I bought the TomTom One v3 three weeks ago. I was going to be doing a lot of driving in unfamiliar territory around Glasgow and district. (I also intend using the European mapping when on holiday in hire cars). Verdict - brilliant. Very intuitive and easy to use. I bought the TomTom One as it appeared to be the most basic on offer. I didn't want bluetooth hands free phone compatibilty, mp3 player, radio volume muting etc. etc. Just a device that tells you how to get from A to B. It does just that. It makes the odd mistake at roundabouts but quickly recalculates and sorts it out. Definitely recommended.
I don't like it stuck to the windscreen. It falls off and would be a target for theft if not removed every time you leave the car. Mine works perfectly stuck in a storage space in the dashboard beside the gear lever. The maps are not as visible as they would be when stuck to the windscreen but the voice commands are excellent and all you really need anyway.
Security advice - I was given this advice by a friend. Don't put your complete home address into a sat nav. Why? Well if your car is stolen and the sat nav is inside it, the thief can key in 'navigate home' and is directed to your house. He knows the house is probably unoccupied as you are busy at the police station reporting your stolen car!!
Great value for money piece of kit! December 27, 2007

I got this sat nav as an early xmas present and have been pleasantly surprised, given that it has had mixed reviews. I have found it an absolute breeze to use, working straight out of the box with virtually no setting up at all. It picks up an excellent signal from around 7-8 satellites most of the time and the instructions are clear and given well in advance. The unit is very small and neat, ideal for just popping in your pocket when you leave. I've had no problem with the windscreen mount unlike some people, although I may purchase a vent mounting so it isn't so obviously sat in the window for thieves to see! Planning a route is very straightforward via 'navigate to..' using current position as departure point or from any other location using the 'A-B prepare route' in the main menu. It has loads of customisable features and includes speed camera warnings which can be updated on line with a 20 charge. I have, however, had a problem updating my unit with the most up-to-date maps. I would definitely recommend creating a back up copy of the existing map before you delete it from the unit and download the new one, because if it doesn't download correctly, like mine didn't, you might lose all maps!

After reading all the reviews I finally took the plunge and bought the TomTom ONE V3 Europe and have not been dissapointed. I also bought the optional carry case and mains charger so I can charge it up before I go. Saves having an annoying cigar lighter lead trailing around the car. The unit works OK sitting by the handbrake in the centre console. I find this less distracting and saves trying to stick it to the windscreen. It is easy to follow just the spoken instructions.
Doesn't take very long to plan a route and it reacts very quickly if you take a diversion. Unit has always found enough satellites with no problem, even indoors!
I set the unit up using TomTom Home on my Apple imac with no problem. I like the idea of MapShare and even uploaded a local road closure that the built-in mapping didn't know about.
The only thing you have to get used to is the very sensitive touch screen. My daughter has no problems but my sausage fingers occasionally pick the wrong thing.
Very impressed with it so far. Hope to use it when I do a trip to the south of France in a few months time.
Tomtom over garmin any day April 29, 2008

Having used Tomtom for several years around the continent in the form of Navigator 5 on my phone i decided to upgrade it to a standalone unit that had all of Europe on it. In France this spring we decided to hire a Garmin 350 to see how it was. I admit that Tomtom can appear to have quite a few options to it and some people find the simpler interface of the Garmin easier. Personally I found the Garmin unit very frustratingly basic and unable to do simple things that my Tomtom unit had been doing for years (advanced planning and itineraries) to let me plan multiple destination trips whilst on holiday. Sometimes i simply want to know how long it takes to get from one place to another. Garmin does not allow this easily.
The Tomtom is by no means perfect and the maps can sometimes be frustratingly out of date but mapshare seems to work well and the thousands of free updates I've received seem to have sorted some of the glitches out. I live in Edinburgh and if mapshare can navigate me around the nightmare the tramworks have caused I can only recommend it highly.
One major frustration I had with the old Navigator was the inability to install it using my Mac. That issue has disappeared now with Tomtom Home. Software that installs on both mac and PC. It starts up whenever you plug your Tomtom in to the computer and tells you what updates are available. I must admit to being very impressed.
I installed Tomtom home on my parents computer at the weekend and my father has finally been coaxed onto the computer after it being my mothers domain for 5 years. He's already updated his maps for free, bought speed camera updates and keeps phoning to let me listen to the latest voice he's installed.
If you are swithering between Tomtom and Garmin like I have for a year.. I couldn't recommend the Tomtom One highly enough.

Well I himmed and haaaed about getting the TOM TOM Europe. Especially after reading the reviews. But I'm very pleased I did. Fortunately it arrived in time for my mammoth trip to North Holland. What can I say it worked like a dream, having previously had a bump from looking at maps whilst driving in Europe a couple of years a go - if you haven't got a map reader in the passenger seat this is even better anyway! It calculates the route - tells you how far you have to go until the next turning, also the total miles to go. You can easily recalculate the route to include an extra stop, if you're going via Ferry rather than Channel Tunnel as I was. But it really came into its own when faced with road closures. What can I say, with a simple tap it recalculated my route within seconds and I was being guided through back lanes I would not have stood a chance of navigating. I was left free to glance at all the lovely windmills whilst it gave me directions, a real treat. I was squeaking with joy at my new toy! What would have taken me an extra 2 hours ended only adding 20 minutes to my journey, thank you TOM TOM. As for all the problem speak about the Tom Tom mounting, I had trouble removing mine from the window, couldn't get it off without putting a blade end under it. I think it must be important to lick the sucker pad to create a good suction, but it was solid and firm for sure.
It also tells you where the speed cameras are surely this is cheating!? But hey pretty handy! I have plugged it into my MAC and it works fine with Leopard although I have not made a back up yet of the TOM TOM HD as suggested - I had the feeling this may take a few hours - an over night job to be left whilst I sleep. I give this bit of kit 5 stars for the price ( 115) I think this is invaluable. Especially as with road closures alone - that getting AA Route-finder instructions off the net cannot foresee and help you with!
Unless you do a lot of traveling with work then perhaps it's something that the whole family can share for holidays or special trips away as might be considered a luxury. However I don't know how easy my mother would find it to work but she still can't do text messages on her phone, but for me the quick start guide was enough to get me working the entire thing easily within minutes. It's very straight forward to use and not at all complicated.
