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

I bought the TomTom One 3rd Edition a little over 2 years ago. It was the 2nd gps unit I had ever used (1st was verizon's VZ Navigator). 1st impression of this unit was awesome and it took awhile before finding little faults with it... It doesn't say street names. I guess I assumed all gps units had text to speech. Not that big of a deal since the display shows the street names, and it does announce the distance to your turns. When you first turn it on it takes up to 2 minutes to acquire satellite signals, but average wait time is around 45 secs or so and seems a little long if you're ready to go. Also, (and this has only happened a total of 5 times or so) sometimes it acts like it's searching for a signal and after waiting 3 minutes or more I end up rebooting it and it finds a signal fairly quickly after that.

However, overall this little thing has served me well the last couple years and still continues to navigate me to wherever I need to go. I love how thin it is and I can remove it from my car and it fits in a shirt pocket. The lithium battery life averages 1.5 to 2 hrs, but when it's in my car it's always plugged in anyway. Plug it into your computer, via usb, and it loads TomTom Home automatically and there's a lot of free add-ons you can download, like cool voices, power-on & off screens, car icons and mapshare updates. Also, if you connect it to your computer weekly, it downloads "quick-fix" which tracks the satellites in orbit and can acquire signals within 30 secons of power-on. I've seen these on sale for 80 bucks and I highly recommend it as an excellent and reliable starter GPS. -- excellent and reliable starter GPS

I bought this device one year ago, and last week it stucked at startup screen. Solutions tomtom website provided are useless. And they refused to repair it because my device is out of warranty. Bad service. -- Poor service

First, as with any GPS, it's not 100% accurate. I now have had several TomToms and the physical locations are a little off, but close. The manual even states "within 30 feet," which is about 3.5 car lanes across. So if I type in my physical home address, I may be 1/10 of a mile away. Not bad at all.

Also, any GPS doesn't know local conditions. Judging by speed limits and distance, my GPS tells me to take a main road to avoid traffic (using the traffic receiver); it doesn't know that it would take me 30 minutes to move 3 miles through the traffic congestion and traffic lights.

My job has me driving all day, and this TomTom One 3rd edition was my first GPS. It's the best! My dad has had Magellen and now Garmin, but TomTom is so much easier to use and personalize. After I bought this a couple years ago, I bought the RDS-TMC traffic antenna as well, and it was always well worth it.

I went on to buy a TomTom One 130 for my wife (the price was right), but it was not as quick to access satellites as the 3rd edition is. I now have my third TomTom (so that I have traffic updates at no additional charge), moved the 3rd edition to my wife's car, and sold the 130. I highly recommend this 3rd edition! -- Use daily, and it's the easiest
