What is the difference between TomTom ONE and 3rd ed.? What are the improvements? Any feature got cut?

The TomTom One LE is available at BestB for $149.00 today, 11/26. It has Bluetooth and an SD card slot. What's missing from the Navcore 7.x operating system for the new version 3 is the Manage POI function and the Itinerary menus - dispensed with in order to get Map Share and Help file. You can create a custom menu to get the Manage POI and Itinerary functions back (but you'l lose Map Share and Help). You can restore those when you need them by simply renaming the custom menu file through the Home 2.1 application. Go for the LE, if you can get it.

Does the TomTom 3rd have a Address Book where you can add the most common places you go (Favorites) and they will always be there. (Like Magellan Roadmates) If so are these stored in memory and lost if the battery goes down or turned completely off? I would use them for trips and putting in the info I want prior to leaving and then just making contact and following directions to each destination.Does Tom Tom have the ability to automatically adjust course to get me to the destination when I make a wrong turn?

The bigest differene is you can update your own maps. For a fee, you can upgrade your current maps. I didn;t think the older models had voice quidance. I think you need a $125 cable for the real time traffic data.

I have a Garmin 255W and a TomTom XL340S. I am giving my daughter the Garmin and keeping the TomTom. Both are great units but the TomTom blows away the Garmin with useful features. The Garmin's voice is better as the TT has ploblems with Spanish street names. If I were to choose I would choose the TT but the Garmin is very good so whatever you choose, you will be happy.

I wasn't able to create my own route with multiple way points on this unit. My old TomTom is the XL and I downloaded the free Tyre program that works with Google Earth to create itineraries. Tyre works with TomTom and Garmin and you can create an itinerary with lots of waypoints or stops. You can also edit itineraries you already have on your TomTom. Needless to say I bought the VIA 1605 but returned it. Like you I wanted a unit I could create my own itinerary with lots of waypoints.

Sorry, I can't answer that as I don't have a TomTom unit. Recommend you contact seller.

They were not very current when the unit was made, perhaps ~1-2 yrs old at the time. The 3000T is ancient by today's standards. In fact, even when it was 'new' it was not very impressive compared to its peers! Also was unstable and locked up frequently. (the underlying OS was an imbedded Windows from what I recall) Unless you're getting this unit for FREE, I'd suggest staying away and getting something better like a Garmin. Forget about support from Magellan. Just my 2 cents as a former owner of one of these.

I have a Garmin 255WT and TomTom 930. Two totaly different models. The 930 was or is their top unit. The 255 is more of an entry level. When traveling size can matter. A smaller unit can slip into your pocket if you decide to walk in a part of town instead of drive. The TomTom has more features (not difficult). I can view the route by text so if I lose satellite I can still read how to get there. The Garmin does not. The TomTom holds more destinations I have visited than the Garmin, which helps because I go back to some locations - but maybe not for a month or more. The lifetime traffic feature (that's why I bought that model) in the Garmin helps calculate delays. The Garmin is extremely accurate in arrival ETA but doesn't tell me how far I am from my destination, only time until I arrive. The Garmin has Bluetooth and when enabled I can get the address and phone number of POI's. The TomTom is not compatable with my mobile phone. In my area of Southern California I use the Garmin more because of ease of use and creation of Favorites. When I am travelling further from home or to a totally unfamiliar area I use the TomTom. I had to return the Garmin within a year because the battery did not hold a charge. Very good return process. Glad I had a spare. The TomTom battery went out after about a year and a half but again good return process. Both took about 10 days to get the replacement units back.

Sorry, haven't tried to do that, so have no answer. My first thought would be to go to the TomTom website and research their downloads. Good luck.

How do you get the TomTom 1 XL to read the maps that are on the SD card? I have extra maps on a 2GB Sd card and the TomTom 1 XL says that it cannot read them. I would be grateful for any help here.

I really can't answer. I only had my TomTom for a couple of weeks -- it had issues. I bought another Garmin instead.

Good to hear that those instructions worked out -- I should be able to figure out what is going on w/ the cut-off speech of the street names.Can you tell me if your TomTom is cutting off only some of the street names, or is this happening with all street names?

I purchased the TomTom one XL and I am completely satisfied. It works great. I certainly do not miss the "text to talk" feature and love the large screen which is easier to see while driving and creates less distraction. Directions are perfect so far. The TomTom is quiote a bit less expensive which is nice and can be purchased at discounts on Ebay and Amazon. I bought mine from 6th Ave Electronics on Amazon and received it in three days with great communication. Check for a 95% or higher feedback rating before you buy, to get an honest dealer.

The TomTom 920 is a far superior product. Far more feature rich. I highly recommend it.

I'm sorry, but I can't answer that question. It might best be addressed to TomTom itself. All I know is that I got qn updqte this week. To be quite honest with you, though, I don't use the product. The first one I got was defective, the GPS that I got to replace it sent me hundreds of miles out of my way, and I concluded that good old paper maps work better for me. For in-city sites, I use Siri or a free GPS app on my on my iPad. I would say that the TomTom was a waste of money but I will donate it to my son-in-law when he comes back from Afghanistan. Maybe he will be able to use it.

I am shopping for my 1st GPS. TomTom 340TM is supposed to include free maps for the life of the device. How can they refuse to upgrade the maps on your refurb? slloyd1000@verizon.net

I did not hear the TomTom say street names, all I heard was you have reached your destination. But I did not change any settings or upgrade any features because there would be an additional fee.

GOOD NEWS! And THANKS for the update, A. Cox. TomTom - clearly - has "heeded the call"! (In my own defense, my experience with TomTom is over three weeks old, and a LOT can happen in that time.)I also agree - to a large extent - with Cox: side by side, I'd probably pick the TomTom over the Nuvi. However, I have not experienced the problems Cox identifies. My decision to go with the Nuvi was based largely upon TomTom's position of mid-December. And - for me - the SD card feature of the Nuvi gives it an edge over the TomTom. But like I said, that is a completely subjective preference.

I did a lot of research on the GPS navigation devices available from 4.5" to 7". I tried all of them that had demos in the stores and had owners I knew let me work theirs. I found it to be a matter of personal choice as to what one likes or dislikes. Also, one can read through Amazon's and others customer reviews. I like the features of the TomTom devices. I've owned a TomTom 4.5", two 5" and now the VIA 1605 TM 6", which I would not trade for any other one. Do your research looking for the one that has the features you like and meets your needs. Keep in mind that those who own other brands are just as passionate about theirs. bob I did a lot of research on the GPS navigation devices available from 4.5" to 7".
