Good Product With WeaknessesAugust 18, 2008 I've had a TomTom ONE 3rd Edition for about 2 months now & overall it's a fairly easy product to use & does navigate well. It's not unusual for it to say that you've arrived at your destination a half block away from the actual destination as there are quite a few map errors. Also, it does tend to route you via Interstate highways even if a different highway is more direct & much faster. There is a map correction feature that does take some getting used to as it's not overly intuitive. Probably the most annoying feature is that the unit has to be plugged into your computer's USB port when it's not being used or the battery will go completely dead within a week's time. I contacted tech support on this issue & was advised that this is normal. Other brands do not have this problem. The battery life is pretty good at about 2-2.5 hours. The navigation is pretty accurate & the map corrections are a real bonus. There is a lot of free content that you can download (voices, sounds, color schemes, etc.) to really personalize the unit. Overall it's a good unit--I bought it because it was listed in Consumer Reports as one of the best basic units for the money--but given the negatives I've observed I think I would probably go for a Garmin if I had it to do over again.
Pleased with purchase.August 18, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I received a 4.2" TomTom One for Father's Day based upon my son's extensive research into GPS units and this purchase was for my college age daughter for her birthday. It seems to be basically the same as my unit but has smaller screen and cost $100 less. Seems like a good buy. About the only complaint I have is that they won't save alternate routes to the "favorite" list.
TomTom 1 DisappointmentAugust 17, 2008 I used my new TomTom 1 for the first time on a 3,000 miles trip here in the USA. Right away, the thing kept falling off the dash base. I did not attach it to the windshield as I would be travelling through States where that is illegal. I'm not convinced it would have stayed on the windshield any better. After about 20 times of falling off, I finally just placed it in the ashtray and it seemed to get the signals just fine from there. Secondly, and probably most important, it tells you that you will be turning right or left at 1/2 mile & 1/4 mile ahead, BUT, IT DOES NOT TELL YOU THE NAME OF THE STREET TO TURN ON. The system worked OK other than these 2 annoyances. HINT: If it won't turn on in your car, check to be sure the charging adaptor is fully engaged in the cigarette lighter. I was at my wits end by the time I figured this out!
great unit terrible battery!August 16, 2008 This is probably the best GPS I have owned yet but the battery is worthless
good but wantingAugust 16, 2008 This product is very user friendly and easy to operate.But I wish that the voice naration gives the name of the road when turns are indicated. The maps need updating. Some new major roads or or newly constructed potions are not there. e.g. rout 99 and 22 in PA

The system is specially tuned to deliver a natural sound field that takes the focus off the subwoofer while supplementing mid range and lower frequencies.
