 Great GPS. Lousy Maps. November 29, 2006
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
5 stars for the GPS unit but 2 stars for the maps. I really liked this device...the size, shape, display, and features. Everything worked very well. It was very easy to setup and use right out of the box. But I had to return it. The maps were terrible. High rate of errors for me and it couldn't find half of the places that I was looking for. I wanted to use for VA, MD, DC, and OH areas. Obviously this is a budget GPS system but for the price I expected either more accurate maps or free updates. I went with a Garmin unit instead. It has none of the map issues this unit does. It uses a different set of maps form a different company. I have heard TomTom is going to change over to the same company that Garmin uses.
 Easy to program and use! November 29, 2006
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
I have used many different car navigation systems and most are difficult to program. The systems I have used are the BMW, Lexus, and Cadillac systems. These are so difficult to use that its seldom worth it to go through the hassle to program them. The TOM TOM One is super simple to program. I managed to quickly set up the unit and learn to program routes in it without reading the manual at all.
But don't think the Tom Tom is so simple that it lacks many features and options. I have found the Tom Tom to be a very full featured GPS unit and I believe that it has the capabilities of almost any model on the market. However, due to the ease of use, you'll actually be able to employ these features. Tom Tom has made the GPS system easy enough for everyone to use.
Better Documentation Needed! November 10, 2006

I love my TomTom One. It is a great value for the money and I recommend it highly. There are some things you have to get used to. Tom doesn't measure feet well, but it is fine for miles. Ex: You may be told to make a right turn in 150 ft, but it may be only 25 ft. to the turn. Also, the documentation is poor. The battery can be charged by connecting to your computer, a wonderful feature that you are not told about. Instead, it is suggested that you buy a cable to connect to your house electricity.After I bought it, not only did I not need it but you can't even use it on this version of TomTom.
Pretty Good October 7, 2006

I just took this unit on a 5000 mile road trip from Chicago to San Antonio, to Phoenix and back. The unit was worth the price, especially for finding routes off the interstate system.
The GPS was almost always very precise. Sometimes it would suddenly place me a couple hundred feet away and give me instructions for getting back to where I already was. The voice directions used the word "yards" when it should have said "feet". The POI database was often incorrect. It would tell me that I had reached my destination when it had actually put me in the middle of nowhere. Gas stations would turn out to be closed down and new ones wouldn't show up. In some areas, POIs are about a half mile off.
The PC software did not work with the device, so I could not set-up itineraries in advance of the trip. When I returned home, I saw that the program update was available, which included the fix. Now, if only the POI database were updated and the units fixed in the dialogue, the product would rate 5 stars.
 waste of money October 4, 2006

Looks nice but i had to return it because of constant glitches. Instead, I got a Garmin Nuvi which costs more but is well worth the money. You get what you pay for!
