 IMHO Better than Garmin Nuvi 350! December 30, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Ok, since there's already so many reviews I doubt mine will get read, however I just wanted to add a few points for those considering this and the Garmin Nuvi 350.
My experience with navigation units includes OEM GUI based navs in Lexus, BMW & Mercedes, the text-based Becker Traffic Pro (used in Porsche's, BMW's, Ferrari, etc.) and now the TomTom One and Garmin Nuvi 350.
I purchased two TomTom's as gifts because of the Best Buy rating by Consumer Reports. I really wanted to get the Garmin Nuvi 350 based on advice from a friend who has done a lot of research and said it was the best for the money, but that would be too expensive.
Let me tell you, after driving using both units I prefer the One to the Nuvi 350. The Nuvi has more features, great battery life, better voice directions and faster calculation, but the One is clearer/easier to drive to, updates faster in tight areas where there are many turns and can be found for less than half the price.
The Nuvi 350 has some nice features; it can play MP3's, it has a long battery life without being plugged in, thus can be used for walking directions, slightly easier to use interface, blue tooth interface for phone and auto dimming. Maybe others... however, most of those features aren't needed in a navigation unit--better save the money and put it towards an unlocked iPhone instead :)). It all boils down to which unit is easier to drive to.
When you're in a big city with one turn after another, when you approach an "X" or "Y" intersection instead of "+", when the highways split funny, etc. in those cases I prefer the One. I don't recall once making a wrong turn with the One, however when my friend and I went to New York City (following Nuvi 350 directions), he made 3-wrong turns (didn't get on the correct highway) and lost 15-minutes, according to calculations, before he let me drive his car to actually get us to where we were going. Driving to his Nuvi 350 was a chore compared to the One. I almost took a few wrong turns myself... constantly had to read what's coming up next on the screen (it's TINY); It's dangerous and I'm sure the people driving behind us weren't very happy with the way we were driving.
Sorry for the run-ons, but if anyone is considering the Garmin Nuvi 350 over the TomTom One, I seriously hope that you try both before making your decision. I feel that the One is much easier to drive to, which to me is the point of having a GPS navigation unit. TomTom One certainly has some drawbacks to the 350, however given that the One can be found for hundreds cheaper, it's definitely the best buy. Two other friends have also purchased TomTom One's since.
Couldn't live without it, now. December 29, 2007
I gave this to my husband for a birthday present this past summer. I can't imagine how we ever traveled without it. I'm a avid map reader and excellent navigator, so I never saw the need for a GPS. I'm sold! We love to try out new routes around the busy traffic in Atlanta. I love being able to have an ETA. It's a fabulous product and a great price. My husband downloaded John Cleese's voice for the TomTom. It's so much more fun to hear him give directions than the factory voice.
Perfect! December 29, 2007
This was a gift for my husband....
He has used it for many trips...and has been more than pleased with the results. For the price---I couldn't be happier!

My wife has always had difficulty with knowing which way she's facing when coming out of a store or office. No, its not a 'girl' vs 'guy' thing...she just has trouble orienting herself. When she saw a friend with a TOM-TOM One she thought it was the greatest thing going. And when she's driving she has the same orientation difficulties. She received her Tom-Tom for Xmas and used it successfully within 2 days. It was easy to set up, easy and fun to use. And now she won't let me play with it. 'Nuff said?
TomTom Great December 27, 2007
Was very happy with the process of purchasing this item and the speedy delivery with which it was delivered. The navigation system itself is amazingly easy to use and transport. Love it!
