 Supersize Tomtom June 3, 2007

I recently replaced my Tomtom Go for the One XL. The larger viewing screen is excellent navigation is a breeze and as with all tomtom products it effortlessly recalculates a new route if you go wrong without making you go back over previous roads. I would have given it 5-stars but Tomtom have spoilt an excellent unit by supplying it with a dreadfully inferior mount. The windscreen mount no longer has a locking clip to secure it to the windscreen so it tends to fall off while your driving. They have also made the arm very short so once you have secured the mount to the screen it is extremely difficult to attach the unit as it is too close to the glass and near impossible to remove it, unless you remove the mount as well each time and then you start all over again. I have given up and puchased an after market mount from a different supplier. But considering the price of the XL it should come with a useable mount similar to the other products in the range.
Good unit let down by little things June 17, 2007

All in all this is a very good satnav unit. Having previously owned a Garmin Nuvi 660, and having returned it due to the appalling TMC reception, the access to TomTom Plus traffic services is a definite plus. The TomTom also has much more customisability than the nuvi e.g. you can define an itinerary, or set a route that avoids a particular road.
However, there are other things that I miss. The display of traffic info when browsing the map could be simplified. It is often hard to read, and clicking on the traffic POIs can be a challenge while driving. However the unit does highlight delays relevant to the route, although the calculation of delay times appears somewhat exaggerated, and should be taken with a degree of caution. In fact, the TomTom's calculation of journey times in general appears to be on the high side.
The other thing I miss is the text-to-speech facility that allows the nuvi to tell you which street or motorway you're driving on. And the nuvi also highlights mobile speed camera zones, while the TomTom only displays fixed camera positions. Talking of display, there doesn't seem to be a way to get the TomTom to switch automatically from day to night-time display. There is on the nuvi.
Accessing traffic data whilst en-route also ties up the bluetooth on your mobile, and my phone is unable to connect to my hands-free device at the same time. As the One XL doesn't support hands-free calling, this is a big minus for anyone who wants to use their mobile phone legally on the road, and access Plus services.
Finally the windscreen mount, as mentioned by others, is prone to falling off on a regular basis. Unlike the nuvi's.
All in all, a perfectly functional device, albeit lacking some useful features, and a little overpriced for what it is - you're essentially paying a premium of around 70% on a TomTom One, for the privilege of a wider screen.

I purchased the TomTom XL GB version, this is an excellent GPS System for the price, I have always found that the TomTom navigation better than other makes that I have tested.
The big plus is the size of the screen, also it is slim for being able to carry in your pocket or bag.
I highly recommend this unit, also it is very simple to use and to set-up.

Bought this after trying a mates Tom Tom GO and liked it, so thought I`d treat myself. Bought this one because of the larger widescreen display and very pleased with it. I must admit I didnt use the suppied CD but downloaded the software from the TOM TOM site with no problem. Backed up the SD card on to the PC and downloaded `important` updates again without a problem. A common problem a lot of people seem to have is the windscreen mount, I dont know if its just the car I have but when on the windscreen, the bottom of the unit rests on the top of the dash making it very secure and vibration free. Navigation has been (so far) perfect, it will even tell you which lane to get in to when aproching a junction plus an abundence of other info like the nearest petrol station, resturant, cash machine, police station etc etc even down to the nearest dentist, well, you never know. Overall an excellent bit of kit.

Initially, I had problems with the Tom Tom Home software due to my inexperience. Eventually I had to resort to the Customer Support Team (twice) and they sorted me out promptly with expert advice. After that, I got the device installed in my car and it performed perfectly. In my opinion it is a brilliant piece of kit giving clear and precise directions and showing me where the dreaded speed traps were in plenty of time. I have no hesitation on recommending the Tom Tom One XL GB to anyone who, like me, used to habitually get lost.
