Tiny, but Tough
A sleek design and a sharp display combine to make the TomTom ONE-S a
vital companion on the road. The ONE-S 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-S can be
installed easily 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-S 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-S 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-S also will 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-S 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-S 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.
TomTom 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.

Customer Reviews
I am satisfied, good price for a good product...
I did a lot of looking around for a GPS unit and finally decided on
the TomTom One S. There were a few things that the TomTom did that I
really wanted.
1. Text to Speech. It tells you the name of the street you are
about to turn on. I like that feature a lot. Only down side is that it
only works with "Tom" the computer voice. The other voices do not offer
the text to speech capability.
2. Sending Mapquest directions straight to the TomTom. I love
Mapquest and I use it all of the time whenever I am planning a trip out
of town. So sending destinations straight to the TomTom is a big plus
for me.
3. One free upgrade after purchasing. One thing I didn't want to
worry about was buying a GPS unit and then turning right around and
having to pay more money for updated maps. I bought this unit, plugged
it into my computer, downloaded the TomTom Home software and a few
clicks later, it informed me that my TomTom already had the latest map
updates installed. Wonderful!!!
4. Mapsharing. I am a geek, so I like to tweek and piddle and
customize my gadgets. Having the ability to change/edit streets and
locations on the TomTom was a plus. But then to hear that I can get
those types of updates from other geeks like me is a big plus!!!
Now I read a ton of reviews on different models of the TomTom and the majority of the problems people were having were:
1. Speaker not loud enough.
2. Problems updating the unit.
3. Street names not being spoken aloud.
4. Having to manually turn the unit from "daytime" background to "nighttime" background. (other units do this automatically).
5. Not enough Points of Interest.
I drive a full size SUV that is older. So, lots of road noise, lots
of in-cabin noise. I adjusted the speaker volume all the way up and I
can still hear the TomTom well enough. Now if I have my radio on, I
can't understand what TomTom is trying to tell me but if I am trying to
pay attention to directions, why would I have my radio on in the first
place?
I have had no problems updating the unit so far. (knock on wood).
When I first started using the TomTom, it did not say the street
names. So, I checked the instructions and it mentioned that only the
computer voice allows spoken street names. So I went into preferences,
voices and scrolled through the list of voices until I got to a voice
that specifically said "computer". Once that was selected, I began to
hear all the street names I wanted to.
Having to manually turn it from day to night mode. Sure I can
understand people that have had other units in the past that took care
of that for you and are used to it. So having to do it yourself takes a
couple of clicks, big deal. Is that no different than changing the
station on the radio? Or making a call on your cell phone? Or putting
make up on? I think sometimes people complain simply because they can.
Not enough points of interest. I have heard that other units are
known for thier millions of points of interest. Can't argue with them,
the TomTom doesn't have million's. But it does have the ability to add
them, which I think is helpful. Just cruising through the list of
points of interest to add was interesting. I added Fith Thrid Bank
ATM's and BBQ places in AL to my list. I like to eat good BBQ and I am
going to have to stop at an ATM to get money to pay for it so I am all
set there. :D
All in all, for this being my first GPS, I like it. I probably
won't even utilize all that this unit has to offer so I would for
around $130, I am getting my money's worth.
Now maybe down the road after using this unit for a couple years, I
may find that a more expensive unit with more options may be the route
I take but for now, I am happy with this unit.
Great Gas Saver!
When we were searching for a home, it found the easiest routes to
each one. Looked at 15/20 a day. If your moving to a new place its
invaluable!
Really happy with the product Tomtom one-s
This is a real good one. I had been looking through reviews for GPS
systems and this one realy suits my needs. The spoken street names is
awesome and you can confidently steer. Good for the first time buyers
as I am one of them :-). The product was shipped fast and my unit had
the latest map updates as well. So out of the box and ready to go.
