Bought this sat nav as it was the cheapest TomTom there was(everyone seems to recommend TomTom),and we only wanted it for use in the UK. Very easy to use, instantly worked out a new route when we took a wrong turn. Knocked spots off the nav man we had borrowed before. Took a little bit of getting used to some of the phrases it uses, but only a minor quibble.Screen is very clear and easy to follow. Would definately recommend.

Being recently separated, I found it difficult driving to unfamiliar places using a road map with no-one else to give me the directions. This gadget was a real eye-opener, just key in the postcode or address of the place you want to go to, hit the done key and it plots out the best route for you to drive to, and gives you voice instructions with a clear, viewable map to guide where to go. And it works! Whats more it indicates speed cameras, alerting you if you go over the speed limit in speed camera areas, places to park, hospitals, you name it. Plug it into your computer with the supplied USB cable and it will update your maps and software. I run the updates as often as i can and this also works fine.
The screen is quite small but very clear. I've had it since xmas and it hasn't sent me the wrong way once. If I take a wrong turning, it quickly alters the route and guides you safely on a revised route. The range of voices offered is good. I mostly use the "Jane" voice. I like the way she gives the instruction before roundabouts, and then just when you enter the roundabout to make sure you haven't forgotten. Bless her. Much better at giving me directions than my ex!

Can't complain with this although it seems that some people bought this thinking they could use it abroad. If you wan't a capable sat nav for the UK only then this is the one. Only don't buy the add-on of a windscreen holder and charger as described. One the charger has the wrong connection, two the windscreen holder kept falling off and three...and this is the best one...it already comes with both!!! Why would you want 2??? It's not obvious it comes with either.
Much better! November 2, 2007

I bought this item to replace the RAC 200, which I had major problems with.
Being a relative newcomer to the world of satnav, I can only compare the TomTom One (TT1) to my first satnav, which didnt work at all, so I can safely say it is an improvement on that...
All in all I am very pleased with my TT1 as the mapping software is much faster to load, the gps receiver picks up a much stronger signal very quickly, and the touch-scren interface is much easier to use than the RAC unit. Also, it works 'out of the box', whereas I had real problems with my previous unit.
My advice would be not to try and save a few quid by getting a cheaper satnav, as this unit really is worth the difference.
Not infallible . . . but definitely invaluable March 31, 2008

I've had the Tom Tom One (GB) now for about 6 months and having avoided buying one for so long I'm so glad I did. Even despite it's (small) flaws it has to be one of the best things I've ever bought.
Probably like others, I'd avoided a SatNav as I thought it was just something else that marketeers were convincing us we needed when in truth 95% of the journeys we make are the ones we know like the backs of our hands anyway. This is all true but this is still a great purchase. For one, it does what it says it will - you can take it from it's box, put the sucker on your windscreen (which has so far never fallen off, unlike the larger XL I've heard), put the adaptor into your lighter socket, turn it on, type in an address or postcode and it will then take you there. If you go wrong, it will recalculate a route within a few seconds and start taking you there again. Sometimes, if you're as sad as I am, you'll deliberately go off track knowing that this thing will guide you back - Brilliant! You can also take it off your windscreen, jump into a friend's car and it will still do the same (though with only about 2 hours battery life when off the adaptor you won't want to go too far). The Tom Tom can also be set up to work if you are on foot - great if you are trying to navigate across a city somewhere.
As well as doing exactly what it's intended for - i.e., getting you from A to B, the Tom Tom also has another big bonus - easing your stress and adding to your safety. You don't have to keep looking at a map or routeplan instructions as you go to an unfamiliar place, as the Tom Tom visually and verbally tells you what to do and when (it doesn't say anything when it doesn't need to and you can turn the sound off easily). And if you go wrong, it will guide you to your destination by another way - not easy with a map and impossible with routeplanning instructions. The other thing which eases stress is that it tells you when you are likely to get to a place - accurately I've found - which means if you can see you are in good time you won't get worked up thinking you'll be late.
There's a couple of slight downsides. First the mapping isn't infallible and once or twice I've come to a set of bollards dividing two parts of the same road where the Tom Tom thinks I should be able to carry straight on. It's also taken me up someone's driveway where the house backed on to and shared the same postcode as the leisure centre I was going to! (so sometimes, it's best to find a place by the street, not the postcode). It's also sometimes difficult to know exactly which road you are supposed to take when for example there's two or three roads close together - the Tom Tom knows which one, but it's not always easy to interpret it quickly enough when you are trying to decide with a lorry up your backside. And as it's only accurate to a couple of metres, it can take the device a few seconds to tell you you've actually taken the wrong road. Doesn't sound like an issue until you've been there. This also leads on to a more subtle problem in that you start letting the SatNav take precedence over common sense - if you just looked at the roadsigns they would probably tell you exactly which road the Axxx is amongst the 3 choices in front of you even if it's not clear from the Tom Tom display. And if I let the Tom Tom literally guide me to my home I'd probably be sharing dinner with the neighbours most nights.
So, not infallible but so, so useful.
