Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
Rating: - Solid
This is a good product for a guy like me that goes on vacation twice a year. It is easy to update easy to use and very practical for work related trips.
I read reviews myself before I make a purchase and there is no way I have the time to go into that level of depth as some of these guys do. So refer to the more complex reviews if you like to analyze ever avenue of this product. They are well written and more informative than consumer reports.
Rating: - Very nice compared to the older models
I found the new tomtom ONE 3rd very interesting. First of all, it is way better than Garmin/all series due to one important fact : None of Garmin GPSs will show your turning direction on the bottom, they all point it directly in the map which is useless in some occasions.
The new tomtom is smaller and more portable than the previous designs with lots of added features such as map sharing which is just great. This is my second TomTom and I'm really satisfied with it.
Rating: - I doubt the others are much better, at least the price is reasonable
This product didn't meet my high expectations though I don't think the brand or model is to blame but I suspect all GPS systems have the same limitations. My complaints:
It doesn't say "Turn right on Elm St" rather it says "in 400 yards, turn right". (The screen does provide the name of the street though, you just don't get it verbally.)
It's like a cell phone....you're not always guaranteed you'll have reception. Doesn't do me a whole heck of a lot of good if all it states is "Lost signal 3 minutes ago". I sure wouldn't rely 100% on it...you better also have a hard ... Read More
Rating: - Love the TomTom
The TomTom is easy to use and accurate. The mistakes made were because we didn't trust it! Great starter GPS that will serve most needs.
Rating: - get nowhere at Blue ridge Parkway
We got twice using TomTOm this week, first one is cannot find the hampton at Martinsville VA, got on Eden, NC which is more than 10 miles away. Second instance today is leading us to close to Little Switzerland at middle of nowhere, we felt we will die at Blue Ridge Parkway. The real destination is at least 70 miles south which TomTom failed a lot!!!
