Digital camera reviews of TomTom ONE XL 4.3-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator
Digital camera Review: A Man's got to know his GPS's limitations
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros: This unit acquires and keeps satellite signals. Its display is clear in bright sunlight. The built in voice is clear and audible with with music on and windows up. The night map colors & brightness are easy on the eyes.
Cons: It has given erroneous directions multiple times. It figures out decent routes. The problem occurs in implementation. It will tell you to bear left when the exit is on the right on a Interstate junction. On U.S.24 (Telegraph Rd.)it will tell you to turn right when you need to perform an median turnaround. In both cases the directions it suggested were the way you eventually wanted to get, however it doesn't take into account what you need to stay on pavement and keep it legal.
Backround: I have "Microsoft Streets and trips 2006" for my laptop.
It is much more accurate in implementation of performing routes. Ive used it much longer and its only made one mistake that I remember. However you practically need another person to operate it. It isn't nearly as easy to use while driving.
Suggestion: for $150 I think it was worth it. I would not have been happy to pay more.
Digital camera Review: A WAIST OF TIME AND MONNEY
Summary: 1 Stars
It barely worked for 1 month, and then turned to a nightmare. The whole unit ended on the side of the Florida turnpike.
Stay away from it!!!
Digital camera Review: A good GPS

Have not had the tomtom one xl long but works great all but the cell phone connection is not compatible with verizon wireless bluetooth.Digital camera Review: A useless product from a useless company with a useless website
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this as a gift for my in-laws. It was later given back to me because they just couldn't figure out how to get it to work properly. First of all, it thought they were in Guam (we live in Pennsylvania). After 3 hours of fussing with it, I finally got it to load the correct map. After that, there was ZERO GPS reception, even outside with a clear sky and 10 minutes of allowing it to sit. Called TomTom's tech support. Waited on hold for 30 minutes before being HUNG UP ON because their lines had closed during the time I was on hold (what kind of CS is that?). That was at 7pm EST, folks - so good luck if you're in PST and have a job.
What's worse is that this thing absolutely, positively must be attached to a computer of some sort to get it to function properly or make any moderate settings changes. Forget about taking it out of the box and having it work right off the bat like my Magellan did.
Also, I'm guessing that it must have a clear view of the sky at all times. My Magellan worked flawlessly for the first time indoors, within 10 feet of a window.
I would not buy a TomTom product again, under any circumstance. This product, the company that sells it and their website are the WORST I have EVER seen.
Digital camera Review: ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!
Summary: 5 Stars
I OWN SEVERAL GPS UNITS BOTH FOR MY CAR AND BOAT. I HAVE BOUGHT MOSTLY GARMINS INCLUDING THE LATEST GARMIN NUVI 660 BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT THIS TOMTOM UNIT IS SUPERIOR IN EVERY WAY. ALL THE INFORMATION IS RIGHT THERE ON THE NAV PAGE AND A DREAM TO USE. IT IS THE BEST PERIOD! BUY IT.
