User Reviews about TomTom ONE XL-S 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator

The maps are not always very accurate. Update did not correct all of them. The background colors on some features make some things difficult to read, especially in bright light. Very easy to program. -- GPS

I have to admit it- I'm terrible with directions. I'm constantly getting lost, then calling my directional savvy father so he can figure out where I am & how I can get to where I need to be. I guess he got tired of hearing my panicky "I'm lost" voice, since I got this for Christmas.

Well, so far I've really enjoyed this product. It's a nice item, works easy & as long as you have some knowhow, you can easily personalize it with your own icons & maybe even make one of your own voices (I don't have a mic, so I can't do that). It's very good so far at getting me where I need to go.

I've only got a few problems with it- one of which isn't really the navigator's fault. First off, I noticed that if you let the unit sit for too long without powering it on or charging it, the power will drain from it. I'm not sure why it does this, but it's annoying. Secondly, I got irritated that there are so many extra charges on everything. They're not horrendously expensive all things considering, but a little bit of promo on the box would be nice. My third problem is well... TomTom's taken me through some pretty seedy neighborhoods- as in "lock your doors & try not to get shot" neighborhoods. That's not really anything that the company can help, though, so it's really not a true fault. I just recommend that if you are planning your routes, that you research it beforehand so you can try to reprogram the route so you don't get a nasty little surprise.

Overall, I love this machine. It did it's job when I used it & didn't get lost. -- My adventures with TomTom...
