 TOMTOM ONE April 18, 2008
I cant imagine how I ever got along without my TOMTOM all these years, makes traveling fun and is easy to operate. The one draw back is that on this model you have to pay for map updates and that can run into some money.
 Very buggy software -Californians Beware! April 16, 2008
We bought this device about a year ago in North Carolina where it had a so-so performance. We started to notice some software problems, but nothing too severe at the time. Then, later that year, we moved to the Bay area and that's when the device really started failing.
Apparently TomTom thought a solid software design involves rebooting the device when it loses GPS. As soon as we hit an overpass, the device goes blank and it takes an exotic combination of pressing the start button, removing the power cable and re-inserting the memory card a couple of times to get it to work again.... until the next overpass. The couple of times it does manage to reboot by itself, it quietly reverts back to a random previously entered destination, causing us to suddenly get detoured and ending up driving in the completely wrong direction.
We have updated the software multiple times, but it does not seem to make a difference. Somehow it works better in Arizona and North Carolina, but performance in California is abysmal.
The maps are ok, if a bit outdated. The directions can be outright confusing, but once you understand what the voice *really* means and you start to selectively ignore what she says, you can get to your destination fairly easily.
I have read the stories about the terrible customer service, so we're not even going to bother trying to get our $200 back or getting the device repaired. We're switching to Garmin soon and this one will end up in the trash where it belongs.
Very useful April 14, 2008

I have found the Tom Tom very useful when traveling locally and across states. It seems very up to date with the roads and various routes. The only down side is that sometimes in very built up areas, i.e major cities there is a slight delay finding a GPS signal due to the buildings. But apart from that I have had no problems with this item and have found it to be a great help when traveling.
 EXCELLENT BUY!!!! March 24, 2008

I cannot say enough about Tom Tom One 3rd Edition. It PAID for itself. Recently, I got off track in Boston. With all the continuous construction there, it got me back to my destination. Plus, it was great to get me to all my points of interests in Florida. Many points of interests are preloaded into the Tom Tom system, which was a BIG plus. I would not go anywhere without Tom Tom. (In fact, my best friend just bought one, and she is using it on her trip to Utah.) This is a DEFINITE buy!
Great Product for the Price! March 13, 2008

For 6 months I poured over all of the gps units available out there...garmin, magellan, navigon, etc. and ultimately decided to go with the TomTom as it seemed to have both the good price and the high quality of product I was searching for. I'm a frequent traveler for work and for pleasure and I thought this device would be a handy tool for navigating and finding nearby restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, etc.
I just bought the TomTom about 2 weeks ago and was able to figure out how to use it straight out of the box. It has been a very easy to use and surprisingly has more features than I originally anticipated. One feature I've especially liked are the itinerary planning. If I am going to say my hotel and then to a restaurant and then to a bar I can set all of those 3 points as an itinerary and it will navigate me to each one in that order without having to enter in each destination as I need to go to them.
I've used it in large cities and in rural areas with excellent results. Occasionally it will give you a roundabout way to get somewhere, but you'll certainly get there.
Overall, for the price this unit simply cannot be beat.
