TomTom ONE Classic UK & ROI Automotive GPS Receiver

Now we've had a few years of SatNavs and TomToms in particular, now seemed like a good time to but one. I borrowed a friends Tomtom Rider and was impressed by the intuitive way all the menus are set out. The tomtom software is standard on all their devices but with the Tomtom One it also features IQ routes; a way to keep up with speed camera locations and general changes in road systems (roads that have turned into one way systems is a good example) that can be logged onto the tomtom and then uploaded and shared with other users.

When connected to a PC with Tomtom home Software it will update information about where the satellites are going to be so you can find your position much faster and even indoors.

There are now Tomtom XLs that have larger screens but with the clear instructions that the device gives you only need quick glances at the screen to get an idea of where you're heading so I'm quite happy with the standard screen. The size is ideal for stowing in a glove box or parcel shelfs in the car and with the Easyport mount takes very little space wherever you fancy sticking it in your vehicle.

Tomtom provide regular map updates (for a fee) and these are updated every quarter or if you fancy a trip abroad you can download maps for other countries too.

Good little satnav that has got me out of a few tight spots in the past and probably will in the future. As long as you remember that when you switch on your Tomtom not to switch off your brain these handy devices can get you places fast and safe. Right up until the point when all the satellites stop working and start falling out of the sky, in which case keep a map handy.

My previous TomTom One stopped working after four years of weekly use. It may have been my fault because for a few weeks I used an unofficial in-car charger because the orignal one fell into two halves exposing the electronics inside. The new TomTom One has a sturdier charger. It also came with maps of Europe. With all the features, such as voices and displays, I have been used to this without a doubt was the best buy for me, particularly when I extensively searched for a better priced one with similar features. The window sucker is supreme, Without using the release mechanism I cannot pull is off the window. The manner in which the unit clips to the sucker is also very good even though it needed a little experimenting first. A ventilation grill attachement is also available but I have not got one. I won't use any other charger on this unit and I think that threfore it will last a lot longer. From the internet you can download new voices, updates, as well as the car on the screen. The screen is just 72 mm from left to right and 53 mm from top to bottom. But because you can zoom in or out that does not bother me. I have used it for two months now and, would I buy it again? Yes!

This tomtom is a great gps once you have got use to the menu it is easy to use what i love about the tomtom is you can choice a voice that suits you and the points of intrest are very clear to see.Also this tomtom has a HELP menu which means where ever you are and what ever time it is and what ever help you need its at your fingar tips from hosiptal to doctors to police cafe to what ever you can think of its in that HELP menu click on FIND and it will take you to the neariest one to you just great.The maps are a good price plus the speed cameras updates the tomtom has free updates to i had the Navman before this and i said it would take some beating but i think this tomtom classic does if you love to traffle but love to get there with out any worries then get the TOMTOM classic you will not be sorry.

I haven't used this sat nav more than to just go up the road to see that it worked BUT so far so good. I will be using more in the summer. I received one for xmas that was faulty and found a better model cheaper on ebay. I went for tom tom because of reputation of ease of use.I don't think its idiot proof but not too hard. The mount onto the window is a bit tricky as it pops off the sat nav too easily when you are fixing to the screen, the fix to the screen is good.

Good basic sat nav. No really advanced features but accurate and reliable. Good value for money and easy to use. In general Tom Tom far superior to most other GPS receivers. Clear display
