TomTom - One XL-S GPS Device Reviews

Just researching the unit was a nightmare exploration into the jungle of portable GPS units now available to consumers.  There was Mio, Magellan, Gamin, and Tom Tom to consider; each of which...

We have had our TomTom for about seven months.  We use a female voice so we call her Mandy.  Mandy is like a part of the family!  We enjoy taking her with us and are always amazed at how she always knows exactly where we are.  She always lets us know when we missed a turn.  She shows us how fast we are travelling and where the rest stops are as well as other points of interest.  We don't worry anymore about how to get to our destination.  Our TomTom will always get us there.  It is easy to use and read while driving, and has an option to store locations for ease of use.  Other options...

I LOVE my tom tom one.  We bought it a little over a year ago, and it has saved us so many times in the St. Louis area, esp. with all the construction that is going on here.  Sadly, I shop more than ever because I can easily find all the stores in the downtown area that were always out of reach before. 

It is also a lifesaver when on cartrips with my hubby.  It GREATLY cuts down on the inevitable roadtrip fights over stopping for directions.  It is also great for the kids, because I can tell them exactly when we will be there.

The only drawback, is like with every GPS system, you have to...

We bought our TomTOM ONE as hubby is now a truck driver everything went fine untill a route changed somewhere in georgia the gps kept telling him to go right he kept saying to me that silly thing has not got the new information if i go right here we will be in that farmers field. We have scince found out there is a place to go online to upload new routes into the TOM TOM ONE SYSTEM GPS so if that ever comes up again we will be on track and not lost. I really like the fact you touch the screen put in address where your destination is and it will tell you notonly where to go but how it has all the...

I used to shudder at trips alone. I can't read maps...and I always used to get lost. Now, with teh TOMTOM GPS, all I have to do is type in where I need to go. I like the all the extra features it has. You can choose points of interest, parks, shopping centers, find a restaurant or gas station near you etc. As you drive down the road, little icons pop up such as bank names, atms and gas stations, so you can easily see what's around you if you need something. The only thing I don't like is the price of dowloading new maps. Mines a few years out of date. Being out of date can cause you to have pld...

This Tom-Tom device really helped us out on a recent out of state trip to Georgia. I know for a fact that without it I wouldn't have found half the destinations I wanted to view without it. My experience with mapquest has been horrible while Tom-Tom was right on the money every single time. Even though I sometimes questioned the route, I resisted the urge to do it "my way" and sure enough, arrived exactly as planned. The purchase was reasonable and the directions are simple to follow. You can update the maps via computer for a nominal fee.  The voice makes driving safe since you really don't need...

I am technically challenged and I am perfectly capable of operating my Tom Tom.I have used it to find my way from point to point while on vacation,traveling from Texas to New Mexico.

Whenever I am out and about in town and feel hungry,all I need to do is su my TomTom to find a restaurant.It gives me very detailed directions.What I like most of all is after I set it for where I want to go ,just leave it alone and listen to the voice tell you how to get there.

TomTom GPS has made my life much less hectic.I no longer have a fear of getting lost.I am able to find businesses without having to pull...

Ok...when my husband said lets get Tom Tom, i was like sure go ahead didnt excite me at first cause we never went and where, where we needed a Tom Tom. but luckly we did..cause my son had to be at a hospital a few months after we bought tom tom and if it wasnt for tom tom we would have never found the place...lol....that gave me trust in tom tom that he new what he was talking about...lol....after that we go and take tom tom everywhere we have been so many places, and even if its around the house i have to take it cause i dont have a clue most of the time where anything is at so i just put it tom...

I have been in cars that have used this GPS.  And while it can give very accurate directions, there have been times that it has failed, and failed quite poorly.  One time, it indicated that we(my friend was driving his car and I was the passenger) should go to the end of the road and then turn left.

The only problem with this, is that by going left, it took us in exactly the opposite directions of where we needed to go.  We both knew that we had to go to the right.  So, we ignored the command to go left.

However, if we didn't know that, we would have been in very big trouble.

My hubby and I bought this Tom Tom while visiting my son in Tennessee.  We used it several times while in Nashville, being unfamiluar with the area Tom Tom really helped out.  We were able to make it to all our destinations without any problem at all.  We have also used the option to locate different stores not knowing if they even had them in the area, again Tom Tom took us right to were we wanted to go.  I recommend Tom Tom to any one who likes to travel and also just for everyday use.

The Tom Tom -XL-S GPS I purchased from Walmart was fun to nagivate with - you know it talks to you in a voice of your preference as well as tracking your path and speed on the Highway.  When the battery went dead however it would not recharge so I had to exchange it for another... the very next day.  The new one has not been a problem in any way.  I managed to connect it to the internet and update the maps and information very easily.  We really like it.

I always bring the TomTom One XL-S GPS Device when driving to places I have never been before.  It has never been wrong and always has gotten me where I needed to go safely without getting lost.  TomTom is so much more accurate than Mapquest and even if I make a wrong turn by accident, it simply re-routes you so you still find your destination.

This GPS will get you lost,Take you down dead ende roads then tell you to make a u-turn, tell you to turn one way and you need to go the other way,and will try to get you to go on roads that are not roads you can go anywhere on. and when you download a new map it will take all of your saved favorite's off and you have to put them all back on.

We have had the Tom Tom -One XL-S GPS for about 6 months.  We wouldn't travel with out it.  It is very easy to use.  Easy to program.  Traveling with 3 children,we love the option -  points of interest close to us. Easy to find restaurants and hotels, attractions. I would not leave home without this GPS system!
