 Bad maps June 5, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I purchased a TOM TOM One XL in November 2007. When I got it, set it up and downloaded the map update, our street was not on it. We have lived here for over 18 years and the road is one block off of an interstate in GA. While I use this unit in my Mobile Service Business, I have been sent down dead end roads as well as been told to turn right 4 times in a row and the told to turn left. This was at a major US highway intersection in Milledgeville GA. The route was taking me 1 mile to the next right turn, then 1 block / turn, then 1 block/ turn, then 1 block, then turn left, which took me right back to where I started the was told to continue straight to my destination. With the price of fuel these days, I need a more reliable unit to take me down the road.
Called Tom Tom and when I asked about the lack of current maps, I was told I could purchase a new map for each of my units (Now Two) At 79.95 each, I told the operator no thanks and I would try another GPS from another Mfg. Having recommended TOM TOM units to several customers, I now have some explaining to do. The only thing the Tom Tom Operator kept saying was "I'm sorry you feel that way" Sorry doesn't make it when now I'm out the price of two of these units.
Should have done my homework before I bought.....
 TomTom review June 3, 2008

Nice product. I wish there was a mechanical attachment. The vacuum or suction cup only stays attached for about 15 minutes.
This US model has worked great for me in Europe May 31, 2008

NOTE: I bought this in the States, didn't open it until I arrived in Germany, and it has only been used in Europe.
I work in Germany and wanted to get a GPS to get around without spending too much on a GPS. Obviously GPS systems with only US maps are cheaper than any dual US/Europe GPS, so I researched different brands and models that were compatible with online map upgrades. I found a great pick with the TomTom One XL. I bought the system when on sale for $200, and I bought the "Western Europe" map upgrade online for $120 (thru TomTom home). There is not enough internal memory, so I put the new map on a SD card. I had a few issues after purchase and download of the Europe map, but customer service was great (no waiting on the phone, and they stayed on with me until the issue was fixed).
OK, so the new map wasn't as simple as "plug-n-play," but after 30 minutes on the phone with U.S. customer service troubleshooting my problem, I ran a flash file on my XL, I turned on the system, and after 45 seconds of searching for sattelites, the GPS was tracking my location in Germany.
The interface is adequate, with large buttons on the 4.3" screen that make it easy to choose. The tracking of my location has pin-point accuracy, and when I turn on the system, it takes less than 60 seconds to locate my position. My mount is solid, and I have excellent reception without any tacky antennas. POIs are slacking, but I'm just trying to get from point A to point B. I'm a basic user.
Overall, I'm very pleased with this US/Canada/W Europe GPS for only $320 total. It has been a great convenience getting around city and rural Europe, especially since road signs and names can be confusing here.
tomtom failed so did Best Buy May 28, 2008

This unit failed miserably on the first try out...We live in Henderson, NV, just outside las Vegas...our first itinerary was to Bolder City center about 15 miles away...the itinerary was supposed to take us from hwy 95 to hwy 93, but instead it directed us south on 95 towards Searchlight forty miles away...we of course stayed on the highway which becomes hwy 93...once we passed the instructed turn off, we expected to be warned of a route recalculation, but none came...as we approached Bolder City we were directed to make a right hand turn which I assume was to take us back to hwy 95...the right turn was into a trailer park...I took the unit back to Best Buy and ended up paying a 15% restocking fee which Best Buy is quick to tell you is explained on the back of your receipt...the receipt you received after you purchased the unit...I smell a class action suit coming and I will be first in line...By the way, the reason we did not get a recalculation warning is because the unit does not have automatic recalculation...how pathetic is that... Update to review...after an email complaint to Best buy, I was contacted by Best Buy and refunded the restock fee which I appreciate...regarding the moron comment, this was not my first GPS...I know the route recalculation command and did not receive one...when I returned it to Best Buy I was told that model did not have that feature...
Great navigation unit! May 27, 2008
I got it for my wife to be simple and useful as much as possible! It works great! No complains at all. TomTom software and speech commands are awesome. Go for it, you wont be sorry!
