Terrible POI database 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.

Tom Tom works 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 ...

Great Product I am having this GPS for last 4 months. I think this is a Good GPS, do all the basic things right. I have no complain with the pronounciation or time for satellite signals, everything seem reasonable. But I felt the maps are not always updated. The other day I wanted to go to Minneapolis and it took me to the route where the bridge was collapsed so I had to find an alternate route. I am not sure how to correct a map I thought a normal map upgrade should do the trick. Other than that I am happy w...

Great product The one xl-s is a great navigation tool. It is loud, bright, and gets you where you need to go. The satellite connection time is amazingly fast. The only problem is that sometimes the route it tells you to take is not always the smartest in terms of traffic and traffic lights. However, you'll get where you need to go regardless of which route you take. Sometimes the route it takes you on is actually faster than your preferred route.

Love My Tom Tom XL ONE This thing is great. I just love it. I really like the way it automatically finds your alternate routes when you detour off your main route. My only complaint, and it is very minor is that it can sometimes be hard to read in bright sunlight. Buy this one it will work great for you.

I call mine Tootsie! Since the voice I chose to use is female, I've renamed my TomTom XLS "Tootsie". We took this on vacation to New Jersey and were never lost. I also use this to get to locations in the "city" since I live in a suburb and don't know the city streets very well. And, OK, I'm directionally challenged and have finally admitted it. I now save face by showing up on time. The extra features I enjoy: car speed (apparently my speedometer is incorrect by 3 mph); estimated arrival time. I'd give this a perfec...

Well Rounded GPS unit This GPS unit seemed to fit everything that I needed: (i) it had a large screen, (ii) it spoke out turn by turn commands, including street names, and (iii) its software was available for macintoshes from the tomtom webpage. The product does all the basic GPS functions well, as do most modern units. These include 2D and 3D maps, spoken warnings for turns, and millions of points of interest. The additional "S" in this unit signifies that it has text to speech capability for road names, this com...

A very annoying piece of equipment with many many problems I bought the TomTom One XL-S for the larger screen and text to speech capabilities.
I first tested a Garmin 260 text to speech model, but the screen was too small to see at windshield level.
I was very surprised at the ease of use of the Garmin and the problems with the TomTom.
Both acquire satellites and plan routes with good speed.
However the TomTom One was full of undocumented software problems, omissions, inability to find correct routes and ordinary ...

This Navigator is GREAT! It's easy to use and I love the touch screen. I'd highly recommend getting a TomTom if you're interested in a navigator.

A great piece of technology at a great price The Tom Tome One XL-S is the first GPS I've owned. What a useful, fun and easy to use piece of technology. Free map updates, a wide range of free sounds, voices, wallpapers and icons, an easy to use interface...what's not to like!
I've read some of the complaints here, and honestly don't be swayed away. Most of the complaints are experienced no matter which GPS you are buying. If your device isn't leaving you enuf time to change lanes, you're driving too fast! The computerized voice...
