tom tom one xl November 11, 2008
Excellent product! I don't know how I found my way before I bought it...good price and nice features.
 This GPS is better than a bag of diamonds November 6, 2008
Fantastic! Customizable! Never get lost again! What are you waiting for???
I have tried both the 4.3 inch and a 3.5 inch TomTom (called XL and version 3 respectively)
I paid $150 for the small TomTom and am ecstatic with it.
You can download software off the TomTom website to update your maps and add POI (points of interest) - I downloaded all the lighthouses as I am on the East coast and like to photograph them, but you can add whatever you like, stores, strip clubs, churches, state and national parks, whatever you are into they have the locations all to download on their website.
Fantastic!
I give the TomTom an A+
Good Unit for the price November 1, 2008

This is my 2nd Tom Tom and I love the bigger screen. The larger screen allows the icons to be seen at a greater distance and allows for easy navigation between screens. Tom Tom added a SD Slot with this unit but only allows you to use either the SD card or the main unit memory when attached to the computer for file transfers. This unit should also have MP3 capabilities built in and lacks that function. Tom Tom web site does have Free voices and sounds but Tom Tom also charges for every little extra features such as red light info, traffic updates, etc.
 Battery life is a problem October 31, 2008

I purchased a One XL not quite a year ago. With the exception of the battery, it's great!
I use it several times a week and for the last couple of months, it's been hard to maintain a charge. It's at the point now where it won't power up at all and from what I've read, this unit has battery issues.
I have no idea how pervasive battery issues are with this particular unit or TomTom in general but it seems to me that I've not used it more than average and for the battery to die after 9 months, is a problem. I am planning on purchasing a replacement battery but based on this expereince, I would hesitate to purcahse another TomTom unit.
Even the GPS challenged should get one... October 30, 2008

Tired of discovering I had either an out-of-date map or not having the map I need, I looked into Magellan, Garmin, and TomTom. After using each, the TomTom seemed the easiest to use (a big plus since the rest of my family is tech-challenged...). The wide screen is really nice, and it finds everything I can throw at it.
Two observations:
1. My street runs N/S. Most of where I go is S, but the unit seems to always want me to go N and loop around the block. I 'fixed' it by creating a 'avoid this', but still...and this was not unique to TomTom.
2. There needs to be a way to tell the unit 'I'm taking a break'--if you pull off to get gas, hit the bathroom or mini-mart, it starts 'correcting' you....need a 'pause/resume trip' option.
My wife has taken it to TN with her, and has commented that it's been nice to have as she is off on side roads, etc. Her only complaint (other than #2 above) is that the 'remaining distance/time' doesn't update very often....
Be aware that GPS takes a lot of power--the 2hr battery life has been a bit over 3h for me, but I do use the power saving features...so don't forget your charger/adapter.
I haven't used the TomTom Home application yet...so I can't comment on it.
