Review on TomTom ONE Navigator Discontinued Manufacturer by Lakeisha Butler

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Still not loud enough

I chose this for Cross Drive and it's great well served that purpose well. In the age of Google Maps and the iPhone, I've often expected a device to allow me to pan the map and easily search for nearby restaurants. In fact, it doesn't, nor is it advertised as a device to do so. But remember, it's easy to expect more these days. This is a bare GPS that has worked flawlessly for me in that regard. There were a few times during my trip where he recommended walking around the block to get to the street when it was easier to walk straight there, but this is perfectly normal for the GPS and didn't disrupt the show in any way . .audio problem. 1. The voice is too quiet to hear even in the street noise, let alone listening to the radio and talking on the phone. 2. At the maximum setting, the speaker quality is so poor that the voice you hear sounds like someone is speaking through plastic wrap. very distorted and very tinny. These complaints are well explored in other comments. My other complaint is that the way we type addresses is not standardized compared to how we type addresses on the internet, it's a bit the opposite. First you type the letters of the state and wait for it to offer you the best matches, then you enter the city and wait for it to offer you the best matches, then you type the letters of the street and wait for them the best offers matches, then enter the street #. It would be better if I could just type in the address as a full address using the QWERTY touchscreen keyboard and narrow it down from there. Would save a lot of time. The term "many" is of course relative. The software is great and easy to update. There are many other free voices you can download and they are all pretty cool. Give me the two-touch slide interface and simplicity of Google Maps for local search and I'll buy it.

Pros
