...One to connect to a PC could be more user-friendly. It is definitely not up to the mark. • I have had to reset it sometimes when starting it up, but this is not a major issue. I have heard people say that the TomTom One's loudspeaker is not as good as its predecessors'. I myself have had no problems with it. The volume is also linked to the car speed so that the volume is increased at higher speeds to improve audibility.

Review of TomTom ONE Great Britain

TomTom Number ONE

Advantages: Easy to use, Lots of options
Disadvantages: None as yet

...pleasantly surprised at the amount of items that I found in the box. 1 TomTom One Sat-Nav system SD memory card containing maps and application Mount for windscreen Car charger USB Cable Product code card User guide Installation cd Additional voices TomTom home software Various information leaflets. There are a few other accessories that are available to buy separately such as various cases and a remote control. You can also buy SD memory cards up to 2GB, but you do get one with the system so unless you lose it I don't think you'll need another. * THE LOOK * The system looks very sleek and hi-tech. It is mostly a greyish/silver colour which is darker around the LCD display. The touchscreen covers most of the front of the device. On the top of the device on the right is an on/off button and a LED light that is used when...

TomTom One XL. It just Exels!

Advantages: Easy to use, incredible detail
Disadvantages: None to speak of, really.

...at dirrections? In a word, Excellent! But I would temper that with one bad experience. It sent us to a ski hill via a road that is closed in winter! A bit of a let down, but the only bad experience in 2,300KM of driving over 10 days. So, a wholehearted recommendation. Its a great driving aid. I think it improves safety too, because there really is no need to be making sudden dirrection changes when you spot a sign at the last second! TomTom gives you clear and consise dirrections before and during route deviations. I love it!!...
