Tom Tom works [Posted on 2008-08-16]
This product is everything I hoped for. After the recent loss of my spouse, it has enabled me to travel alone with confidence. It is not a distraction; I rarely look at the map. Having the streets and highways pronounced is essential for me. I've missed a couple of turns but "Suzie" has directed me back on course with ease. At age 69, I have no difficulty hearing instructions. In city traffic in unfamiliar settings, it is a comfort knowing well in advance the distance to and the direction of the next turn; it eliminates sudden braking and the risk of being rear-ended.
Terrible POI database [Posted on 2008-08-26]
Though the TomTom One XL-S is easy to use, the POI database is just awful. According to the data, my city has no Barnes & Noble, Sears, Payless shoe source, Toys R Us, Lowes, Zoo, Aquarium, Cultural Center, Mall or grocery stores. This was the result even after updating the map software and down loading the 'retail stores' file from their web site. It left me wondering what else it had omitted. I have returned the TomTom and went back to a Garmin.
For those whom say it doesn't read street names... [Posted on 2008-09-08]
I just purchased the tomtom one xl-s (the unit itself only says xl not xl-s, BUT when I power it on, it says xl-s on the opening screen) and was going through a lot of trial and error with it. Some say that it doesn't say street names; I was having the same problem. I found out that you have to use the 'susan' "computer" female voice only, not in combination with the 'human' voice because if you do that, it will not read the street names. If you use susan all by herself, she reads the street names. The xl unit does not read street names but the xl-s does. Go see the chart on the product page here and it will show you that. I've also been going through heck trying to see if this thing "dings" when you're about to make a turn; for this price, it should have all the bells & whistles!
TomTom Really New? [Posted on 2008-09-08]
The Tom Tom I bought as new was missing seval excessaries. Company said they would send them. I'm still waiting.
The Tom Tom made a noise when removed from packaging. Contacted Tom Tom Company, They requested I send it to them. Since one area of the Tom Tom was missing a cover over an area, They indicated that the unit might have been a refurbuished unit and not new.
Excellent Buy [Posted on 2008-10-07]
Have been most pleased with the TOM TOM ONE XL-s. Was a great time saver in finding my way through rural, south Virginia to a road race course in the middle of nowhere! Highly recommend this unit for most basic, auto, GPS needs. Plan to buy a friend one for Christmas!
