EXCELLENT TOOL; VERY HAPPY August 22, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
What a great tool to have. I use it both when I know exactly where I'm going (to check TomTom and see if I agree) and when I don't know where I am. TomTom gets me where I need to go on every occasion. It screwed up in Boston so I gave it 4 stars and not 5 stars. I heard "you've reached your final destination" and I was on some street in Boston and where was the Westin? I was not happy. I drove aimlessly straight and saw a glimmer of something familiar and there was the hotel.
I agree that the battery life is not so great. Best to have cell phone already charged if you're going to be in the car with TomTom because there's only one cigarette lighter.
Yes, it does NOT tell you the name of the street to turn on. But THAT IS NOT A PROBLEM. TomTom tells you ahead of time "in 800 yards, turn right" and then at the top of the screen will be the NAME OF THE STREET. And you have the map with the BRIGHT GREEN ARROW showing you exactly where to turn. And then when you are AT THE STREET, it says "turn here" and says it AGAIN so you just KNOW when you're at the turn; plus the maps are pretty accurate as far as where the arrow is telling you to turn. Also, if you picked the wrong street to turn on, you'll see TomTom recalculating the route, so you can always turn around and keep going and wait for TomTom to say "TURN HERE." Or you can just listen to TomTom lead you to your destination from where you are. This time don't jump the gun and wait for TomTom to say "TURN HERE"!
I am very very pleased with my TomTom GPS. It's reasonably priced and very pleasant to use. I recommend it 100 percent. (I've had it for 5 months now and have used it a lot.)
 Love it! August 21, 2008
I bought the TomTom 3rd edition & I love it! I use it primarily to deliver flowers around Cape Cod & I have to say that while I've lived here for over 40 yrs, we get orders for places/areas I've never heard of in our delivery area. I just put in the town, address and frequently ask for another route that does not take me on main roads. I have found places that were not in the Cape Cod Road Atlas! I would never have found them w/out this device. The only bad part is that a few more instructions included w/the product would be nice since it has taken me quite a while to figure out how to use it & I'm still learning. But overall, I'd highly recommend! PS: I did not install mine on the dash or windshield. I put it in a place I can hear it even though I can't nec see it. I would think having this on dash/windshield would be very distracting. I just listen to the instructions and follow them.
 Good Product With Weaknesses August 18, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've had a TomTom ONE 3rd Edition for about 2 months now & overall it's a fairly easy product to use & does navigate well. It's not unusual for it to say that you've arrived at your destination a half block away from the actual destination as there are quite a few map errors. Also, it does tend to route you via Interstate highways even if a different highway is more direct & much faster. There is a map correction feature that does take some getting used to as it's not overly intuitive. Probably the most annoying feature is that the unit has to be plugged into your computer's USB port when it's not being used or the battery will go completely dead within a week's time. I contacted tech support on this issue & was advised that this is normal. Other brands do not have this problem. The battery life is pretty good at about 2-2.5 hours. The navigation is pretty accurate & the map corrections are a real bonus. There is a lot of free content that you can download (voices, sounds, color schemes, etc.) to really personalize the unit. Overall it's a good unit--I bought it because it was listed in Consumer Reports as one of the best basic units for the money--but given the negatives I've observed I think I would probably go for a Garmin if I had it to do over again.
Pleased with purchase. August 18, 2008

I received a 4.2" TomTom One for Father's Day based upon my son's extensive research into GPS units and this purchase was for my college age daughter for her birthday. It seems to be basically the same as my unit but has smaller screen and cost $100 less. Seems like a good buy. About the only complaint I have is that they won't save alternate routes to the "favorite" list.
 TomTom 1 Disappointment August 17, 2008
I used my new TomTom 1 for the first time on a 3,000 miles trip here in the USA. Right away, the thing kept falling off the dash base. I did not attach it to the windshield as I would be travelling through States where that is illegal. I'm not convinced it would have stayed on the windshield any better. After about 20 times of falling off, I finally just placed it in the ashtray and it seemed to get the signals just fine from there. Secondly, and probably most important, it tells you that you will be turning right or left at 1/2 mile & 1/4 mile ahead, BUT, IT DOES NOT TELL YOU THE NAME OF THE STREET TO TURN ON. The system worked OK other than these 2 annoyances. HINT: If it won't turn on in your car, check to be sure the charging adaptor is fully engaged in the cigarette lighter. I was at my wits end by the time I figured this out!
