There's no real competition!  Sent: 21 December 2008
The TomTom ONE is, for the occasional or semi-frequent user of satnav the only way to go. Plug it in, and off you go. Intuitive to use - does exactly what it says on the tin. It has bigger brothers with more bells and whistles, but unless you are 'on the road' as part of your job you probably wont need those. This does the job - nicely.
Take a BACKUP before you do anything!  Sent: 01 December 2008
I suppose this does what it's supposed to. I do get annoyed when it says 'right turn ahead', because what I actually *hear*, is 'turn right'. OK, so that's my problem :/
However, the bigger problem is when I tried to install updates. OMG! Nightmare. The whole system crashed, and it's a real good job I had done a backup first or it would have been a case of having to return it.
Even then, trying to get support to get the thing to work again was a task in itself.
Also had a problem with suddenly not being able to search by postcode, and had to download a zip file to fix it.
This is not my best friend.

TomTom ONE V3 Satellite Navigation - Western Europe
I bought one for myself last year, just before Christmas. I don't own a car, but hire a car as and when the need arises. Found that car hire companies make an extra fortune if you want to hire a satellite navigation device, ranging from £10.00 or more per day and it soon all ads up. Found that I could save myself a lot in the long run by investing in a sat nav. I also prefer being able to personalise the device for easy navigation, which I found a bit restricting when hiring a device when hiring a car. I'm so impressed with the TomTom One v3, that I bought the same one as an early Christmas present for my brother, who just moved to the UK. The TomTom ONE v3 is good value for money, quality, compact and a good investment in the long run. I charge it through my computer when I update the programs on the device etc. and I also use the charger in the car when travelling long distances. I haven't found a problem with the battery (if fully charged) short distance, however if your journey is more than 2 hours, charging whilst driving is necessary, which I don't particularly find problematic or an inconvenience. Charing when using for longer periods is essential with any electronic device and I don't see why it should be any different for a Satellite Navigation device.
Suggestion: Can the company selling these devices include the carry case as part of the package in future...
