The TomTom ONE 3rd edition happens to be one of the best selling PS navigation system around. Though it is an updated system, it remains one of the complete solutions of GPS with incredible range of features.

Since I got it the TomTom ONE, is an extremely important traveling partner to me. Where I go it goes as it has the complete arrays of pre-loaded maps.

The TomTom ONE has an accurate location with superb map detail. It is able to inform me what lies ahead, weather a tool booth or even an intersection. At times it is able to provide me with alternative routes if I wanted to avoid a toll booth. It is my best buddy and believes me; I will not get the respect and courtesy from any other device.

Most people say that this is one of the best entry level devices around and I agree. Even tough it is an entry level; it does come with a complete solution with an incredible range of features.

One of the interesting features is that it gives clear and accurate instructions. I find myself not taking my eyes off the road, as the instructions are clear. More amazing is that the device comes in over 30 languages, so you can choose the one best suit you.

Another feature to note is the safety feature which is impressive. It has a “Help Me” button which enables you to call fall help, get you to the nearest police station or hospital or show you first aid. It is also fitted with a custom alarm when you are approaching high safety areas such as school or if we are driving above the set speed.

The only downside that I found is that TomTom ONE has a short battery life. It has only 2 hour which I believe could be improved upon.

TomTom ONE XL 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator

This is an updated and revamped model from TomTom. The TomTom ONE XL obviously has more going in comparison to its other sister before her.

I wanted something that would be able to give me a simple navigation system, but with the entire extra features of a GPS Navigator. Of course the TomTom ONE XL has a very much improved design with wider screen. It is fitted with the GPRS system and option real time real based traffic information.

What I found interesting is that with TomTom ONE XL, is designed to get you to where you need to go. It gives you fairly easy directions, driving navigation, your mileage and also your speed as opposed to the speed limit.

And when you are traveling faster, it has auto-zoom feature where the map kind off zooms out. Which is great to see what is ahead of you especially when you are on highways and so on.

The ONE XL also provides extremely clear voice instructions for every turn, which is great as you do not have to take your eyes off the road when driving. The best things that I found is that the sound from the device adjust to the volume of my engine.

For example if my vehicle’s engine becomes louder or quieter as depending on how I change my speed, the volume adjusts itself accordingly. This gives me a clear and easy listening to my TomTom ONE XL.

The one set back that I have encountered is that it does not have an easy menu button for us to tap and view other alternative roads. It does not allow us to look at other roads that appear on the screen. That I think will help us better to know our surrounding area.

The TomTom ONE XL has definitely improved and it makes sophisticated technology simple to understand and use.
