TOMTOM ONE 3rd Edition Automobile Navigator - 1N01.081
TomTom ONE 3rd Edition - Portable GPS System w/ Preloaded Maps

We have found the TomTom One to be extremely easy to use. The price is right and it is acurate as far as we have been using it. It doesn't have a lot of advanced features like some of the more expensive ones, but if you're looking for a good GPS unit to get you from point A to B, then this is a perfect one that won't break your bank account.

Very easy to use, right out of the box. Accurate and who wants street names, yuch! How many times have you looked for a street and found that the signs had been ripped down, stolen, painted over, etc. I would much rather have the GPS tell me when to turn. And TomTom gives you alot of warning before turns to change lanes.

The unit I purchased worked fine for a couple of days, but then started having problems powering up. Sometimes it would hang on the TomTom splash screen. Sometimes there was just a blank screen and you couldn't tell if anything was happening. Using a paperclip on the manual reset button only worked sometimes. I finally had to return this unit to Buy.com When the unit was operational it was OK, but there several areas in which Garmin is superior. TomTom says: Exit right in 2 miles. Garmin says In 2 miles exit right. TomTom doesn't automatically power down when disconnected from power source. Garmin gives you a 30 sec count down timer. TomTom doesn't automatically switch to night mode screen. Garmin does. If you miss a turn, Garmin says "Recalculating". TomTom says nothing. Garmin also has easier to read graphics than the TomTom. I bought the Garmin GPS for my wife 2 years ago. She loves it and has had zero problems with it. I bought the TomTom, and within a few days it crapped out. What a piece of junk.

TomTom is, in my opinion, the best GPS you can get. The software is amazing, the maps are great and the options are fantastic. I even use it on my daily commute to get around traffic jams, if I hear something is backed up, or if I get caught in traffic, I just hit alternate route, and it gives you a whole group of options on how you want it to calculate the alternate route. Fantastic, you will wonder how you lived without it.

This is now the 3rd TomTom I've bought, 2 for company use, and the last for personal use. The higher end models have better accuracy and more features, but if you just want something to tell you how to get somewhere, and show points of interest along the way (gas, food, etc..), it's hard to do better. The fact that maps for other countries can be used by simply putting in a SD card with the map on it is a plus too. Consumer reports rated this the highest of it's "budget" test group, which is why I bought the first one for company use. I've not been sorry yet.

I didn't need a GPS that has fancy traffic redirection, even though this one does have that feature as an option. What I really liked was right out of the box, I could hook it up and get the latest map updates from online. The unit loaded software onto my computer, which then updated itself and got the latest maps and software. Very helpful. I live in an area that is growing rapidly, so having the latest maps will be handy. Easy to operate, too. Tony

Excellent gps system. Very accurate maps, easy to use, and very durable. There are tons of POI"s. The mapping is so detailed that it was able to locate a drive way that I just installed. Highly recommend this product.

I had 3 or 4 different TomTom GPS devises including this one. All come with decent interface and quite accurate. I have 2 concerns though. First is not a big problem but sometimes is annoying especially with TomTom ONE. It looks like the software is slow and in a complex road doesn’t tell on time when you have to make a turn. On a few occasions I passed my turn because the map showed that I didn’t reach it yet. The second problem is really with the suction cap – it just doesn’t hold. Only the first (I don’t remember which model) had a decent suction. Neither Garmin, not Magellan have this problem. It’s a pitty I had to switch to Garmin for that reason! Thus my 3 for overall satisfaction.

The ONE 3rd Edition is a great entry level GPS. It doesn't have all the fancy gadgets, but it's perfect for getting you from point A to B. The maps are very accurate and up to date, and the device itself is very easy to navigate. The voice commands are spot on and make it easy to navigate without always looking at the screen. It also has TomTom's new Map Share and Help Me features. I would definitely recommend this device to someone looking for an affordable GPS.

I like the interface of the TomTom One, but I was disappointed in the quality of the map data and navigation available with version 2.0. On several occasions TomTom has failed to recognize a short segment of fully navigable street and instead has directed me to make ridiculous detours; for instance, telling me to make a right turn and then a U-turn followed by another right turn, instead of simply instructing me to proceed across an intersection. This type of mistake is rare but does undermine one's trust in the device. So it's good that at least this new version provides editing capabilities.

I bought my TomTom just before going to Virginia for a week. By the time I got back home I was convinced that I made a smart move. On my way home it showed me how to get out of the Washington DC area without having to take the dreaded beltway. The TomTom gives you verbal turn by turn directions with four voices to choose from. You can find nearby stores, restaurants and gas stations while you are driving. The setup was easy and once the unit was fully charged, it was operational in a matter of minutes. I don't know if my TomTom is a third generation version or not. I've had it about 2 months now and I find myself using it whenever possible. If you travel fairly often or have recently moved I highly recommend the purchase. I purchased it as a reconditioned item for $149 from this site. I have not had any problems with the unit.

This is a great device with the latest features from TomTom, including "Map Share" and "Help Me." The device is very accurate and has the latest Tele Atlas maps pre-loaded. The user interface is very easy to navigate and inputting directions is very easy. I would definitely recommend this device to a friend.
