Sunday, March 1st, 2009 at 3:05 am

The tiny TomTom One, although the basic TomTom GPS model, offers exceptional quality and the most important devices that the higher end models have. The clear multi-color screen makes maps easy to use and easy to see. The device shows routes, maps, directions, and travel information like distance and mileage. A compact 3.5 inches, the device’s resolution still offers a 320 x 240 with two and three dimensional images on its screen. A surprising feature in the TomTom is that you can add your own POIs. The device will allow you to plan all your stops ahead of your trip and will give you choices of routes you could choose from. For example, you could choose the most scenic route, the route with the fewest toll roads, or the quickest. This TomTom logs your recent trips, and it includes zip codes to help you both program your device faster and to calculate your destination more accurately. You won’t have to worry about glare with this model, plus this one has a compass to orient you. The TomTom One 3rd Edition gives you voice instructions for every turn in over 30 languages. You can listen to many comedians’ voices for free with some other downloadable ones available at a small cost. A particularly useful feature is that TomTom modulates its voice according to the speed of the car. If the road noise gets stronger, the GPS gets louder, and vice-versa. An excellent additional feature that makes it good for every driver, even the elderly who might have problems with hearing. You might not know that TomTom has an easily reachable Home site that allows them to update the newest maps and software for free. You can also download funny character voices plus celebrity voices for use with your unit. It can help you pre-plan you itineraries, and get traffic alerts as well.
