Even though the ONE, 3rd Edition is TomTom's entry-level portable GPS vehicle navigation device, it remains a complete solution with an incredible range of features.

Tiny, but Tough
A sleek design and a sharp display combine to make the TomTom ONE a vital companion on the road. THe ONE, 3rd edition comes pre-loaded with complete maps for the United States and Canada.

Weighing less than 10 ounces and measuring 4.33 x 3.5 x 1.34 inches, the TomTom ONE can be easily installed in any vehicle. An included windshield suction mount holds it in place. Plus, with an operating temperature range of an icy -10 degrees to a sweltering 55 degrees Celsius (14 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit), the navigator is durable enough for New England winters or Arizona summers. The TomTom ONE is powered by an internal lithium ion battery that can be charged from your vehicle's cigarette lighter with the included 12-24V adapter.

Easy To Use
The user-friendly design also puts it a step above other navigation systems. The crystal-clear multicolor display makes for exceptionally easy viewing of maps, routes, driving directions, and other traveling information, such as mileage and distance. Measuring 3.5 inches, the TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 240 to provide brilliant two- and three-dimensional graphics. The device also features 32 MB RAM and 380 MHz CPU, making it responsive and zippy. Using the USB port and the provided cable, you can use your PC to add your own points of interest.

With its touch-sensitive screen, the TomTom ONE puts programming and operation literally at your fingertips to make sophisticated technology simple. The built-in database offers millions of points of interest for you to use as destinations or reference points as you plan your trip. ONE will also provide a selection of available routes, giving you the option of avoiding toll roads or choosing between the quickest or the most scenic routes. The database includes zip codes to simplify your route selection, and for extra convenience, the TomTom ONE lets you save the addresses of frequent destinations, making route planning easier and faster than ever. Other display features include a compass mode to assist you with directional orientation, and an anti-glare screen for optimal viewing even in direct sunlight.

You Can Hear Me Now
ONE provides clear and accurate turn-by-turn voice instructions, so that you don't have to take your eyes off the road while your vehicle is on the move. Voice instructions are available in over 30 languages. Tom Tom even has comedy and celebrity voices available, some for free, and others for purchase via download at TomTom's website. One nifty feature is speed-sensitive volume. With this optional feature turned on, your vehicle's engine becomes louder or quieter as your speed changes, the volume adjusts itself accordingly, guaranteeing clear and easy listening.

TomTom ONE 3rd Edition 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Vehicle Navigator Reviews

Yesterday the little guy locked up and despite trying to use the reset button and even letting the battery fully discharge it is stuck on the intial TOmTom screen everytime it powers up. Often the recalculated routes would take you far out of your way and miss the obvious choices (like main highways leading directly to your destination). Even at just over $100 dollars per unit I have an expectation it will last more then 50 power up cycles. When we did use it the maps were easy to follow and it would get us to where we needed to go but the routes were not always the most direct and even when I would have thought the next obvious route would have been the second choice when hitting the recalculate route button, that was not the case. So even if you were to discount my one star rating as coming from a disgruntled owner of a bad unit, I would have given this unit only 3 stars if it were still working.

I have an entry level Garmin and like that a little more. Well someone has to get the bad units and judging by all the refurbished units on the market I would guess these have a higher then normal failure rate. I purchased ours a little over a year ago and we haven't it used much. It has probably been powered on less then 50 times total.

So when our daughter wanted a GPS unit, we elected to get the Tom Tom One 3rd edition for her as a Christmas gift. We had purchased a Tom Tom One GPS unit for ourselves a year ago and have been reasonably happy with it.

she loves it. excellent product, bought as gift for daughter who's always on the road.

If you are wanting to return to your home, you need simply press 2-3 buttons on the screen. My wife and I just got home with this device, and we are amazed. It locks onto a GPS signal almost instantly. When you first turn the unit on it asks you to set your home address and choose your settings.

The settings allow you to customize the screen to show what you want to see such as a compass, points of interest, remaining time and remaining distance. A cheaper version that my father received for Christmas took him an hour to figure out. The screen is extremely visible with vibrant colors and great brightness.

We feel this will greatly simplify and enhance our travel experiences. The menu is ran completely with the touch screen and my wife and I can both use it with ease. As much as I love this device, I caution anyone to be aware that this device will meet all of travel needs. So far I have found that you can only plan one point of interest in a trip and I have found some of my favorite stores, mostly small or specialty businesses, that are not included with the points of interests. If you want to visit multiple locations on a trip, you may still need to make a list of addresses you want to visit. To get to a point from your current location, simply add a few steps by entering an address or choosing a point of interest. Since I don't trust the device's list of points of interest to be as comprehensive as I would like, I will definitely google things I want to do in an area.

FUNCTIONALITY If you have a favorite store, friend, family or other location, you can easily add the location to your favorites with a name of your choosing and that makes sense to you. If you are already a GPS user, you may want something fancier. It also cannot play mp3s, display photos, or anything else that is fancy. For basic or beginning users, purchase this unit. However, it will be very nice now to locate gas stations or restaraunts that are near our hotel or along our route.

As a hater of driving in big cities, I also think we will be more adventerous and willing to venture into large metro areas. Setting a route to a destination is simple. Allow me to espouse the great things about this device. The voice prompt is loud and easy to hear.

Browsing a map is not easy, so I will probably still print and study Mapquest maps of any area at which I will be staying. You can even set the volume to increase as your driving speed increases. SIMPLICITY The Tom Tom One had the easist to use navigation menu of any device I looked at. If you have ever added a Internet site to your web browser favorites, you can do this and love it.

Since the device is inexpensive, it fails to offer an SD slot for more memory. So in summary, you couldn't do much better for an inexpensive and easy to use GPS device. You can search for these by points nearest your location, points along your route, or points near your destination. The internal memory contains tons of points of interest from hospitals to restaraunts to shopping centers that you can easily search.

This GPS has a nice software interface, but the maps are horribly out of date. BUY GARMIN. Now it does not work. Sometimes I will follow a highway and the map does not even recognize that the highway is there (location: Texas). It gets me to my destination. It would not format. So they told me to format it.

After talking to customer support they told me to update the unit. The screen would be almost white at startup and then eventually warm up to where I could use it. I have one and for the most part it is infinitely better. At least Microsoft admits their errors and fixes the Xbox. Well, it would not update. So the unit is one month out of warranty and it was functional when I called customer support. About one year into using this device it started having trouble with the LCD screen.

This is my first product review ever, so I must be pretty mad.
