Not what I ordered
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I’m sorry but this is not what we ordered. We wanted a bluetooth Gps and it was worded that way but when this came it worked fine except for there was nothing to connect with my cell phone. The law in N.J. states no cell phonesm,and unless we use “handsfree”, we would be in danger of getting a ticket, if caught talking on a cell phone.We found out we would need to subscribe for the added luxury, which would cost a monthly fee, so we returned the item and look for some other GPS.

TomTom is working great. It is easy to use,considering I am over 65,and easy to read.
I recommend it to any one who travels a lot.
Urgh….

I have had nothing but issues. The updated map exceeded the internal memory card size so you have to buy a memory card (do not buy more than a 2GB card). There have been a slew of other issues since. In sum, I would spend a bit more money and buy something better!

I have owned this GPS unit for over a year and have kept currwent with the USA & Canada maps. The BAD feature with this unit is that the battery is NOT replaceable. The battery will not hold a charge for more than two days while in storage(it’s case, on a shelf). I use the battery charger when I am traveling for more than an hour to keep the unit operating. The maps are good. I have only had one problem while traveling in Oklahoma which cost me an half our of extra driving time.
Somehow, Tom Tom knew my exact location but sent me to the wrong location. The reason was that in Oklahoma City there are two streets with the same name, both going North and South with the same street addressing scheme. However, these streets are at opposite ends of the city.
Also, this unit will get you to your location within 40-50 yards.
Very poor battery! Poor support!
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I’ve had my TomTom One XL for about 18 months. When turned off, the battery will drain within 2 days. Support says that this is normal as the battery must maintain settings. A really poor excuse. A PC internal battery will maintain settings for up to 10 years. On top of the battery draining, the unit will not operate on external power until the battery has a minimal charge and is reset. This means that you cannot use the unit for about an hour after putting on external power. Really great technology here.
On top of that, new maps came out about 6 months after I purchased the unit. Had I purchased the new maps, I would have paid full price. I was not offered a discount. I also submitted map corrections over a year ago and these have not appeared. Really great support here.
I cannot in good conscience recommend this product. There are too many other good products available.
TomTom, please return your product to Europe. It doesn’t fly here.
great gps

After buying and trying this for a couple of weeks now I really like it. I ordered it to put in a new ford lariet I was going to buy but by the time it came I had bought the King Ranch that has gps built in. I just use this in my work truck and it has performed great.
Refurbished was a mistake
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
The times I did use this were great, it took me on some unnamed Forest Service roads geocaching from one lake to another without me having a clue how to get there. Took me downstate to where my son was staying with no problem. We named her Lola and just enjoyed traveling with her the few times we used her. Saying that, we did only use this a few times before it simply died. I loved everything about this GPS but would not buy a refurbished one again. I thought they were supposed to be as good as new but after using it probably less than 10 times it just won’t turn on anymore.

Purchased this 5 months ago to replace an older Garmin 350. Map update for the Garmin was too pricey. The TomTom is an excellent gps. You are allowed one free update for newest map coverage which I did. I live down in New Orleans and there has not been any problems with locating streets in the 150 mile radius that I travel to back and forth. Speaker volume, brightness, and satellite aquisitions are very adequate. You can do map updates from TomTom for $10 each quarter if you want to. That is a good feature since things are changing fairly quickly with new subdivisions, etc. and it’s done 4 times during the year. This is cheaper than Garmin’s charges. The only drawback is that this unit does not tell you the street names, it just says to turn in 300 ft. or 500 yards depending on what speed you are traveling.
Piece of junk, horrible warranty service
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
TomTom is without any doubt the WORSE GPS unit/ Customer service / Warranty service of ANY GPS manufacturer.
My first TomTom the on/off switch was so flimsy it would turn the unit on by itself while it was sitting in the car or on a desk. TomTom finally replaced that one under warranty, but the reconditioned repair they sent runs out of battery power after 45 minutes without being plugged in. When turned off fully charged, the battery will be completely dead within a week WITHOUT the unit being turned on.
I called TomTom customer service, and their warranty department tells me they WILL NOT WARRANTY REPLACE a GPS unit that runs at least 30 minutes under battery power. Also, they told me it was normal for their GPS units to run the battery down within a week WHILE TURNED OFF, and will only replace it under warranty if the battery dies completely within 2-3 days while the unit is turned off.
To recap, TomTom warranty says a fully charged battery only lasts 30 minutes, and a fully charged battery will die after 2-3 days with the TomTom GPS TURNED OFF.
So, if you want to be like me and have a hundred dollar paperweight after purchasing it only 10 months ago, buy this GPS for yourself, or even as a gift! Otherwise, I would avoid this manufacturers products entirely.

p.s. TomTom customer service, if you are reading this, my case number for the facts in this review is 091006-000350. I would not want anyone to think I was making any of this up.
Ok, but the maps are too often inaccurate.

I purchased this over a year ago because it was relatively cheap and a TomTom (probably the biggest name in GPS today). After a few times of usage, I found the One XL to be mediocre at best. Even with the updates downloaded online, I found the maps that were used would over/under shoot my destination by as much as a mile. In fairness, this is not ALL the time, but it is sadly about 50% of the time, which is extraordinarily horrible for a GPS unit that you often rely on blindly. I gave the One XL 3 stars because it gets me in the vicinity of where I want to go to the point where I can find my destination myself, otherwise I would’ve given this product 1 star.
Great GPS at fair price
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Pluses: The only GPS that is Mac compatible for updates and downloads. It’s hard to believe that so many devices are still only PC compatible when MAC has a real share of the personal computer market at this point.
Very nice graphics, fast processor, mostly intuitive interface, antenna picks up GPS easily, screen gives a lot of info, speaker sound is excellent, great machine at the price, love the fun voices you can download. Updating and downloading process is easy and quick.
Minuses: Some functions could be more intuitive – eg: I find putting in a new address to navigate to is not a direct and easy process compared with another GPS I borrowed; I’m not sure if the maps are as good as others for the US roads, but they’re OK.
Overall, highly recommended, especially for MAC users, an excellent value and a pleasure to look at.
Super impressed

My first GPS and I am totally satisfied. Made 2 trips recently and
it is wonderful not to have to look for road signs etc. I would
definately recommend the “Tom Tom One XL 4.3″ to anyone.

We recently used this item for vacation. We just loved it.
It helped us from getting lost and we were able to find where we wanted/needed to go.
The speed function also helped us from going too fast over the speed limit.
I would recommend this product for travelers even once a year ones like we are.
The only problem with this item is I did not update it before we left and there were some street changes made, so actually it was my fault.
Love it!!

Every trip we have taken the TomTom has gotten us there no problem! So glad we bought it!
