I've had my TomTom One for years. Can't remember when i got it, but it was back when Sat navs hadn't been out all that long. I think it was about 4 years ago but could be slightly longer.

Since they were more rare sort of, there wasn't any aftermarket cheaper brands, It was all about Garmin's and TomToms, the brand named ones. I paid £250 for this. I didn't really need one to be honest. Looking back I was just trying to be a poser and being male and into gadgets I got one. I have to say it has come in handy over the years, but perhaps not £250 handy!

My one looks different to the Dooyoo picture. Mines is a black screen one, but the picture on it looks the same.

There is only 1 button on mine on the top and that's the power button. Hold the button in to put it on or off.

You can use this wired or wirelessly. you just plug it into your lighter socket in the Car and that's it charging and able to use this way, it can work when not plugged it, but the battery life isn't great. This could be because mines is getting old and battery may not be as good as it used to be.

This sits on a bracket on my windscreen. This makes t easy for me to glace at it now and again, but the spoken word from it will still get you where you need to be.

You access the menu's by touching the screen. This will give a few options. I always have my Home Address stored in this, and if you are anywhere and don't want to mess about with directions then clicking "navigate to home", will give you the directions straight to the house. You can search for directions with address or names of buildings, but I usually put the postcode in, it will come up the street name, I click on the number and it will show me the route.

On the screen it will tell you how far the distance is, and other useful information. It seems to look a bit ahead of the journey and points out Roundabouts and that.

The spoken voice on this is alright. It will come up saying things like "In 400 Yards turn right". The Wife isn't that great with yards and that, but if you glance at the screen then it shows you as well by a coloured arrow, so if you are coming up to a turn and you see the arrow turning then that is your turn.

Takes all the thought out of directions, and you can now pick these up a bit cheaper theseday. I wouldn't be without mine.
