5 Stars tom tom one
My new tom tom one XL-S is really cool, i could not be more pleased.

3 Stars Tomtom one XL – refurbished – problem
The device is really good. Widescreen and text to speech really makes the difference, and for 100 bucks, even better.

The first one i bought came with defect, but i returned to amazon and they gave me back the money. Good returning policy.

The latest map garantee came expired, and after some anoying time sending receipt and system info to tomtom custom service they upgraded my map once. Tomtom service was not good (my experience).

Besides my bad luck, and some support issues, i recomend this product.

4 Stars Great, but don’t try and update your maps…..
I got my refurbished One XL, and it worked fine out of the box….then I tried to update my maps on the web site…during the download process, it destroyed all my maps, and when I turned it on, it thought I was in Guam!!!!! Then it didn’t recognize that I was in the U.S., and refused to be reset and refused to let me do anything to try and get back to normalcy.

I finally called their toll free number, and spent about 1/2 hour with the Customer Service. Thankfully the representative was able to fix everything and get me back to the “good ol’ USA”. It’s now working fine….

Don’t try and update your maps!!!!!! It’s a disaster!!!!

4 Stars Great Value!
Can’t beat it for the price! Nice BIG screen, and over-all easy to use.

The updating over the internet gave me some problems to begin with, but the website walked me through the steps to get it working properly.

5 Stars Tom Tom One XLS
The Tom Tom One XLS is very user friendly. I used it three times before it disappered. (but, that’s another story) I liked the original so much I have ordered a replacement. (this one will not disappear) I had not used a GPS before using the XLS, and was able to use it within an hour after receiving it. I was impressed with its’ ease of set up and operation. Unfortunately, I am not able to compare the XLS to another model from Tom Tom or any other manufacturer, but still give it 5 stars. It has all the features that I care about. Before buying the XLS I did some research and feel I made the right choice. The refurbished unit was “mint”. I am anxiously awaiting the replacememnt. Robert

4 Stars Going in the right direction now.
I am very happy with my gps. I never used one before and it arrived at my house just in time for me to take a trip from R.I. to the Boston Garden to see Celtic’s. Took me right to the parking garage without a hitch. And no problem at all coming home. From a guy who needs directions to get out of a phone booth. lol Not Bad !!!

1 Star Worst GPS
Worst GPS! Costly map update, traffic service. It will make you go around the block every single time if your destination is on the left hand side, which is the most stupid thing ever. No lane assist!

Save your money and go with the Navigon or other GPS.

4 Stars Does the job
Accurate GPS navigation unit. Lots of bells and whistles, some useful, others not.

Pros:

Large wide screen

Options

Download user updated maps with speed cameras

Plays MP3s

Cons:

Voice directions only work in North America, not Germany (where I live)

Confusing menu, no back button, sometimes goes back to nav screen from options menu

Short battery life

No case or even small bag (esp at this price)

3 Stars Tom Tom GPS
A pretty neat item. I purchased a refurbished unit and attempted to download new maps as the ones with the machine were 5 quarters old. Got a message saying insufficient space and had to abort and I have been unable to get the download again.

It takes time to familiarize yourself with a complicated device. So far I am quite happy with it and it should reduce the chances of getting lost when you are in unfamiliar territory.TomTom One Third Edition Auto Navigation System (Factory Refurbished)

5 Stars Great GPS
GPS works great. Good value for the money and it comes with both the U.S. and European maps which is great for us since we are living in Europe and then moving back to the States in about a year. The only problem we have had is with the suction cup not sticking to the windshield but when we put a little water on it it seems to stick better.

5 Stars great product
this is a great product. i already had a TOM TOM and had no hasitation in getting this top of the line model…worth the money.

3 Stars Nice features, but quirky and un-refined. Returned it
Got it at a good price ($315) so decided to try it out. Although it has some really cool features, overall I was dissapointed. It felt like I was beta testing a GPS unit. Like it just wasn’t really ready for prime time yet. And no, it wasn’t because I couldn’t figure it out. I am an uber-nerd and gadget junkie. I did finally get the bluetooth syncing to work (despite the lack of help from TomTom) where I could access the internet through my blackberry, but it would only synch the gas prices when it was docked, which was pretty useless. The suction cup mount that comes with the unit is worthless. There were a lot of things that just didn’t work, or didn’t work they way you would expect them to, so in the end, I returned it for a refund. I’m still going to give it 3 stars though, because it’s a nice unit, but I don’t think it’s quite ready yet.

5 Stars Good choice
Compared to Broadwayphoto.com & CameraAddict.com, Amazon is a little more expensice, but it’s fully loaded and no trick. You’ll be asked to pay additional $40 by the previous two sites to buy USA maps. They claimed their lower price is for European maps ONLY, which is not true from their web sites. How ridiculous a GPS for sale in US has no US map loaded!

Therefore, Amazon.com is a honest and good choice for purchasing TomTom GPS!

5 Stars Excellent product
Product worked very well and delivered more than expected.

product support also good. Easy to use.
