 Very Inaccurate February 25, 2008
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have used the Tom Tom a few times over the last month. Out of 12 addresses I have 3 errors. My house is located a block away and on the other side of the street from where it says it is. In a trailer park, it takes me a block past the entrance and in the city it took me to the 400 block rather than the 225 address I was looking for. I had to turn it off and use the old fashion eye ball approach. I am very disappointed and would never buy a Tom Tom again.
 Great machine for the price February 24, 2008

I waited over one year before purchasing a GPS. Although a sad confession to make , the anticipation of the 'buy' was a harmless past-time in this period. I assessed my needs & how often I would actually use one & when the one 3rd ed. hit the 160 ish mark , I bought it. I am very happy with it. I set up the on-line downloads & that updated it straight away ( free for the first month ) & allows one to create routes etc & download more 'points of interest'. For example a sign for Dunkin' D's shows up when I drive past one ( there are many other options , to appease my wife , a sign for Target also appears ) . I also downloaded, for free, an English ladies voice for the directions. All personal choice & I prefer the sound of her. I like the option of Zip/post codes & it shows telephone numbers of points of interest . On driving, I have found it to be quick in picking up signals ( again , one can download sat' info' each week that assists the GPS in locating them ) & the information to be just what I need. The announcements , thus far, have been easy to understand & operate on; as have the screen directions. I like the 'help' features that give basic information on first aid & car stuff.
I wld strongly recommend this product. My 2 pieces of advice : If you drive & need to use a GPS ALOT , consider one with a larger screen - that is true for any GPS ( I didn't think the extra 100 or so was worth it for the number of times I really need to use it , but a daily user may think differently) . ALso , I strongly recommend buying the bracketron Nav-MAt. I live in a high crime area ( my car has been broken into 4 times & once they only stole the rear view mirror ) & this beauty ensures that no marks are left on the screen , also , it makes it easier to take the GPS out of the car & away somewhere safe.
Overall, this is a very solid & well priced unit that will serve most buyers well . It does exactly what it says 'on the tin'.

Update - I have used this a lot over the past few weeks. Updating points of interests is quite easy. Like a few other reviewers; it is far easier to plan ones route & update etc via the computer screen. The TT allows 'remote' access & from the computer ( with the TT attached ) new routes & map updates can be processed. I have also set my screen to show the 'map update' icon. For example, when driving, if you notice that a shop has closed & it is on the POI ( points of interest ) -or you want to add a new POI, simply tap on the icon & it will save the location & allow one to edit & send the information to others. I used this option last night. It was very quick & once you have done it once, it will be second nature.
Tom Tom One 3rd Edition February 23, 2008
I love my Tom Tom One but I do have trouble programing it. Once I get over the initial setting up I'm fine. My husband has had one for a couple of years and doesn't have any problems setting it up. Maybe I need more practice. I did have trouble with one address as there were several Cumberlands listed under the same zip code in Maine. It didn't recognise the actual street name I wanted to find as it was too recent. The instructions are so clear that you can't get lost as long as you put the right information in. I think it's a great machine.

My son, who travels a lot, recommended a TomTom for our friend who has not travelled extensively. We ordered one after a long search to find one in stock. Once a few principles are learned, we can find a route to nearly anywhere. Even our local restaurants in Podunk Corners, MS are listed. I love it.
Great buy! February 20, 2008
At first I was doubting whether I should buy this item or not because I had never heard of TOMTOM. This product is pretty sweet. You can hook it up to your computer download new maps or updates. Plus you can share your maps. So if a road is closed or a new road is now available you can draw it in and share your maps with other TOMTOM owners. You can also download the speed trap updates. This alerts you when you are coming up to an area with traffic cameras. I am very satisfied with this purchase.
