Customer Review: A few pointers
Had this item a couple of months now and while there are certain things that are incorrect on the maps I would suspect that every device will at some time or another will suffer this problem.
Possible solution to the holder falling off is to make sure that it isn\'t directly or indirectly in the way of the air flow generated by your windcreen heater/fan outlet, I have a golf and when the unit was stuck in the middle it always fell off (directly above the outlet) now I have it stuck on the right hand siade of the windscreen out of the way and no further problems with this.
For a change I didn\'t buy mine from Amazon, as my local Halford had it on a promo EU Maps & Speed camera, came with cig charger & home charger) £170.
With regard to support, use the tom tom website login and its all there, anything that isn\'t there will usually take 2 days for them to respond to. I found them generally speaking very helpful, others that I have spoken to having nothing but praise for them.
Only draw back I have found so far is that it won\'t do handsfree calling, although it will do the bluethooth plus service (traffic etc) I see this as being a bit pointless. Maybe a quick software upgrade could fix this?.
Overall I would recommend it as someone else said using this and a little common sense you can\'t go wrong
Customer Review: NOT SO GOOD AS THE HYPE
The service is so bad it is non-exsistant.The staff make up answers by each phone call.No Product Card Number in box for future down loads,TomTom can not help and staff dont know what to do.Western Europe Edition is a nightmare.OK, I know some routes are good, but going from Ilford to Dover Via A127 a mile away and the M25 it gets to the roads on the map screen after 3 hour\'s of trying, then on to the M25, it brings you back to South East London Via the A13 to start again.OK for some one who knowe\'s the area,as I do, but there are People who go round for 100s of miles trying to get to Dover.I would never buy it again, or recomend it to any one. A good A-Z and UK map is far Better for Every one.Yes it is good on SOME routes but get a bad one and your in the River.Dont waste you Money Chaps and Girls. Barry

Customer Review: It\'s a computer after all
The TomTom One is a solid piece of kit with a quick and strong connection to satellites.
The Software interfcae is an absolute doddle to use.
I have used it in West and East Europe. Yes, there are map inaccuracies, but if you don\'t panic and just use your head, these are not a major problem. You won\'t get lost. The savings in petrol are easily worth the cost.
Next Week I will use it to drive around a pre-set itinerary in California. I have set-up an itineray using a free planner (google for Tyre), that includes all sites we want to visit. Amazing.
Cons: The PC software is buggy and can be difficult to work with, but it\'s not necessary. The map pricings are inconsistent, and yes, they could be updated more frequently.
Customer Review: ok but
It looks good and directions are clear. What is hit and miss is whether you get up to date maps. I drive in Germany and my tom tom has out of date maps. Wouldn\'t mind if it was a month or so but the road i\'ve noticed was new 9 months ago.A friend of mine bought hers a month before me and is fine so be warned. I got in touch with tom tom and because it was about a german road they replied in german, not good. Amazon have offered a refund but do i chance buying another one.

Customer Review: Third time unlucky
We are just about to take our THIRD Tom Tom 510 back this time for a refund. After moving to a new area and borrowing our friends 510 we decided to invest in one. The first one froze after 3 days leaving us with a white screen. We returned it for a replacement only for the 2nd one to freeze after a week after turning itself off. We took that one back for a refund but after looking around at the other Sat Navs on the market decided that we had perhaps just been unlucky and maybe it was the shop that had a bad batch (yeah right!). We went to a different shop to purchase one and for 8 months now have had no problems...until we could not turn the 510 on one day. After ringing Tom Tom I was asked if I had ever updated using Tom Tom Home (I had not but didn\'t realise I had to!) so after being assured that this was the answer to all my problems I tried to update. And failed miserably!! Where does it say that you have to update using your PC for the Tom Tom to work? And why hasn\'t it mended my Tom Tom?! I also tried to reboot it using the little whole at the back but this didn\'t work either and why should I have to do this??!! Therefore the Tom Tom will be going back (thank goodness for the years warranty!!) and we will be trying another brand. I hasten to add that none of our Sat Navs came from Amazon but I wanted other users to heed my warning!!
Customer Review: My honest opinion.
I\'ve had this particular version now, for about 3 months and would like to share my thoughts ...
1st off - if you read other reviews you\'ll hear a load of complaints, let me put my perspective on things;
- Car mount cradle. So far I\'ve had no real issues. It can be a bit fiddly to actually mount as you have to twist part of it to lock it into place, but I\'ve done it a few times now and takes no more than about a minute. I\'ve had no issues with its rigidity or the unit slipping at all and have been satisfied with it in every way.
- Taking a while to lock on. Recently a quick-fix has become available which you can download through the TomTom Home application on your PC. I update this every few weeks or so and it\'ll acquire a signal in a few seconds. 1 word of warning though (as with most GPS devices) using it inside of buildings / tunnels can mean a loss of signal. But if you\'re using it for what it\'s designed for, you\'ll be fine in my opinion.
- Screen brightness. I\'ve only once had an issue trying to see the screen and that was on a very sunny day and it was shining right on the face of the unit. Can\'t do much about that, but to be honest with it speaking the directions, you should be able to pretty much get about until you turn away and the sun shines elsewhere.
My gripes;
- I was hoping for a sat nav, which contained a list of the mobile sites as well and designated them as `hot spots\' or something, so I at least had an idea. Thankfully I\'ve not been caught yet as I\'m pretty sensible, but it\'s a bit of a pain in my mind. I would like to say that the marketing literature says it\'ll do it, so perhaps I\'m missing a trick, but I can\'t see where to turn this feature on (if it exists).
- Speed Camera updates. You get a 1-month trial with the unit, thereafter you have to pay a yearly subscription - so be warned. Also, they really aren\'t that up to date with any of the road work cameras you get all over the place now. Classic example is the road works on the M1 between junctions 31 and 32. It\'s a 50 mph average trap and the cameras TomTom says are there have been moved further up or back and it\'s a bit of mess. Overall a little disappointed with this aspect.
- Bluetooth phone support. If it\'s not on their list, expect problems. The amount of times I get it working for several journeys and then inexplicably it stops working I\'d hate to think about. Usually means deleting it from the TomTom and then re-setting the connection up. Most frustrating.
- Mapping. It\'s a bit hit and miss again. My example is on the A1 when it meets the A1M right at the top of the M1. The road must have been changed well before I got my device as although the whole system looked new, you could tell it\'d been there for a while. TomTom thinks you\'re in a field for about 5 miles, which is quite annoying. Also, I was in Liverpool the other week and it told me to turn left at the top of a road, when it\'d been closed to traffic turning in that direction. Again by the looks of the central reservation blocking me, it\'d been there for a while. Also, the speed limits of roads can be a bit hit and miss.
All in all, a pretty good unit with some flaws. Is it worth buying ... if I had my time again I\'d likely go with a Garmin or a Strabo, but I\'m not rushing out to buy a new one, when I\'ve got a good few years of use left in what is otherwise a pretty good product.
