The user-friendly design also puts it a step above other navigation systems. The crystal-clear multicolor display makes for exceptionally easy viewing of maps, routes, driving directions, and other traveling information, such as mileage and distance.

 Major update problems! Major disappointment! July 26, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I got mine right after New Year's 2008 and it worked great for a while, but suddenly last month I started having big problems with the downloaded updates. Now everytime I TRY to download updates I get error messages and it craps out! The error reporting systems sucks too! Its anonymous, so there is no real help to be had! Just like a throwback to the old 486 computers when you try to install anything. I now cant even seem to use it at all! Do yourself a favor and go for a Garmin! I got a GPS III Pro when the technology just came out and despite its older technolgy, still works good.
TomTom ONE 3rd Edition July 25, 2008
I have only used it a couple time, it seems to work good. One time I put the wrong road in, it sent me there, but I was wrong. So fat, so good.
Very much worth the price. July 24, 2008
This GPS is very much worth the price. It is probably the best GPS available for under $175 and I am VERY satisfied with the product after using it for about three months now.
Why only four stars? Because this GPS does NOT read street names out loud. This means that instead of saying: "Turn left at Elm Street in 200 yards," it will say: "Turn left in 200 yards." Most GPS systems that read street names out loud cost over $200. TomTom does make GPS systems that can read street names out loud but they cost significantly more than this one. While this particular model does NOT read street names out loud, you can look at the screen to see the street name. While spoken street names certainly makes navigation easier, I have not found the lack of this feature to be too much of a problem (and I have been navigating completely new territory having just moved to a new state.).
Other than the lack of spoken street names, I have nothing but praise for this device. It works great. The user interface is an extremely easy and intuitive touch screen menu. You can save favorite destinations, it automatically saves recent destinations, it calculates routes quickly, and you can change the voice. There are several cool voices available including a hilarious Austin Powers voice.
All in all, I would highly recommend this GPS model because you simply won't find a better one for the price (believe me, I searched extensively). If you absolutely need spoken street names, then this is not the model for you and unfortunately, you'll have to spend a bit more money.
 Stay FAR FAR AWAY from this July 23, 2008
TomTom ONE 3rd Edition 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Vehicle Navigator
I've had a TomTom ONE 2nd Edition for a bit over a year. Have used it extensively on the West Coast and a bit in Florida and New England. It has recent but not the very latest maps.
In short, it's a disaster. I've used it to navigate to popular tourist destinations in Florida (the Everglades) and Oregon and to many other destinations. The only reliable navigation I get is going to a built-in POI. When I enter addresses (for buildings that have been in their location for 15-100 years), TomTom misses by 0.1 mile to as much as 2.6 miles! Once it sent me ("fastest route") over rough gravel forest roads, ultimately ending in a closed road that forced me to retrace my track for 10 miles.
The routing engine seems to have problems as well. It will go out of its way (that's my gas and time) to avoid some left turns. It also doesn't consistently know when [old] center dividers prevent turns (wasting more of my gas and time). Also, the unit is off by a factor of 1.5-2x when estimating trip times greater than 15-30 minutes. It's as though the unit assumes you always travel at exactly 30mph, even on interstate highways and freeways. Miserable for planning trips.
TomTom support offered a solution: Take a chance and buy some new maps...
Best way I've found to navigate with TomTom ONE: Go to Google Maps and get a map, then use TomTom to get you close and finish up with your handy Google map. Once you're at the destination, you can create a Favorite by marking your current location, and TomTom will navigate there reliably from then on.
On the good side, I like its graphics and the fact that I can create my own POI categories. This is something important that I wish Garmin offered in their Nuvi. Also, satellite acquisition is very fast and route recalculations are acceptably fast.
My TomTom also requires hard reset every several times it's used. TomTom's support had a good solution for me: buy a new TomTom.
I'm sort of taking their advice: am buying a new unit, but it's going to be a Nuvi... I'd recommend the same for anyone considering a TomTom ONE.
Highly configurable GPS July 23, 2008
If you're a bit of a computer geek, you can do a lot of easy customizations to the pictures, voices, and distinations. The screen is also comfortable to view. The one minor problem with this unit is that it can take a couple of minutes to achieve a satellite signal, which is rather annoying, otherwise everything works well.
