Digital camera reviews of TomTom ONE 3rd Edition 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Vehicle Navigator
Digital camera Review: BEST VALUE for Money GPS.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you buy this GPS any less than 150 than you have made a steal. This is a no non-sense, robust & solid performance GPS. I was looking for a GPS, which does it's job and does it well for a price which is justified. TomTom 3rd edition is certainly one of those. The GARMIN's of the world may also do the same job but at a needlessly high price. It does all what we want
1.) Great Signals in minutes - Even in New York City areas.
2.) The thing that I like most about this GPS is that it tells you after how much distance is your next action going to come. E.g. 350 yards for next right turn and in big letters & symbol distinctly on the screen. This helps you just if you forgot what the GPS last said or you were in a conversation with a partner when it mentioned you last.
3.) It tells you the time by when you will reach your destination which gets adjusted by your speed. This is especially helpful if you are driving long distances and want to be at a place before some deadline.
4.) It is really slim to put it in your shirt pocket unlike some other bulky GPS's. Allows easy removal & storage in the car cabinet when not in use.
5.) One good thing it does is that, instead of saying 'Turn right on Main St' it tells you 'Take the 2nd right'. Though it would have been good if it just displayed the next turn i.e 'Main St' on the screen. The good thing is that you do not have to look for street names at intersections and allows you to concentrate on the road ahead.
Overall anything less than $150 is a steal for this GPS & < $175 a good bargain.

Summary: 2 Stars
My wife was very excited to get the TomTom One for Christmas. She often has to drive into the far suburbs of Chicagoland where she's never been before. We hooked it up to the computer and got the John Cleese voice.
It's very easy to use, but I wish you could preview the next instructions after you get into the navigation mode. The directions are often horrible. Instead of making a left turn, it often asks us to turn right onto a busy thoroughfare and make a U-turn. Again, if we could look a few steps ahead we could see that we should turn left instead of right + a U-turn. But you can't check ahead after your start driving.
At a fork in the highway system, it's told us to get onto the wrong highway, get off, drive 12 blocks through residential streets, then get back onto the correct highway a mile after the fork. It does this every time I navigate to my Mom's neighborhood.
I use it mainly for locating where I am, so I don't have to look for street signs. If we really need directions we use the Verizon Navigator on our cell phones. It's mostly right, and you can peek ahead to see what the next steps are.
Digital camera Review: Bad out of the box
Summary: 3 Stars
I turn it ON and it work, It look nice and classy, I used it for an hour, I turned it off and went to do some shopping and return back and turn it ON and I got a white screen, it freezes, I researched the issue on the internet and looks the problem is all over the place with this model.
I am returning the item today.
However, with the one hour usage I have, I loved it, it is easy to work with and I wished it is not defective.
Digital camera Review: Bargain
Summary: 4 Stars
This GPS finds your position fast, and calculates the next turn quickly. I did have some trouble when I tried to download the updates from the web site - If I didn't know anything about computers I would not have been able to fix the problem. Also, the voice does NOT call out the STREET NAME for the next turn. Place the unit where you can read the street names and you should be OK. It doesn't show the destination address on the screen (at least I haven't figured out how to make it do that yet), and I sometimes would like to see that to make sure of where I'm heading. Over all it's a good bargain. For my next one I will probably spend a little more money and get one that calls an audible street name for the turns.
