 Good little Gadget with minor software faults June 29, 2009

The Tom Tom One is a great little Gadget and I am so surprised that I hadn't bought one earlier. Just one drawback appears to be the preinstalled software. I have owned one for about 6 months now and the device had been working absolutely fine until a couple of weeks agao when I was trying to navigate out of a town in Leicestershire. All of a sudden the device started losing the GPS signal and became useless for an hour or two. Over the next few days, this became more and more of a problem before losing all its ability to locate a GPS signal. When I returned home I emailed Tom Tom and they sent me details on how to delete certain files and reinstall the software. This has now fixed my Tom Tom. It's just a good job that I own a PC and am able to carry out this fix.

The Tom Tom ONE v4 is a first class item. Although a Sat-Nav entry level item, and thus reasonably cheap, it has all the necessary built-in functions you need for successful navigation. I have used this item for over a week now, and found it to be an 'excellent driver's companion', and I cannot fault it in any way. It is easy to use, and don't forget to connect it to your computer for updates. Additionally, using Tom Tom HOME (software downloadable from the Tom Tom site) you can carry out many basic functions. Additionally, using Google Maps in conjunction with Tom Tom HOME you can download locations you want to visit (ie: locations such as Forde Abbey as opposed to town names) directly into 'your Tom Tom favourites'. I recommend this item !
My first Sat Nav and pleased with the choice August 20, 2009

Only driving locally, whenever we wanted to go for a good drive or a trip, I always had to plan the route beforehand and write down directions on a paper for the main junctions and roads to look for. Once there, if we wanted to travel a little further out, I had to look in the atlas, which I was forever buying just to keep the roads up to date. After getting lost one time on a fairly straightforward route) I decided to take the plunge and buy a navigation aid. There are plenty of manufacturers all after your custom, and the various models making choosing the right one a little tricky for the newcomer. I asked a lot of friends what they used, and most had a tom-tom or were going back to tom-tom after trying other makes. This made the manufacturer easy, and as I never would drive outside the UK, this one was the choice I made.
The screen is a nice size (although smaller than the more expensive models, but price is also a consideration) and the menu is very easy to navigate. You can route to a full postcode search, not just the first 4 or 5 digits of the postcode, this makes getting door to door a breeze. Setting the volume limits and tones will take a few minutes only to get the desired levels you need. The suction holder pushes against the window and the TomTom clips on the holder to make a sturdy mount, and because the unit is on the window, you should get a clear satellite signal. This makes the screen easier to see, so when approaching a junction or intersection, you can also see where to go on the screen as well as being told, very handy.
If you are at a place you want to go again, you touch the screen and press favourites then add to favourites. You can then give the place a name and it is all done for next time. You can then just navigate to a favourite place. I have put in all the theme parks and places we go. On a journey, if traffic is bad then you can just press the screen and touch find alternate route. I tried this out coming back from holiday, the motorway signs were saying very long delays ahead. We were 3 junctions away from where we come off and decided to re-route. The TomTom told me to come off the motorway and took me through all places I never been before, but it got me home avoiding all the delays.
Very pleased with the unit so far. The only real gripe that I have is that the battery does not last long. Without the power cable in the car, the battery would last probably 1-2 hours. This means that you could not use this outside the car, but then again, thats what I had it for.
This is my first SatNav so cannot compare it any other makes, but would recommend this unit without hesitation.
 Great Tom Tom June 21, 2009

Great Sat Nav, got it brand new, good packaging, great product, easy to set up and the twist suction pad on the back is great - not a chance of it falling off your windscreen! For a tom tom, cheapest I could find on anywhere on Amazon.
Battery drain when not in use August 4, 2009

This may be useful if you do not use your ONE v4 for more than a week and wish to conserve battery life.
Apparently the Power button on the top of the ONE v4 is used to switch the unit ON or put it in STANDBY mode. It does not actually switch off the ONE. This is why the ONE v4 starts so quickly normally.
The unit will continue to draw battery power even when in Standby mode. The battery may be depleted after a week or three when using v8.01x software.
ONE v3 owners have reported similar problems and the solution is to reset the unit if you wish to switch it off (Resetting does not delete or change settings)
To switch off (reset) the ONE v4:
Switch on the unit first as you would normally do.
Once it is running, now hold the power button down for exactly 15 seconds.
The unit will now switch off.
(Do not hold the button down for more than 18-20 seconds because the unit will come back on!)
To check the unit is switched off, press the Power button for no more than 1 second. The unit should remain 'Off'.
To switch the unit back on from its fully powered Off state:
hold the power button down for around 3-4 seconds.
The unit should now start up.
You should see the TomTom logo and hear the familiar drums.
It will take up to a minute to start up.
