TomTom One GB V3

a great product simple to use for get the rest this is the best and simple to use

Ease of use.

non

Very easy to set up journeys and good visual information in use.

Has taken me off the motorway and a main road unnecessarily, only to rejoin a few yards later.

Ease of use, some new features compared to the previous ONE. Updated maps. Smart new interface. Impressive actual speed alongside permitted speed visual display. Satellite reception very quick to obtain. Overall 9/10; almost perfect.

Map sometimes lacks new roads/junctions. £40 approx to download new maps is too expensive. TomTom traffic service too expensive also.

It's just brilliant. There's nochance of you getting lost with it. Brilliant. Colourful. Easy to use. big but not too big. Just overall really good.

no bad points really. may take some time to carry out GPS reading when it can't find a certain place but overall perfect.

Small, accurate and easy to follow. Instructions are given clearly, well in advance.Excellent value for money.

Limited battery life. Okay if you have a cigarette lighter socket but my daughter's car doesn't. I have bought a mains charger for use indoors, as charging from the USB port on a PC takes forever.

ease of use "plug & play"

The unit is neat and compact. it works well and is easily stared in the case provided.

The battery life doesnt seem as good as other items of this size

small & easy to use

No 240v charger.

It was bought for my girlfrind for christmas as she travels a lot with work. She absolutely loves it and nolonger gets lost so can leave a little later without worrying.

None found as yet?

Probably one of the best satelite navigation units on the market. Recommended by a relative who has tried several others.

It does occasionally make errors, not in know ing where it is but in getting road numbers wrong.

Ease of use when driving

Insturction book doesn't tell you where reset it - had to take it to shop. Otherwise would have to send it back.

quite easy to use, once it is setup.

Setup is quite poor, maps need updating!!

Cheap considering they were 400 quid a few years ago

Doesn't always send you the best way but thats a software issue

The suction is not as good as expected - although the old design was larger the ability to ensure suction onto the windscreen was better

Even though relatively small the screen is very clear. Spoken directions are easily heard. I update about once a week and TomTom seem to be ensuring that the accuracy of the device is continually enhanced. Windscreen attachment is brilliant in its simplicity.

Minor point regarding battery use only - I only seem to get around 3 hours before the warning comes on. But since the device can be charged either via the 12v socket or a USB port this is only a minor issue - I suppose it could become more important if either of these options was not available.

Easy to use

Windscreen connector a bit pants

VERY EASY TO USE, NO PROBLEMS WITH SIGNAL, EVEN THROUGH MY RENAULT MEGANES SILVERED WINDSCREEN. GOOD SIZE TO TAKE OUT OF THE CAR WHEN YOU ARRIVE AT YOUR DESTINATION. THE USB LEAD SUPPLIED WILL CHARGE WHEN YOUR AT HOME.

NONE

my holder broke after only a week so i now have to rest if on the seat of my car!!!!!!!

Ease of use and good price point

Takes away the stress if driving to somewhere unknown when you are alone, and for night times. Also it saves wasting fuel which you do when lost. Makes for safer driving because when not sure where you're going you become distracted and also dangerous driving when frustrated....

Haven't discovered any yet, tho' heard a few stories when it is't quite as accurate, no personal experience...yet!

Very user-friendly, easy to use, maps are accurate nice compact unit

None

Very good value for money, excellent size - fits in shirt pocket when not in use. Easy to use and about 99% accurate

Placing on windscreen holder is difficult. Occasionally falls down by coming unstuck. Would benefit from a permanently screwed holder on the dashboard somewhere - similar to a mobile phone cradle.

Very easy to use.Good value for money. No buttons just a touch screen

Several streets I entered either by name or postcode were not listed.

As someone who doesn't know right from left or north from south the Tom Tom has feerd me to go anywhere. Its easy to get started straight out the box and instructions are clear and timely.

Not so good at finding the nearest petrol station - took me up a blind alley twice

Excellent all round Sat Nav - Recently used it in Ireland as went for a short break,,,would have been lost without it....literally. Will be using it in June for the family holiday to Portugal, so will see how I get on with it there ! Easy to use and set up - Ideal for a novice user, have used other makes of Sat Nav for work etc. but would always recommend TOM TOM.

None .....up to now !

Looks good. Compact - can fit into a handbag. Ease of use - plug and go. "Does what it says on the tin"

it dos its job

non that i know of

Good value for money. Established name. Easy to use

Works well have no problems with it easy to use

Works really well in the car and walking. Good screen, battery, size.

There is no memory slot on TOMTOM3 and the current memory is almost full. This means that when you download another map that is not already included (e.g. Eastern Europe) then you have to delete (and store on your computer) the Western Europe maps first, upload the new map. When you return..do the process in reverse.

selection of voices, (Jane is great), really clear directions, speed cameras pointed out

a bit on the small side

Over all this is an excellent easy to use product,(do's exactly what it say's on the tin.),very portable, easily understood directions.

It can take a very long time to pick up a GPS signal.

Easy to use, clear maps, compact,

Some speed limits incorrect, does not show all mobile camera sites,found 1 missing road

easy to use

it gets stuck easily, loses the signal and 8 times out of 10 chooses to take you to your destination in a roundabout way. We tried this using it when we knew where we were going and the route it chose did not make sense at all. overall not happy

Doesn't pick up roadworks even with traffic update. Can't log onto website/home to update. Doesn't save you any time because you spend 3-4hrs fixing the flaws in the product.

Hasn't got me lost yet!

It does not recognise street name easily/at all. You need to have the postcode to pinpoint a destination.

Easy to use,accurate to the point.

nice night color, reroutes by itself if you go wrong direction.

the instructions are not clear enough. I cannot understand if it wants me to take the exit or not. Also, the traffic news function does not work therefore it's definite we always get stuck in traffic.

We bought the TomTom with a visit to Spain in mind. When we collected our hire car and set off from Madrid it was invaluable. The TomTom took us to the door of our hotels and reminded us to drive correctly (on the wrong side of the road) by following its directions. I don't know how we would have managed without it. Easy to use with the address or the postcode of where you are going and can find its own position so you don't need to know where you are starting from.

Every now and then, where roads have been recently altered the TomTom can get a bit confused - keep going and it soon reconfigures and recognises where it is again. (This is probably the case with any system).

very simple to use

not fully compliant with all uk roads especialy back roads and lanes in counrty side

It is easy to use and you have peace of mind if you are ever late and need an alternative route.

Not very easy to store, once you have arrived at your destination. I feel i darn't leave it in car as may get stolen and is too large to carry in pockets or handbag. So if i tend to only take it on long journeys.

Most useful tool to navigate around UK

It only takes house numbers. In the country ( rural areas) houses, farms etc., do not have numbers - hence one cannot narrow down the precise position of a property only a rough location

Stopped me getting speeding tickets on a long and unfamilar journey!

Can't think of any!

Handy pocketsized unit. Clear viewing screen and voice instructions clear and precise. Excellent value for money and every new car should have facility for including in dashboard layout. Good battery life although would prefer a little longer than 2 hours without a re-charge when used as a hand-held unit. The roadside Speed Camera warning addition was a welcome bonus and mos useful.

Screen rather bright at night (unless have misread instructions on changing this) Pity charging cable in-put socket couldn't be made universal with mobile phone charger(s)

easy to use, nice design

has gone wierd on me once so far, stating turn left turn right when there are no roads to turn down. Also has directed me to no entry signs and also has lagged sometimes then you miss turns as it directs you too late, also the suction to the windscreen is not the best, mine has fallen off at least 10 times.

Able to use it right away, a quick read and I was off!

None so far!

Sounds better than expected. The stic on bit is brill.

When you are getting old like me, the first thing to go, (I believe) is eyesight, the bigger the screen the better.

Once the post code is entered it`s easy to enter the address, the map and voice are very clear.

The route took me into a dead end, also the screen is a bit too sensitive. If you touch it by mistake you lose whatever is on the screen.

Godd clear route graphics

You do need some knowledge of the route to avoid being directed through towns rather than round them.

all good

Quite easy to use with little or no previous experience. Good clear instructions which are given at the right moment.

Some of the selected routes are not the most appropriate - particularly when towing a caravan!

Easy to use. Very clear directions in use.

Even updated, there are a few roundabouts not reckonised

It is very accurate and is has a large variety of different points of interest. It allows you to set a colour range which suits you best.

It beeps when you go over the speed limit!!!

clear instructions

long time to lock on to sattalites

Easy to use

Maps out of date, sends you the wrong way and the long way. It does not always make sense. It sends me all the way around the one way system instead of turning right. The system is more than 2 years old so it should know I can turn right!!!!!

I THINK EVERY THING ABOUT IS JUS AS GOOD AS I THOUIGHT.THTS WA I NEEDED SO AM HAPI WIV IT.

NOTHING BAD!!!

Simple to use

Bit slow to boot up sometimes

I lovemy tom tom one, it has never let me down and I have used it everyday for the past month. The suction pad holds everytime and the traffic works when needed.

This is a bit of kit for all drivers (or walkers). Very handy, super and accuratate, its better than my built in one so i wont be selling it.

Does not hold a long charge! If you only have 1 x 12volt point and the kids want to charge a nintendo, not a chance.

Easy instructions for set up and being able to se the product.

None that I know of at the moment.

far superior to previous r.a.c sat nav i bought. Good memory, so easy to use .Exellant product

suction bracket sometimes falls off windscreen

Great product easy to use packed with features

clip that attaches to the windscreen could be better falls of if not moist enough and hard to get of if too moist

Amazing product - small and easy to use - toss away those paper maps!

If not used for a while, the battery gets low very quickly, making you use the charger. Doesn't recognise my house number for my postcode in my Home details.

Very straight forward to use

None

its very accurate, got me from A to B

Ease of use good value for money great online support

Well thought out and works well. Good web support.

Said I was approaching Shoreham airport as I went into the aporach tunnel at Heathrow! Also found a number of other mapping errors.

ease of use. As i am not good with technology i was glad it was easy to use.

Battery doesnt last long enough. if you touch it by mistake the sound goes off as the screen takes you into preferences and turns off the sound. It has tried to make me turn right where there is no turn right on two occassions. Needs a pointer to work it as anyone with large fingers would struggle to input addressess etc and there is not one included. bought a cd with celebrity voices on and could not install them

can update maps if roads change. Doesn't lose touch with satellite too often.

can't upgrade to European maps due to internal memory size. Occasionally inaccurate in journey

Was able to buy maps for other countries and use straight awy

Once you have renamed a favorite you can't see the original detail - causes problems with addresses as you loose the house number if you forget to put it in the name!!!!

easy to use, card is inside the instrument, clear instructions, speed cameras worning

not provided with a case, last minute speed cameras worning.

Fits nicely into a handbag , very easy to use and to keep up to date by conncecting to a pc.

Had one experience where it didnt get me to the address I put in and ended up in a retail park , thankfully I was close to the Premiere Inn I was booked to stay in, It maybe the postcode was wrong given by the Premiere Inn guide book I am not sure, another time it refused to speak on the way home as I found a short cut and I think it got the hump cos I didnt want to go home via M25 , good job I new where I was going because the sat nav sure didnt.

Excellent value as I got UK and Ireland with traffic version for less than the price of the non-traffic version alone elsewhere. Very easy to use. Also easy to personalise by inserting your own preferences and via the Tomtom site. An excellent entry level sat nav

Unlike previous versions can't use an SD card so very limited if you were to travel outside UK.

ease of use, size

sometimes takes you a long way round to your location

Can set different accents. Can upgrade to have traffic information. Can set to avoid particular roads.

Would like to have option to have verbal instructions in metres and speed information on screen in miles. Sometimes the instructions regarding roundabouts are not correct regarding which exit to take.

very easy to use, lots of different features a very good product overall

Sometimes the tom tom takes you down some very small country roads which are not very acsessable.

Compact size. Night colours very useful to stop glare. Easy to use.

Can't find any

Great product, easy to use and lots of features for such an inexpensive model.

Suction cup does not always stick to the window securely and seems to fall off at the most inopportune moments.

All of the above

Not always clear at roundabouts ie counts non-entry roads as exits

So easy and friendly to use , really can't go wrong with this product :-)

yet to find one!!!!!!!!!

very concise and easy to use

Easy to read, easy to use and with plenty of information. Very portable, easily removed to avoid theft and small enough to carry in a pocket. This means that you can sit anywhere with it to program destinations.

The post code method of programming the sat nav is brilliant when it works but has led me to hunt for a fellow TomTom user for over an hour while the post code of the cafe he was in left me unable to find him and the postcode of the burger place I ended up in led him up somebody elses garden path.

Very easy to use. Good value for the price.

The car holder for this is not adequate as it cannot hold the weight of the TomTom and the holder drops off.

As a first time user this product worked far better than I thought it would to the extent that after the first time it was used I trusted it to get me where I was going

Difficult to plan a different route when roads on the planned route are temporarilly blocked.

Tom Tom very easy to use and very clear illustrated directions

Found it difficult to adhere to the windscreen sticker need to be slightly larger

I was very impressed with the product. Easy to use.

None that I am aware off.

very practical and user friendly

none as yet

Easy to use with some useful options. I like the warning for when speed cameras are near. Don't like the fact that the sucker to hold the sat nav in place only attaches to a window.

Cost of adding updates. Would be better if more features were gratis.
