- Garmin feature missing from TomTom units
- I replaced a Garmin C330 with a TomTom One. In general, I like the TomTom but am very irritated by one feature I took for granted with the Garmin: the TomTom device is unable to navigate to some favorites you have saved. If the location is not close enough to a road it recognizes, it refuses to let you navigate directly there. I complained about this to TomTom support, hoping I was doing something wrong and they wrote back: "The location on the map that you saved is not on a road that the TomTom unit recognizes. Therefore it can not take you back to that location. You can set the favorite at the closest road location to the parking lot. However you can not save the actual parking lot as the location as it is not a road." This is a design flaw. You shouldn't have to think about the closest road to a favorite location. If I get another GPS, I don't think I'll get TomTom.

- Awesome
- I got my TomTom ONE a couple weeks ago, and every time I use it, I just love it. I love the added features, like the 'Where Am I' and 'Points of Interest'. It is very easy to understand and use. Definitely recommend it for the price that it is. Awesome little thing that fits in my purse and gets me from point A to point B without much hassle. The only problem I have encountered is mounting it. The sticky disk doesn't want to stay on my dash, and the suction cup doesn't like my front window. So I have my co-pilot hold it, or set it in my lap while I drive.

- This thing rocks!
- The Tom Tom One 3rd Edition is a great buy and easy to use. It has all the usual features of a lower-end GPS that gets the job done, but it has some unique tools available through the Tom Tom website that other manufacturers such as Garmin don't offer. Updating maps is so much easier than a Garmin, and other users of Tom Toms can upload information to the website that's available for anyone with a Tom Tom to download to their Tom Tom, which is really cool. Name brand restaurants, stores, state parks, and neat things like the Kentucky Bourbon Tour are available for download free of charge. After owning a Garmin and finding that updating the map in it is a royal pain, and then finding the Tom Tom tools that are so helpful I'll never own anything but a Tom Tom.

- 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. - 2008-10-14, 0 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
