 TomTom ONE XL & Apple iPhone October 15, 2007
3 out of 9 found this review helpful
I just received my TomTom ONE XL today and in setting it up I have found that it will NOT connect via Bluetooth to my Apple iPhone. That's a big problem. Please TomTom get to the bottom of this issue and update the software so it will work for why I bought it.

Good unit for the price. On more than one occasion the unit could not find addresses so I used street intersection instead. Compared to the Nuvi 660, which I also use, it lacks text to speach and screen not as clear. Constant repetion of directions at every exit is very annoying.
I will still recommend it becuase it is $300 less than the above Nuvi 660.

Three major problems:
1. It does not recognize the street I live on - instead directing me to the street next to ours!
2. It sometimes chooses narrow roads with deadends or private roads!
3. It does not stay on dashboard well, often falling after a few minutes, especially when roads are a bit bumpy.
NOT recommended. Maybe all of these GPS navigation systems are similar.
 good unit, bad customer service October 6, 2007

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.
Don't be fooled by the other reviews - Like I Was! October 5, 2007

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.
