How it sucks

I'm dissappointed that Tom Tom One doesn't say the name of the streets, but I can get over that. I guess the rental car Tom Tom was a different model than the one I purchased. Another disappointment was finding the same Tom Tom One on sale at an electronics store for $50 less a month after my purchase.

and the TOM TOM 1 3rd Edition is a VERY poor unit. Their choice of TeleAtlas mapping is very weak (doesn't even show many of the streets and a major 35 year old mall here in Bangor, Maine. Even after buying the $50 regional map for the northest...no improvement.

I assume that means digitally, not physically - but that would be cool too (and dangerous on the roads) - could lead to an insurance nightmare.

The Tom Tom does not speak the name of the street, just says 'turn right in 200 feet' while the Garmin speaks the name of the street. If the name of the street is important to you, either purchase the higher priced TomTom or the Garmin. If just being told to turn is acceptable to you, this unit will work well for you.

this prduct has no earthly value, it failed to function in english. i threw it into the trash can after 12 hours of frustation. when i called the maufacturer i tried to explain the problem.

I was excited to see that there was an option to search all the nearby resturaunts and so forth were all listed by name - Little Caesars, pubs, and the like. The volume is going to be sufficiently loud enough for my father-in-law who sometimes doesn't hear everything. While it doesn't name out street names, it does speak to you about turns - giving you about a 500 yard warning and then when to turn.

I purchased another name brand and tryed to figure it out, my son came to my house three times to help me figure out how to work it. I gave up and gave it away!!! then I ordered my tom tom and got it figured out the first day.

If you use Bluetooth technology, then you can also have it communicate through your phone and calculate routes based on traffic and weather. I haven't used that feature - but it is available on this product. With the use of your phone - you can also track other friends who are doing the same thing - and that would make caravanning easier.

The display is great, turn by turn spoken directions are awesome and it is really quick. The connection to the satellites is really fast and we have yet to lose it anywhere. If you are moving to a new city, it is a great co-pilot.

But again, I'm still happier than anticipated and know I'll never be lost again, literally. I also am impressed with how fast Tom TOm can recalculate detours.

I absolutly LOVE this. I'm a person that isn't good with directions so this helps a great deal. Very easy to use.

Was very happy with the process of purchasing this item and the speedy delivery with which it was delivered. The navigation system itself is amazingly easy to use and transport. Love it!

The navigator comes with a suction mount, plug for the cigarette lighter, the USB cable, and a CD-ROM - which we haven't used yet.
