V1 (Tomtom, not Doodlebug) LATEST! . .

Advantages: No setting up, plug & play.
Disadvantages: None.

...review ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- As a regular user of the TomTom, I do recommend these. I do realise there are a large number of reports on them, but here are my opinions on the version one, I will let someone else write about the version 2. I would like to say to anyone considering buying one of these, you can still buy the version one (old stock) if you can find one, this model can now be bought for less than £150 - an absolute bargain. the main difference is the size, the newer one being slimmer and therefore lighter. The next difference is the software, although all you do is download the latest version maps & upload onto your Tomtom, all 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...

Review of TomTom ONE Great Britain

TomTom One - Great Britain & Republic of Ireland

Advantages: Cheap, Easy to use, aesthetically pleasing
Disadvantages: Poor battery life, the odd glitch in the directions

...I was a little wary about buying a satnav system as you hear the stories about them leading you off into the middle of a field or lake, but I had nothing to worry about with the TomTom One. It's light, compact, cheap and cheerful. 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 you know if there are either on your journey (you get a months free trial of these services). On the flipside though, the battery life is poor, but you do get an in car charger which plugs into the cars fag lighter, as well as a usb charger...

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

...Connection: Via mini-USB cable Dimensions: 116mm x 91.6mm x 67.6mm Weight: 310g What's in the box? ******************** • TomTom One device with integrated GPS antenna • Detailed maps of Great Britain already installed on SD Card • Cigarette lighter charger • Easy to install car mount • USB cable • Software CD Conclusion ************* The TomTom One is without doubt the No.1 entry level satnav in the market with its accurate mapping, ease of use, portability, superior GPS reception, along with its budget pricing.

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

TomTom Number ONE

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

...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 sense of direction (like me!!). Definitely a great price from a well known satellite navigation system manufacturer. * SOME USEFUL INFO * The size of the system is 96mm x 82mm x 25mm. It weighs around 174 grams. It has a 3.5 inch TFT colour LCD touchscreen that is 220 x 240 pixels and has 64.000 colours. It has a siRFStarIII chipset. 32MB RAM Bluetooth 2.0 * IN THE BOX * I was...

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...

Review of TomTom ONE Europe

Tomtom One V2 UK & ROI

Advantages: Size, ease-of-use, battery life, clarity of screen and speech
Disadvantages: awkward software for pc, no wall charger

...This little toy was possible the biggest revolution to happen to my driving in all the years since I passed my test. I had seen a friend use it and knew I was going to be happy with it. The unit comes supplied with a software package to connect to your pc for updates via the internet, and a usb cable to connect and recharge the unit, and a cigarette lighter so you never run out of power on the move. Once connected to your pc, the unit is fully operational via your computer screen providing you can get a signal indoors, rather than through the tomtom's touch screen until you disconnect it. To be honest, it was that easy to use the first time I turned it on, I couldn't even tell you if it came with a manual or not! The unit is simple, neat and effective. Finding your destination is pretty easy and can be done a number of ways, by...

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

...- I've seen some around £50 - but I do believe you get what you pay for, and as I only wanted a Sat Nav with UK maps on it (TomTom ONE Classic comes with Republic of Ireland maps too), it was a great price. You can get Sat Nav's with Europe maps too, but as my parents have one of these, I'd be able to borrow their Sat Nav when I drive abroad! IN THE BOX, AND THE TOMTOM'S APPEARANCE Included in the box were: * The Sat Nav * Car Charger * Instructions * USB Charger The best thing about the TomTom ONE Classic is the fact you can connect it up to your laptop/PC to charge it. Before, I could only charge my old Sat Nav via my car's cigarette lighter, but thanks to the USB cable, you can now charge it via your PC. To be honest though, I've only ever done this once! I think it's slightly easier to charge it whilst you're driving...

Review of TomTom ONE XL Classic

TomTom ONE V2 Europe

Advantages: Easy to use, excellent screen layout, no lag.
Disadvantages: Some options not included, think carefully about which version to use.

...should be heading for. It has software that is easy to use and allows you to connect to your home computer and update readily. You do need to use the in car charger if going any distance, but its easy enough to use. The sucker is very quick to put in place, and also take down again. I like that you can have places of special interest, like petrol stations showing. Especially useful when going to an area that is remote (like parts of Wales and Scotland) so you have an idea of where a station is. I have two memory cards, simply to ensure I always have a back up since all information is on the one card. Route options are good, with more than just the quickest option available. Great if on holiday and you want to go off the beaten track a little bit. I've tried a couple of other Stat Nav in car systems, and the TomTom is my...

Review of TomTom ONE V2 Regional Great Britain

TOM TOM Number ONE!

Advantages: Simple layout onscreen, idiot proof,
Disadvantages: optional extras not included i.e safety cameras, traffic alerts.

...So there I was Christmas Day dreading another year of unwanted socks and underwear. Why people still feel the need to buy more even when last years haven't been used yet is beyond me. I sat down to open my presents and was very surprised to be presented with a TomTom One Sat Nav. Great, something exciting and interesting I can actually use after Christmas Day. So after opening the box and throwing the manual back into the box I switched it on. Catching little greeting at the beginning I got a good feeling about this present! On first set-up you need to enter a few details to get you started such as your address and name etc nothing too challenging and very quick. After that I was ready to go. I decided to explore the menu and see what I was dealing with before I let myself loose on the roads. I was pleasantly surprised how simple...
