Actual user review:
• "I bought the TomTom One GPS for a cross-country drive I took with my 16 year old son. We'd use it to find the best route from one part of the country to the next. I have a built-in GPS in another car (a Lexus) and we both felt the TomTom worked even better. It was precise, easy to setup and understand and got us where we wanted to go. Given the price, I didn't have very high expectations. We were very pleasantly surprised." - R,Rosell (WA,USA)

• "Great product! Well worth the price. We use this anytime we travel and it hasn't let us down yet. We purchased it specifically for our vacation and TomTom took us from the rental car lot, straight to our condo unit, then to the theme park, to a movie theatre, to another hotel and back to the rental car lot. I wouldn't leave home without it." C.Struab (MN,USA)

• "Battery lasts a long time without a charge. Free map updates for the first thirty days after purchase. Small enough to fit into your pocket and not be burdensome but still big enough screen to navigate effortlessly while driving" - J.Phoe (OR,USA)
