Its small compact and lightweight but the price got me down a little bit but thats where i have a solution Rating:  - A disappointing experienceHad used TomTom GPS before on a PDA and had even borrowed a V1 TomTom One for a trial run, so I was familiar with many of its shortcomings before purchase. Poor battery life, road info not up to date, slow GPS signal capture etc.were all things I knew about but wasn't unduly bothered about - it's the base model after all. 2 weeks after purchase the screen developed a fault, rendering it unreadable. Other than that the product did seem prone to making unusable route decisions via one way streets or restricted access roads which meant having to drive around in circles whilst TomTom worked out a different route. So it has been sent back to Amazon who have refunded us our money; much obliged Amazon. I won't be buying another Tom Tom One and will probably go back to using an A-Z and Streetmap to plan a route BEFORE I set off in the car. If you can live with its faults it is easy to use. If you need to rely on a GPS system for your work this one isn't for you. Borrow a few different models and test try them, especially in city centres with one way systems or bus/taxi only routes. Good luck! Rating:  - just watch what happens after the guarantee runs out!Like many others, I too, thought the Tom Tom was great, Initially. Then recently I noticed that the screen would suddenly go dead. The battery was fully charged, etc, but the machine would just switch off. I would then have to TRY to switch it on, tap at the button, bang it on the dashboard, turn it upside down, (Yes, terrible, whilst driving), then it would just decide to come on when it wanted. 2 mins later, it would switch off just when I thought we were going places. So I very much have to sadly throw this expensive toy,that my darling dearest got me, in the bin (the one that says recycled satnavs of course, any of you green peace, global warming my arse supporters out there). Happy driving. Rating: - Exactly what this thing can and cannot doI have now owned the Tomtom v3 for three weeks and put it to use with around a thousand miles worth of travel. On the whole, considering you are buying a small device for only £100 which guides you everywhere in the UK, its a bargain, as are all the other brands. To start with, the pros of this product: It is very easy to use and has many nice features, such as clear guidance voices and downloadable voices as well as choices of screen presentation styles and colours. I was very impressed with the additional features from guidance to POIs (Places of Interest) such as airports and the nearest petrol station in case of a low fuel emergency, to step by step instructions for resuscitating people at the side of the road and various emergency telephone numbers. While driving you are given speeds camera warnings, a display of your current speed, the current time, the estimated arrival time, the road you are on, how far till your next turning, what road you will turn onto and even a compass. I don't think I've missed anything. These are mostly optional. The speed readout does catch my eye a lot out of interest comparing it to my in-car speedometer and so has been turned off on mine to prevent me from crashing! Now to the cons that I have found so far: This product has some very annoying map and software issues that are worth being aware of. First, be aware that turning the password function on may well lock you out of your Tomtom ... Read More Rating: - TOMTOM R.I.P.Bought this unit for driving to geocaches using coordinates. Worked absolutely brilliantly and got to some pretty remote spots with ease. Beautifully clear displays and nicely layout menus. So why only two stars, I hear you say. Very simple. My Tomtom One died just out of warranty. Symptoms :- wouldn't come one, even after reset, and with power applied to the unit. Fortunately the unit didn't die in the middle of nowhere. Normally I'd shrug my shoulders and say "Well these things happen". But then I surfed for "Tomtom faults" on Google. And guess what, there are legion owners of Tomtoms that have died the same way. For me, until this long standing design fault has been ironed out by Tomtom, I'm going with a Garmin Nuvi. Whilst the Garmin Nuvi isn't a patch on the Tomtom, at least (I hope) it won't be costing me an extra £2 a week in motoring costs.
