Digital camera reviews of TomTom ONE Portable GPS Vehicle Navigator
Digital camera Review: BEST GPS
Summary: 5 Stars
Probably the best bang for your buck if you donot have a gps in your car when you buy it. Hands down from voice help, to controls, to easy to understand, to the nice touch screen, this tom tom is great...Digital camera Review: Bad Maps, Crazy Routing, Poor Battery Life, Clunky Interface
Summary: 2 Stars
Everything is relative. If you have never used a GPS before, or you work for TomTom, then the TomTom One is the top of the mark. If however, you have used GPS units from other manufacturers, the TomTom One is far off the mark. The problem, in my opinion, is the maps.
The TomTom's use inexpensive maps from a European company called Tele Atlas. Garmin, Magellan and just about every single built-in navigation system sold in the USA use maps from the US based NavTech. Ultmately, having accurate maps and points of interests is the most important thing for a gps unit. In order for a gps unit to calculate a route properly, it must have the attributes (one way, speed limits, stop lights, etc) for all the roads in the country. In my experience, the NavTech maps are just better. If they weren't, why would everyone except TomTom use them?
In addition, the interface is a bit cumbersome compared to the best from others and the battery life is not very good. Finally, if you do have any problems, and you will, TomTom customer support is considered the worst in the industry.
In GPS units as in everything else, you get what you pay for.
Digital camera Review: Basic and Reliable
Summary: 4 Stars
This is my first navigation system. It is very easy to use. Has been fairly accurate, but doesn't always pick the route that I feel is best. We used it for an extended family trip earlier this month and was very helpful.Digital camera Review: Beat the drums for Tom Tom
Summary: 5 Stars
The product does all it claimed to do. I use this product in a 16 wheel over-the-road vehicle and more than once it has helped me find my way.Digital camera Review: Believe the commercial . . .
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great basic no-nonsense GPS that works right out of the box, takes a minute or so to connect when turned on, but updates directions quickly when you go "off course." Works just as well as my wife's Acura Navi unit. Battery lasts ~ 2hours and need to use car adapter. I recharge the unit overnight using computer USB. Nice sleek New Edition form fits well in the car and easily beats out the Garmin 320/330. You can download multiple voices. My purchase last week included a free 2006 DVD map update that you can order online and I received it in 5 days. I chose this over the Garmin 320/330 and would highly recommend you do the same.
