TomTom One

I bought my TomTom One UK edition a couple of years ago, based on it's compact size, reasonable battery life (a couple of hours off the charge) and simple, easy to use software. You can use the device right out of the box - just tap in the supplied Product code for your Map and you're away. However, you also get a software package called TomTom Home (for both Mac and PC, which is nice) that you can use to backup, update and customise your TomTom device. The software also allows you to buy new maps, voices and other bits for your TomTom using it's own online store (this is basically just a link to a glorified webpage, but it works very well).

I shall write this review as a regular user of the TomTom, I realise there are a number of reports on this bit of kit, but as a fan, I just want to not only defend it, but also add my own criticism. I would like to tell anyone considering buying one of these, you will be struggling to get a better one, although you can get cheaper. The TomTom is a doddle to set up & operate, and much has been written on this subject. My view is that the basic instructions and pictograms are ample, so anyone can use it. You can go for either typing in the address, or postcode, both get you where you want to be, you also have the choice of avoiding toll roads, or ...  Read the complete review

My best present ever is the Tomtom One. For those of you out there saying WHAT??!! It's a satellite navigation system ('sat nav' for short). It gets you from home to places and back home again without having to look at a map or an A-Z, of which I have about 12 lounging on the back seat of my car. I do a lot of travelling, mostly at night, when, in winter, it is almost impossible to see street signs. That's if you are lucky enough to be in a town where they haven't all been nicked or vandalised! This tends to add about another hour onto my journey because, if it's somewhere I am not familiar with, I have to keep stopping and re-reading the map. You don't need me to ...  Read the complete review

In my job I have to use my Tom Tom all over the country. It is one of the best purchases I have ever made for my job. At the time (over a year ago) some of my friends decided they would use their fancy PDAs to be their Sat Navs. But they constantly lost signals and we would miss turnings and would have to get road maps out or stop and wait for the signal to come back. This is why I decided to buy a separate bit of technology to get around the country and I love it. It has only crashed once and that's because I accidentally managed to knock the memory card out. But all I needed was a pin to reset it. It does really what it says on the tin, it ...  Read the complete review
