Review of TomTom ONE IQ Routes Edition Europe 42

TomTom thumbs up!

Advantages: Easy to use, lots of options
Disadvantages: Needs to be updated monthly

...I brought this as a gift for my mother last christmas as she doesn't often drive to far and, like me, is slightly geographically challenged Purchase and Price --------------------------- I brought the tom tom from Tesco, at the time I had a voucher for £50 off voucher which made it only £99 in price, very reasonable I feel for a sat nav. I did have quite a few problems with the ordering and collection of item, but thats a whole other Tesco review! The XL One comes in a pack with a small black pouch case, which is fastened by velcro, a mains charger, an in car charge (to be plugged into the lighter switch in the car) and the holder/stand that suctions the Sat Nav to the wind screen. Also Included in the price was a £10 online redeemable voucher, which can be used to purchase a different case or celebrity voice overs for those...

Review of TomTom ONE XL Regional

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...

One to rely on - generally...

Advantages: Very easy to use, Good value and does the job
Disadvantages: not great in Manchester?!

...Overview With a change of job last year, I suddenly found myself travelling to new areas, without a printer to print off AA roadmaps, and I was ?forced? to abandon my maps and trust in technology? I must admit I am on my 2nd Tom-Tom One as the first one ?died? when I was updating the maps on the tom-tom website, that being said, this one has been utterly reliable, and I wouldn?t be without it. The Product Technical?s With a very clear and easy to read 3 and a half inch touch screen, and pre-installed maps for the UK and ROI, this really doesn?t take any setting up? jump in the car, plug in the in-car charger, stick it to your windscreen (only issues here are on very cold days when it slides across your screen til the car warms up) and type in the full postcode, or address. Within a few seconds, the route is calculated...

Review of TomTom ONE V4 Regional

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...

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 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...

TOM TOM Number ONE!

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

...to use the unit was. Good icons and conveniently named to help even the most challenged of users. The great thing with TomTom is it's so simple to use. Navigating is great it allows you to plan a journey using street names, postcodes, recent destinations, points of interest such as petrol stations, shops, hospitals etc and favourites which you can store at anytime. There is so much to talk about with the TomTom One I could bore the living daylights out of even the most patient of readers. I will try to be brief but informative. Simple menus and ease of use, planning routes are simple, the unit even has predictive text so no need to type the whole name it will find it for you, great voices so no need to be crying for Jane to shut up 30 mins into the journey before resorting to throwing her out the window. TomTom also offers Plus...

Tom Tom One is Inexpensive Sattelite navigator

Advantages: Touch screen, Easy to use/install
Disadvantages: Has some bugs in map and direction, Low battery life

...I bought the TomTom One some eight months ago. I had some experience of using a navigation system as my previous car had one built in and I became quite dependent on it. Cost I had bought a new Audi A4 sometime in 2003 and remember paying around 1000 Pounds extra for the built in sat nav system. It was a bad decision and would recommend you not to make the same mistake. But for my recent car, I was determined to do the research and then buy a Sat nav system, so I spent few days going around all the shops and searching the net to compare different Sat nav products and prices. I finally settled on the TomTom One because I personally found it to be the best value for money out there at the time. I ended up paying only £220 fron Dixons web offer. But presently it can be bought for less then 170 Pounds. Reasons to buy 1. Easy to...

The Oh-Mighty Tom-Tom!!!

Advantages: Care free journeys (long distance or new places) No more traffic jams!
Disadvantages: Desirable to thiefs and does need to be charge!

...We got this amazing peice of equipment last year before we set off for our holiday in France. ***My Story*** Unlike every single trip to France for the past 6 years, this one was care free and relaxed! No more fights between the parents about directions or asking how long it was until we got there from the kids (as it could be seen from the back seat and says in days, hours, minutes and seconds how long until you reach your destination)! After driving through the whole of Scotland, England and onto the ferry, we parked for 5 mins and changed the memory card to France... that simple and then we were back on the road. Once we were there the TomTom still got so much use: for day trips, directions to the beach or supermarket or even to remember your way back to your hotel/campsite after a day out. TomTom never failed to impress...
