 Totally Spoiled January 4, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I'm a road warrior. I make my living on the street. The Tom-Tom replaces crates of Thomas Brothers maps for me.
When I travel Tom-Tom goes with me to the city (cities) I'm flying in to. I wish the suction cup mount was easy to dis-assemble as its a little clumsy to pack.
I use it all the time even when going places I know how to get to. Its ETA is invaluable when giving a heads up to someone I need to meet as to when I'll actually arrive.
With it untethered the internal battery makes it pocketable for walking in a city and trying to find local eating and shopping establishments.
TomTom ONE Portable GPS January 3, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Got it as a gift to my wife, as she drives around a lot. Wanted it to be easy to use (she is not comfortable with technology), portable, and not too expensive in case she did not use it. Success on all counts. She uses it for everything and can set up most routes within seconds,...seconds. My wife? Wow.
What Fun December 22, 2006

I recently purchased the TomTom One based on user reviews stating that this unit was easy to use, right out of the box. As it was meant to be a gift for my directionally challenged hubby, this feature was most important to me. As promised, there was really no assembly required and we put it in the car last Saturday morning for a test run. Imagine our suprise when the touchscreen announced that we needed to retrieve an online activation code. It really wasn't difficult to do, but it did require going back into the house, and upstairs to the pc in order to retrieve our code. Perhaps the instructions should have indicated that this would be necessary. Other than that, the unit delivered as promised. I agree with the other reviewers that it might be nice to have street names announced. Then again, we live in New England and many streets don't have signs posted so it really doesn't matter.
 BlueTooth Inclusion is Misleading December 19, 2006
9 out of 11 found this review helpful
The TomTom One is a truly fantastic device with only a couple of flaws. The first and most glaring of the problems I found with this device is that the marketing department forgot to mention that the inclusion of BlueTooth is only for data collection for certain additional services. Services that cost both a subscription fee and data resources through your cellular provider. It does not include the ability to use your cell phone through the BlueTooth connection. I am truly puzzled why any company would put the hardware in a device and fail to extend the full capabilities of said technology to the consumer.
The other problem is that within California it is illegal to mount a devices like the TomTom One to your windshield but there is no means provided for mounting it in any other way. This is despite the fact that this product was purchased in a California market. This simply strikes me as completely irresponsible. It was clear to me that TomTom knows the suction cup mounting system will not work on a dashboard because they are offering other mounting systems through their web site. For an additional expenditure, of course.
I was quite pleased with how easy the system was to operate. I was only irritated that a, "back," button wasn't programmed into every page. Such a tiny detail would substantially increase the usability of the TomTom One. The advanced features are pretty good, but these too, could use a little polish to really shine. Portability was also a major feature but this feature is also flawed because it doesn't come with a case.
All in all I am pleased with the function and performance of the device while only slightly disappointed that the marketing on the box was misleading. Rerouting was fast and accurate enough to work. In new development areas it was sometimes grossly inna I did take the unit back that I had purchased and decided to continue using an old fashioned map book. The flaws, the price, and the perception that fundamental features were left out gave me the fuel to reconsider the purchase. I personally recommend that you consider the TomTom GO 510, or the TomTom GO 910 if you are looking at the One as a navigation solution. The cellular connectivity is really worth the difference in price if you are BlueTooth capable.
Wonderful for directionally impaired December 19, 2006

I've been using my TomTom One for about 2 months, and now I'm totally spoiled. I use it all the time, even when I know exactly where I'm going. It's easy to navigate and easy to program and store information. The only gripe I have is that there's a certain way to find points of interest by name, and every time I run across it it's totally by accident and I can never remember how to get back to that feature. Maybe I just need more practice. Anyway, I'm extremely impressed with the TomTom One, especially for it being my very first NAV system.
