User Reviews about TomTom ONE XL 4.3-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator

I've owned this product for over a year at this point. Let me say that this is a complicated product to review for a whole bunch of reasons. Basically, there's some good, some bad, but overall it works.

Let's start with the good. The price was really good in my opinion for the feature set it offered vs other GPS on the market, at the time. The input is fairly intuitive and for the most part, the touch screen is very responsive. If you have an itch for dunkin donuts, this GPS will help you find the nearest one to your current location, and I've used that feature a lot. It finds all airports via the airport code no problem and other points of interest if they happen to be loaded in it's memory. It's very sturdy and has taken a beating, literally, multiple times (see "the bad" below). The TomTom online features allow you to download some fun features and I myself have gotten the Yoda voice which is pretty funny to listen to (and it drives my wife nuts).

Now, onto the bad. My unit is probably defective, but I like to call it "character". On ocassion, it likes to press buttons on its own. There is a certain point on the touch screen that will repeatedly "click itself" as if you were pressing the screen yourself. It would happen so that you couldn't type in an address or it would randomly shut the sound off while you were driving so it stopped warning of you of where you needed to turn. This is a bad, bad thing. Out of my frustration of this happening for a few weeks, I punched the touch screen repeatedly while yelling at yoda. It miraculously started to work again, for about a week. Shortly after that, the problem cropped back up and my next solution was to press the touch screen as hard as I could with my thumbs. I actually thought this would break the unit but I didn't really care. Oddly enough, it once again began to work after I did this (as an engineer, I believe a mis-contact was made via dust or some other particle in the screen touch assembly forcing the unit to think someone was touching the screen). Whatever the case, I haven't had this issue since trying to break it, and it has been well behaved since then. There is one other "bad" worth listing - it seems that the maps in East Peoria, IL were way out of date, by about 10 years. It got me pretty lost at one point and I had to rely on my droid's google maps to get me back on track. I have never had that issue prior or since, but it's worth mentioning for new buyers to be aware that it could potentially occur.

Overall, I'm "happy" with it. It gets me where I need to go 99% of the time and it is very sturdy from a handling perspective. My wife got a garmin with more features and that is a great GPS, but for the price you can get this one for, I'm not sure it's justifiable if you only care that it gets you from point A to point B. -- Has a mind of its own

The product arrived in a timely manner however I was anticipating suction for the window to be included but it was never mentioned on advertisement -- Review TomTom One Xl

The item was listed as new. The price I paid for it should have been new. When we contacted TomTom to do the update, they informed us the unit was a refurbished unit. . , , , -- new purchase onexl
