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.
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.

I bought the TomTom Onev3 three weeks ago. I was going to be doing a lot of driving in unfamiliar territory around Glasgow and district. 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!!

If you,like me drive only in the UK this is THE sat nav to have.
There are no complications,its just like a Nokia phone,anyone can pick it up and use it ! It is deadly accurate and if you take a detour intentionally or otherwise it will continue to point you in your intended direction until you are back on track.
Get one and throw your A-Z away.

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.
