The first thing I did when I got it out of the box is to program the gal with the English accent into my Tom Tom. This is now my favorite gadget. Now I can go anywhere and not get lost LOL!!!!! Easy to use and had it up and running in 10 minutes. I Love my TOM TOM!!!!!

 Bluetooth claim is misleading March 10, 2007
4 out of 8 found this review helpful
The biggest dissatisfaction I have comes from its Bluetooth function claims. The product description leads me to think that it is a hands free device. I spent hours, finally figured out that the Bluetooth can only be used to transmit data to their TomTom Plus service via a cell phone, it is not a hands free device at all, which means you have to spend more money monthly to subscribe to the service and spend more money monthly to upgrade cell phone service to use your cell phone as a modem (otherwise you would get charged astronomical fees for data transfer by Cingular, Varizon......believe me, it happened to me and it hurts)
TomTom.com offers very confusing descriptions too, all pricing info is in Euro instead of US$.
If you don't want to spend the extra recurring cost to actually take full advantage of the Bluetooth, you may as well save the $100 to buy a Mio C310x, which is not equipped with Bluetooth, but has an MP3 player built in and its GPS function is just as accurate as TomTom One, not any worse by my testing.
Garmin > TomTom March 8, 2007

I have to say that I was very disappointed in this item. I've owned GPS units for many years, I'm kinda a tech geek. I specifically have liked the Garmin line of products. I decided though to try the TomTom, yeah the commercials did their job on me. They were clever and cute for sure.
The problem with TomTom is its lack of more advanced features. This is a very simple unit, not complicated at all, that is good. But, but its simplicity comes lack of features. The biggest feature lacking is a trip odometer page that the Garmin units do so well. When I travel I like to see average MPH, travel/stopped time, etc. In the TomTom you only really have the map. I also like to see elevation and that is lacking.
This is a sharp unit for sure, but the lack of features and a problem with the unit locking up led me to send this item back and get the Garmin Nuvi. The Garmin is a great unit that INCLUDES a carrying case and all the chargers you would need. You get every accessory with the Garmin. The TomTom nickles and dimes you for the same items.
Yeah the TomTom ONE is a few bucks cheaper, but you don't get the case and extra cables that are a necessity. The Garmin also has many great features in the "travel section" of the unit.
Please consider the Garmin Nuvi, it is twice the GPS unit.

Beware of customer service support. My unit was defective out of box. It seems flash card not readable. Manufacture customer support facilitated return. However, unit came back 2 weeks later with same problem.

I've only had this device a couple of days, but it is great so far. Some things are a little strange in its user interface, but once you get the hang of it, it is easy to use. I only have a couple of minor complaints with this GPS system. They are mainly with the TomTom desktop software, and their website. You MUST download the latest TomTom Home software, and do not use the TomTom Home software that is included on the DVD. I also have some complaints with newest version of the desktop software, but it will do for now. And their website states if you buy this by March 31, you can get a free map update (+ shipping). Ok, but I had to call them to figure out how not to be charged for it.
The device is great for the price. It's fairly smart. It will even try to guess you're position when you are not getting a signal. We have some long tunnels around here, and it started informing my of my next turn while I was in the tunnel with no signal. It guessed fairly close, because when it reacquired the satellite, it was only of my a few yards. Cool.
