The TomTom One is a car GPS small enough to fit in a largish pocket. We gathered the review scores from across the net, crunched them into a gazillion bacon-bits using the Gizmodo supercomputer and put them into a chart: as the awesome CGI indicates, the TomTom One is a stellar GPS navigator for its price. We apologize for any server lagging this may have caused. After the jump, see every picture we could find of the TomTom one, and read our Frankenreview patched together from the best parts of PCworld, PC Mag, CNet, and T3's writeups. (We read, so you don't have to.)
Frankenreviewer says:
-"The TomTom One features a supersleek design"
-"...it fits unobtrusively in your pants pocket"
-But what if we could use a little extra down there?
-"...you might expect certain corners to have been cut. You'd be wrong."
-"...all the maps of the United States and Canada are preloaded on the included 1GB SD card"
-"...packed with customization and other options..."
-True, though no text-to-voice function is sort of a biggie.
-"...took just a few seconds to calculate my test routes..."
"It even knew when to avoid major arteries in the city, choosing faster alternatives on surface streets by default."
"...keeps track of your position in conditions where earlier-generation receivers would have lost signal completely."
Like when you are really lost? Tom Hanks making out with a volleyball lost?
-" You can even get bicycle and walking routes."
That's a great tourist feature. Cities should rent them.
-"...a simple solution for getting from point A to point B."
-"...portable enough, accurate enough, easy enough, customizable enough, and--most important--cheap enough..."
Enough.–Mark Wilson

Alles over tomtom ONE North America review already done | rss feed | toevoegen | e-mail nieuwsalarm | Software Headlines :: Index | 2006-08-19 15:31:10
Here is another PCMag review. These guys are always the first to get their hands on the newest gadgets. Just yesterday we posted about TomTom announcing the release of the new ONE for North America, and bam, today we get the review.The review almost says nothing negative about the new TomTom ONE and gives it 4 out of 5. Listed at $500, ONE packs all the features of its big brothers such as GO 510 and 910 but only lacks in text-to-speech and bluetooth phone interface department. If you dont care about these features the new TomTom ONE is the one for you. It is about $500 cheaper than Garmin Nuvi360 and $300 TomTom GO 910.In my road tests, the ONE produced exactly the same routes for our standard test routes as did the GO 910. I prefer the ONEs map display to the Garmin nüvis. Though the ONE lacks text-to-speech, the voice prompts were clear, easy to understand, and more complete than those of some units Ive reviewed.Source: http://www.navigadget.com/index.php/2006/08/19/tomtom-one-north-america-review-already-done/ Administrator http://www.softwareheadlines.com/modules/planet/view.article.php/27683

The TomTom ONE has been announced today for a U.S. release. This is already looking to be one of the better GPS devices available. The ONE includes a 3.5-inch touch screen, Bluetooth, SiRF Star III, and pre-installed maps, all built into a small form factor. The maps come loaded on a SD card, so it is truly ready for some plug'n'play action. The Bluetooth support allows for hands-free calling. The only complaints from the GPS Review guys is that the battery life is kind of weak and there is no text-to-speech feature. The TomTom ONE is a superb value at only $500. Not too shabby for the features and abilities. – Travis Hudson

Alles over TomTom One: Giz's First Grope, With Pictures | rss feed | toevoegen | e-mail nieuwsalarm | Gizmodo | 2006-08-17 22:43:40
I'm really good at getting lost, and I'm always broke. Which is why I really appreciate budget-y GPS systems like the TomTom ONE (their caps, not my Tourettes). For the 30 minutes I had to play with it, I thought it was a pretty decent set. Some details, and every picture we could find, after the jump.Basically, it uses the same software as the TomTom 910. That means it's one of the most flexible GPS interfaces out there, and one of the only ones easy enough to use while you're weaving through rushhour (Which puts it on par with Garmin). One thing I missed was text to speech, for reading off street names right before you have to turn. And for units of this size, only the twice-as-pricey Garmin Nuvi series has that feature. The TomTom ONE does have a great accessory for the car, though, that Garmin can't match. The suction mount—no joke— is awesome. While most are really bulky, almost bigger than the Units themselves, this one is both tiny, really strong, but at the same time, easy to take off the windshield.– Brian Lam
(Yes, suction mount. Get over it.)
