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.

Customer Review: bitter sweet?
I have to admit overall I have come to like this thing, and have recomended it to a freind. The list of bad things; when I come home and pull in the parking lot it tells me to turn around (silly not a real problem), it wants me to go around the block because it thinks my driveway is blocked by the median (usually it is good at knowing, but this is close), it did not know a bussines address (I think it is set up for private residance), It is picky about the city choosen for streets and addresses, I got a tour with two construction closings in route. I suppose you are wondering why I gave it such a good review. Well you can change settings to watch speeding (usually only good on freeway with acuracy of limits), estimated time of arrival, compass, quick reroutes if you “miss or ignore” directions, volume controll, touch screen, gave me valid suggestions I have not thought of before, keeps me from spacing out and “just going strait”, it was cheap, it came with everything I needed (charger, mount, unit), it totally saved me on tolls by taking the “no tolls route”, I found out that my cars speedometer is off by about 3-4 mph, I can see the names of street before I get to them, you can go to a “cross interection” for addresses that dont work or have, the construction is a charge item and the rerouting would have happened regaurdless of if I used the device or not, shows gas stations, can store home and favorite locations, when typing it pulls up lists of choices like “w” would pull up wisconsin, and wyonming ect. If the voice gets anoying you can turn it off, it tells you what lane to be in (even though the way it talks about the freeway lanes is funny). All maps have some form of errors, missing streets and proposed streets that never got built. I have not plugged it in for updates yet, because for the most part it seems fine and the silly things are usually pretty obvious. Maps dont show parking lots or driveways either no wonder a simple computer gets confused when you are “off roading”. I’m sure their is better out their, but for the price I can figure this one out.
Customer Review: Good simple navigation system
No complaints. Good simple to operate system with all the basics at a good price.
