 Best Recent Purchase I've made April 13, 2008
I am so pleased with my purchase. I have used it several times now, and it has always taken me where I've needed to go. Highly accurate, easy to use. Voice Sound is easy to understand, Screen Size is awesome. I can't say enough good things about his product. You won't be disappointed.
TomTom April 10, 2008
My husband bought me one for Christmas and I love it. For our anniversary he wanted a Garmin. Two days after use he returned the Garmin because it was not as easy to use as the TomTom. So I ordered him one just like mine.
TOMTOM ONE XL April 3, 2008
Was unsure of the reliability of tomtom until I was in Los Angles/Long Beach area of Ca for the first time, and it took me right to the entrance of every address I was looking for, and again driving from Eastern Virginia to Toronto, Canada with the same results. Very good companion, and very accurate.
Good Unit - Battery Life Limited March 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am new to GPS and have been hesitating buying a unit. The TomTom brand came recommended by a neighbor and by a taxi driver.
I live in a major city. TomTom seems to have fairly accurate directions and street ID. The directions sometimes are not the most direct, but when I take the shorter route, the unit accurately recalculates the path. It also picks up signals very very well. The destination addresses are easy to enter into the unit while on the road (which was the biggest obstacle to buying a unit).
The battery is limited to not more than 2 hours. Otherwise, it needs to remain plugged into the cigarette lighter - a bit limiting when wanting to walk with the unit.
Also, beware of where you mount this unit. I mounted it on my windshield (below the rear view mirror, as instructed), and it falls off once every hour. Mounting it on the dashboard probably is better . . . it also won't fall as far.
Overall, I am happy with my purchase. I think a smaller screen (less than the One XL) is useless, as my taxi driver was also explaining. However, the larger screen on the One XL is easy to read.
Lastly, I do not understand why this unit does not have "speech to text". It does have "spoken instructions", which means you hear "turn left in 500 feet" as opposed to "turn left on Main Street". The speech to text is another $50 - $100 dollars, depending upon where you buy the unit.
Still, I would recommend this unit to anyone.
Great Unit With Minor Flaws March 16, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
All I have to say is thi is a good product with minor flaws which I'm sure a few software updates can fix. I'm a cable tech. I tried the whole mapbook route of getting from place to place but it was a time consuming process and I found myself constantly turning around and having to pull over to read the mapbook again and flip pages etc. So i decided to get a navigation system. I wasn't sure which one to get (tomtom, garmin, etc.) but I knew I just wanted a basic one (since I'm only using it for work) I decided on tomtom b/c it seemed to get good reviews from people, including ease of use etc. I ordered the unit, it arrived and believe it or not I literally used it out of the box for a couple of days before I finally hooked it up to my computer for updates. It worked flawlessly. Very easy to use and put in addresses. I definitely love the iterinary feature. This is a feature that other gps systems are missing (according to other reviews.) and thats crucial for me b/c I can type in my whole route before i start for the day. The display is very easy to read and the directions are clearly spoken. It even adjusts the volume according to how fast you're going. It even has a "leeway" feature which allows you to specify a time you need to reach a destination. It'll let you know if you're ahead of schedule or behind schedule at a glance. Very good to know especially if you get stuck in traffic and you have an appt. somewhere. The unit acquires the satellite usually within 30 seconds. Even the very first time I turned it on it found the satellite within a minute. It even has a passcode feature which allows you to lock the unit when you turn it off which means no one can use it if they don't know the code. The only gripes I have are these. It does a great job of getting me exactly to my destination most of the time but sometimes the addresses are off. Sometimes they'll be off by a couple of houses and sometimes I'll have to drive another quarter mile or so. Not a big gripe for me b/c it does a way better job than I could with a mapbook but I expected it to me a little more accurate. Also I downloaded the updates but yet there are still a couple of outdated things in the unit. I know the unit has tried to send me down a dead end street twice. the street name and everything will be right but then I'll hit a dead end even though the unit shows the street continuing. Once again not a big gripe b/c its only happened twice (i've been using the unit for about 4 weeks now) but I've heard (once again through reviews) that garmin uses more updated maps. don't know if thats true though. Tomtom does offer a 2008 map download but I'm hesitant to buy it b/c it costs $80....so that $80 added to the cost of $299 i paid for the unit and I haven't even had the unit for a year. I think tomtom should offer one free map update with their units. mapshare is good but it can't catch everything...especially if users in your area don't turn in corrections or if they haven't even noticed those things to turn in. Plus after I spend the $80 there's no guarantee that it'll solve those two issues with the addresses and the dead ends. Other than those two gripes I love this unit. Its great for an entry level unit. I may eventually upgrade to the 920t for the traffic feature and the fm modulator/mp3 feature. (this unit offers the traffic accessory separately. I think its $99 or $199) But all in all this is a great easy to use unit. I would definitely recommend it to anyone (as long as they're not picky about the addresses. I'm satisfied with the unit at least putting me in the right area, lol) I hope this review helps anyone debating over a gps unit.
