User Review: 2 out of 5 stars - Not your best TomTom
I first tried the TomTom One 3rd edition, and although it worked rather well, it did not have spoken street names, a feature that I find very important. I returned it and ordered the TomTom One 130S since it seemed like a good price for the features offered. I noted that some of the earlier reviews were not favorable, but that the later reviews seemed to indicate that problems had been fixed, so I took the chance. Big mistake. This model should never have left the drawing board. Although this model has the "text to speech" feature that provides the spoken street names, the voice is so indistinct that it is difficult to distinguish "turn left" from "turn right" even when the volume is up all the way. After more research, I decided to order the Garmin Nuvi 360, and I have been very pleased with it. Perhaps a different model TomTom would have been better, but stay away from the 130s.

TomTom ONE 130 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator

We have used the GPS a few times now, and it is has been reliable and correct. Without reading the manual, my family and I have had no trouble figuring out the menu items.



User Review: 4 out of 5 stars - Great for my first GPS
This was my first GPS, as I got a great deal I wasn't going to complain. The TomTom is really easy to set up and use. The voice is easy to hear, as long as you don't "crank" your radio. The only downfall I find is if I go off the beat path, the first thing it does is try to get you back on it, and living in a crowded surburban area, most of the time I do that to avoid traffic.



User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - Good and an excellent tool for the traveler
Over the last year I have used my Tom-Tom to travel over 5000 miles in my motor home. It is an excellent tool to travel the road the only thing it could not do was lower the gas prices. I wish it had a bigger screen but for the money it is an excellent buy and I love the British accent



User Review: 4 out of 5 stars - Volume
I like almost everything about this device. It's small enough to carry. I purchased a specific car holder device (extra but worth it) which very much adds to the convenience. The one flaw is that I can barely hear the instructions. This is expecially true when I have the radio on.
