TomTom PLUS services give you the latest traffic and weather conditions. You can also download additional city maps, voices, points of interest, and much more.

The device's icon-driven menu system makes using the ONE a snap.

Once you've input your destination, the ONE quickly calculates the best route.

You can even change your route to avoid traffic and roadblocks. But it's not just the broad geographical coverage that makes the TomTom ONE special. The user-friendly design also puts it a step above other navigation systems. The crystal-clear multicolor display makes for exceptionally easy viewing of maps, routes, driving directions, and other traveling information, such as mileage and distance. Measuring 3.5 inches, the TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 240 to provide brilliant two- and three-dimensional graphics. The device also features 32 MB RAM and 380 MHz CPU, making it responsive and zippy. Using the USB port and the provided cable, you can use your PC to add your own points of interest.

ONE provides clear and accurate turn-by-turn voice instructions, so that you don't have to take your eyes off the road while your vehicle is on the move. Voice instructions are issued at a speed-sensitive volume, so as your vehicle's engine becomes louder or quieter as your speed changes, the volume adjusts itself accordingly, guaranteeing clear and easy listening. And because voice instructions are available in over 30 languages, just about anyone will find the TomTom ONE to be an invaluable system.

With its touch-sensitive screen, the TomTom ONE puts programming and operation literally at your fingertips to make sophisticated technology simple. The built-in database offers thousands of points of interest for you to use as destinations or reference points as you plan your trip. ONE will also provide a selection of available routes, giving you the option of avoiding toll roads or choosing between the quickest or the most scenic routes. The database includes zip codes to simplify your route selection, and for extra convenience, the TomTom ONE lets you save the addresses of frequent destinations, making route planning easier and faster than ever. Other display features include a compass mode to assist you with directional orientation, and an anti-glare screen for optimal viewing even in direct sunlight.

For additional navigational features to assist with trip planning, the built-in Bluetooth connection provides access to TomTom PLUS subscription-based services, so that you can tune in to the latest traffic and weather conditions, as well as download additional city maps, voices, points of interest, and much more.

Weighing less than 10 ounces and measuring 4.33 x 3.5 x 1.34 inches, the TomTom ONE can be easily installed in any vehicle. An included windshield suction mount holds it in place. Plus, with an operating temperature range of an icy -10 degrees to a sweltering 55 degrees Celsius (14 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit), the navigator is durable enough for New England winters or Arizona summers. The TomTom ONE is powered by an internal lithium ion battery that can be charged from your vehicle's cigarette lighter with the included 12-24V adapter.

What Customers Say About TomTom ONE Portable GPS Vehicle Navigator:

I have seen other Tom Tom's that have a "No Destination" or roaming type mode, but mine does not seem to have it. I have let friends and relatives borrow the system as well, and they have loved it. The only issue I have with it, is that I can't figure out how to leave it on when I don't have a necessary destination. Not Sue Sue, Tom Tom. Other then that, I am very happy with my Tom Tom. It is accurate and clear with the verbal direction cues. I purchased my Tom Tom One three years ago and I am very satisfied with the results. I am also happy with the way the system will auto adjust if I miss a turn or an exit.

It keeps falling off the windshield. Most reviews and product descriptions of portable navigation devices seem to center around the navigation features, the ease of use, the clarity of the display, or the accuracy of the directions. The one that comes with this TomTome One is flat and just doesn't perform its most basic function very well. Other navigators that I've seen, including other TomToms and Garmins have better designed suction cup designs with a little clip of wheel that pulls the center of the cup away from the windshield creating a stronger attachment. I've found all this to be quite OK on the TomTom One. After having used myTomTom One for over 3 years, the one thing that has bothered me most is the suction mount.

Might as well buy a new unit (Garmin) when looking at the cost of map update.Screen brightness is either daytime or a really bright night setting even when set to minimum.Computer interface is pretty much useless except for being sold more software. Map updating is expensive. I have used a Tomtom One for a couple of years. Estimated times are always much longer than your actual time.

I dont know how other products stack up but ive found this one to want to drive off to no where too many times.Just wrong.

But beware that you will be charged for data access from your wireless carrier.Based on my experience with the TomTom map quality, I will be replacing this unit with a Garmin next time. With an older phone, such as a Motorola RAZR, you can receive data updates. TomTom provides great usability, but my experience is that the maps are highly inaccurate. Unfortunately, purchasing updated maps is almost as expensive as buying a new unit.The traffic updates require a bluetooth data connection and will not work with the iPhone (AT&T and Apple prevent using the iPhone as a bluetooth modem).
