TomTom Mapshare MapShare lets you add your own map corrections and POIs, then share them with the entire TomTom user community via the TomTom HOME website.
Even though the ONE, 3rd Edition is TomTom's entry-level portable GPS vehicle navigation device, it remains a complete solution with an incredible range of features.

Tiny, but Tough
A sleek design and a sharp display combine to make the TomTom ONE a vital companion on the road. THe ONE, 3rd edition comes pre-loaded with complete maps for the United States and Canada.

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.

Easy To Use
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.

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 millions 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.

You Can Hear Me Now
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 available in over 30 languages. Tom Tom even has comedy and celebrity voices available, some for free, and others for purchase via download at TomTom's website. One nifty feature is speed-sensitive volume. With this optional feature turned on, your vehicle's engine becomes louder or quieter as your speed changes, the volume adjusts itself accordingly, guaranteeing clear and easy listening.

    5 out of 5 stars tom tom good   October 6, 2008
    Gary L. Gordon (UAE, Abu Dhabi)
    Item was for my daughter, who was just learning to drive, to enable her to get around town easily. It works great.


    2 out of 5 stars Easy to use, but routes are inefficient.   October 5, 2008
    J. Byrne (New York)
    This GPS is extremely user-friendly. Even my 66 year-old father (who was once afraid of catching a computer virus) uses his TomTom with ease.

    That said, the routes chosen by the TomTom are often the worse possible way to get from where I am, to where I want to go. Mapquest and Google Maps directions are almost always different, and better.

    If there's a congested route, it puts me through it. If there's an obscure rural road running parallel to a highway, it'll put me on the gravel. If there's a simple route, I'll be miles from it.

    I use it when I'm lost, and in those cases, it will eventually get me to where I want to go. The selection of voices is fun. I enjoy the British gentlelady, Ms. Thatcher, who regularly advises me to "in 350 yards, keep left, and take the motorway" then "go straight on." But, bloody hell, who thinks of distances in yards?

    It works, just not well. For the money, however, it's hard to beat.



    5 out of 5 stars Wow!   October 1, 2008
    Frances R. Dickman (Long Island, New York)
    Haven't quite figured out all the nooks and crannies yet, but already like this a lot better than the GPS which came with my Lexus. I took a wrong turn yesterday and this little machine knew immediately and tried hard to get me on the right road, but I ignored it because I didn't know I was going in the wrong direction. So far, I love it and highly recommend it. Only one little problem; it won't stay stuck.


    5 out of 5 stars Great gift   September 30, 2008
    Gary Clark (Germany)
    My sister loves this TomTom, and she is technology challenged, so I have to rate it great for an inexpensive model.

    Richard L. Faloon (cleveland ohio)
    Works every time easy to set up and use. well worth the money spent. Could use another glue on disc to hold the suction cup for the mount. I went to a craft store and bought a round plastic disc, put double sided tape on one side. Now I can use the tom tom in both cars
