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).

My Husband and I came to driving relatively late in life, my Husband only passing his test when he hit thirty. For many years driving was an adventure for us. I would plot out where we were going using the latest AA map book, pencilling the route carefully and giving a rough estimate of when we would arrive. We would then set off and I would give instructions as to where to turn, what turning on the roundabout to take, when the next exit was so on and so forth. It all sounds quite serene and organized, occasionally it was. The vast majority of these journey would turn a bit sour with me yelling it was that exit as we drove past it, or the map only shows four roundabout ..  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

Our TomTom One Classic is nearly 3 years old and was brought from Tesco a matter of days before its first use which had been to locate the Travelodge that we had booked close to the M4 near Heathrow for an overnight stay prior to the funeral of one of my wife's uncles that was only a short distance from the hotel. My previous satnav had met its maker less than a year before that and I had some amusing tales including driving into Cornwall along what the satnav had considered open fields and the more amusing idea that there was an M7 linking Plymouth directly with Coventry..... I'm not sure what the highways people would think of that - perhaps I had my own ...  Read the complete review

TomTom One INTRODUCTION I have a number of SatNavs which I use on a fairly regular basis, but unfortunately this is probably my least favourite. It's quite a basic unit, with a number of nice features but unfortunately there are a few technical issues that I have experienced. DESIGN OF UNIT This is considered to be a smaller SatNav which is fitted with a 3.5 inch touchscreen display. To be honest this is one of the first caveats of the product because it is quite unresponsive and not very sensitive. It can be quite hard to get it to register what you are trying to input into the unit. It does, however feel very sturdy while ...  Read the complete review
