But it's not just the broad geographical coverage that makes the TomTom 0NE special. The user-friendly design also puts it a step above other navigation systems. The crystal-clear multicolor display makes for exceptionally easy viewing of maps, routes, driving directions, and other traveling information, such as mileage and distance. Measuring 3.5 inches, the TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 240 to provide brilliant two- and three-dimensional graphics.

0NE provides clear and accurate turn-by-turn voice instructions, so that you don't have to take your eyes off the road while your vehicle is on the move. Voice instructions are issued at a speed-sensitive volume, so as your vehicle's engine becomes louder or quieter as your speed changes, the volume adjusts itself accordingly, guaranteeing clear and easy listening.

For additional navigational features to assist with trip planning, the built-in Bluetooth connection provides access to TomTom PLUS subscription-based services, so that you can tune in to the latest traffic and weather conditions, as well as download additional city maps, voices, points of interest, and much more.

Weighing less than 10 ounces and measuring 4.33 x 3.5 x 1.34 inches, the TomTom 0NE can be easily installed in any vehicle. An included windshield suction mount holds it in place. Plus, with an operating temperature range of an icy -10 degrees to a sweltering 55 degrees Celsius (14 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit), the navigator is durable enough for New England winters or Arizona summers.

Buyer's feedback: - * Bought as a present ...
I Bought this for my niece's graduation present. She is on her way this Fall to go to Law school and is not to familiar with Tenn.

She was thrilled with it, and learned to use it quickly. She told me several of her friends want one now.

Buyer's feedback: - simple and accurate is all i ask for
this gps is on point. for every turn or intersection. i was amazed when the gps found local points of interest such as diners, schools, gas stations and etc. you dont expect a gps for this price to be as accurate as the 500 dollar ones. my only complaint is i could use a bigger one.

Buyer's feedback: - * Trust the TomTom ...
I live down South so here in SC the roads don't change much and so the TomTom seems much more accurate to us hicks than you sissyfied city folk. Ok I'm only kidding but the TomTom seems very accurate to me. I only use it on long trips (100 or more miles) and if I have to go somewhere downtown and I'm not familiar where the place is. I've learned to pretty much trust the TomTom but it always seems to falter at the last couple of buildings. But, it does get you where you want to go. The TomTom loves the interstate so it always guides you there even if you know a shorter route from experience. I gave it four stars because it works well for what you pay. I've had mine about 6 months.

Buyer's feedback: - TOMTOM ONE
I cant imagine how I ever got along without my TOMTOM all these years, makes traveling fun and is easy to operate. The one draw back is that on this model you have to pay for map updates and that can run into some money.

Buyer's feedback: - * Very buggy software -Californians Beware! ...
We bought this device about a year ago in North Carolina where it had a so-so performance. We started to notice some software problems, but nothing too severe at the time. Then, later that year, we moved to the Bay area and that's when the device really started failing.

Apparently TomTom thought a solid software design involves rebooting the device when it loses GPS. As soon as we hit an overpass, the device goes blank and it takes an exotic combination of pressing the start button, removing the power cable and re-inserting the memory card a couple of times to get it to work again.... until the next overpass. The couple of times it does manage to reboot by itself, it quietly reverts back to a random previously entered destination, causing us to suddenly get detoured and ending up driving in the completely wrong direction.

We have updated the software multiple times, but it does not seem to make a difference. Somehow it works better in Arizona and North Carolina, but performance in California is abysmal.

The maps are ok, if a bit outdated. The directions can be outright confusing, but once you understand what the voice *really* means and you start to selectively ignore what she says, you can get to your destination fairly easily.

I have read the stories about the terrible customer service, so we're not even going to bother trying to get our $200 back or getting the device repaired. We're switching to Garmin soon and this one will end up in the trash where it belongs.
