3.0 out of 5 stars
Good but with a couple of caveats,
By
This review is from: TomTom ONE IQ Routes Edition Satellite Navigation Unit UK & ROI (Electronics)
Good clear screen, easy to use. Satellites picked up quickly and current position is very accurate indeed. Directional voice instructions are very good, I especially like the on screen distance countdown which allows you to quickly glance how many meters are left to the next turning. It generally takes me to the correct location. On some occasions it has been completely inaccurate and has tried to take me the wrong way down one-way streets or down streets that have been pedestianised and by the look of them have been so for many years. It's saving grace to these inaccuracies is that it recalculates the route quickly and smoothly. I have added some sets of PoI which was relatively easy to do. There is speed camera warnings but unless you pay for the updates ignore this as I have passed many fixed cameras without a warning, the useful alternative is to turn on the excess speed warning option which will warn you if your speed exceeds the limit for the road you are on. TomTom was recommended as the make to get by a colleague at work whose job it is to appraise satnav technology for my organisation and I trust his recommendations.

The best Tom Tom yet,
By
This review is from: TomTom ONE IQ Routes Edition Satellite Navigation Unit Europe (Electronics)
I wrote this review to address some of the problems people have listed with this system so here goes. Firstly, the USB lead supplied with it is a strange L shape but I had no problem using it at all, it fits easily first time. There is another way around this by using any other USB lead. The same goes for the car charger, just use any car USB charger with the same power output.
Secondly, the maps. It took 24 minutes to download them on my 10Mb connection and then another 40 minutes to install. Not too bad in my opinion and it only needs doing once. There have been lots of talk about the Tom Tom not having enough memory to fit the maps on, well mine shows 1.9GB available on the device with only 1.6GB used and 300Mb free for extra voices etc. Thirdly, the lane guidance. It does work exactly as it shows on the box with a nice full screen display, but only on motorways. If you come across a normal roundabout etc then you only get the small arrows down the bottom left. Now all that's done, all that's left to say is that I love this sat nav! It's a great improvement over my old 520, in fact I "downgraded" to a Tom Tom one because it has 4 times the internal memory, the built on windscreen mount is great (much better than any other i've had) and the speaker is far louder than ever before. I have written some less than positive reviews about Tom Tom's before but i have to say they have got this one spot on. I'd recommended buying the Tom Tom One without any hesitation. Yes of course it has the usual sat nav problems of the odd speed limit being wrong etc but just remember - when you turn your sat nav on, don't turn your brain off!

Good little Gadget with minor software faults,
By
This review is from: TomTom ONE Classic UK & RoI Satellite Navigation System (Electronics)
The Tom Tom One is a great little Gadget and I am so surprised that I hadn't bought one earlier. Just one drawback appears to be the preinstalled software. I have owned one for about 6 months now and the device had been working absolutely fine until a couple of weeks agao when I was trying to navigate out of a town in Leicestershire. All of a sudden the device started losing the GPS signal and became useless for an hour or two. Over the next few days, this became more and more of a problem before losing all its ability to locate a GPS signal. When I returned home I emailed Tom Tom and they sent me details on how to delete certain files and reinstall the software. This has now fixed my Tom Tom. It's just a good job that I own a PC and am able to carry out this fix.
