 good unit, bad customer service October 6, 2007
4 out of 9 found this review helpful
I never buy used electronics because I was customer service when something goes wrong. I should start with the actual unit description and say that I do use the unit and am impressed with its functionality. Very fast routing, almost never loose connection to sats. Overall, pleased with the unit. Could not for the life of me connect it via bluetooth to my cell phone for traffic stuff.
My beef with Tomtom is after approximately two months of having it the power cord went out. Contacted Amazon who said contact tomtom, who said return it or provide with upc on box, proof of purchase, and some other things I don't remember and they would replace cord if I paid for shipping. That tweeked me off enough that I won't buy again from tomtom. I just went to radio shack and replaced cord for thirty-five bucks myself, but very difficult to contact tomtom and then to get no support, too many other good alternatives for other gps units with support in my book.

If you want a basic simple road navigation device do not be fooled by the other reviews and do not buy a TOMTOM ONE or TOMTOM ONE XL. I chose to buy the TOMTOM ONE XL after reading the other reviews unfortunately they do not reveal two major flaws! First off - there is no way to control and lock the zoom in level while navigating. You can zoom out briefly but it will automatically zoom back in really close - it doesn't give me much advantage over what I see out my windshield. The second thing there is no way to make up to be north on the screen while navigating - it keeps rotating the map as you make turns (very irritating especially while driving in the mountains). I'm not sure how most people read maps, but I know I usually make north to be up.
I contacted TOMTOM on both these issues. First via email and was told that the touch screen had a problem (concerning the zooming in issue) and it needed to be returned for repair. I exchanged it with the retailer due to it being defective and got another one. The second ended up doing the same thing. I then contacted TOMTOM via the phone and was told the zooming in issue was normal as well as well as the orientation of the maps while navigating and the only way to have north being up and control of your zoom in level is to put it in "browse map" mode - but you loose your navigation functions if you do so.
I am very disappointed with this product and will probably give it away.
 TomTom One XL Rocks!! October 5, 2007

I travel to numerous cities in my work in aviation sales, and I bought this product in order to cut down on wasted time asking for directions, getting lost, missing exits, etc. The unit provides a time to destination featurs which allows me to call ahead and avise my next appointment when I'll be arriving as a courtesy.
The satellite acquisition time is not an issue if you do what the directions tell you and plug the unit into your computer to allow updated satellite positions to be downloaed via the internet.
The feature which enables the user to upload routes, preferences, etc through the computer keyboard makes programming a snap.
Like other users have noted, it would be nice to include text-to-speech as a download extra or as part of the basic package.
The wider screen of the XL unit makes programming through the unit and visibility a breeze.
Battery life before needing to recharge has not been an issue, so far.
Bottom line is that I'm quite happy with TomTom One XL and would recommend it to others.
TomTomOne - PoorPoor Zero October 2, 2007

Out of the box, TomTom One booted up and turned on ok. I found the user interface extremely non-intuitive. The driving map showed few street names and there is no-text to voice(street names not read out). The screen itself was very bright and easy to look at. The little round cursor control seemed to be so sensitive to the touch that it moved around by itself.
I did not buy this from Amazon, and when I got it at the store and keyed my home address for a routing, the first thing it tried to do is route me into an illegal turn. It also tried to get me over railroad tracks where there was no crossing. When I got home and unplugged my TomTom, the car battery charger plug was so HotHot I almost burned my hand.
I figured I needed to get used to the product and would drive around with it for a week or so before deciding whether or not to keep it or try another product. Today, I plugged in and tried to turn it on.
TomTom was DeadDead. Tried holding down the button, with power adapter
plugged in, and no power.
This is being returned ASAP. I read all the good reviews on this site
and made my purchase. I must have had a dud. Am trying another product.

I order this for myself after traveling through Europe with a Belgian friend. The TomTom was so accuate and easy to use...a huge display and clean/clear directions. I've used other products and liked this one far better. After my trip in Europe, I ordered one for myself in the States and it works like a charm.
