TomTom ONE 130 GPS Navigation User Feedback

“I had to pay just $60, after adding shipping cost, which I feel is dirt-cheap for a GPS. The screen is only 3.5 inches, which I feel is comparatively big for the price. The only drawback I feel is that the text to speech function does not tell you the street name.  So when you have to take a turn, it just says, turn to your right, without saying the name of the street. If you are traveling alone, this can be a major drawback. Still, I like it as it is simple to operate.”

“I bought this product as it is cheap and has many features. I found the speaker to be loud as well as the screen has good resolution. The major drawback is that the maps in the GPS are not updated, as facility to upgrade maps for free is not applicable to refurbished units.

The GPS has only 1 GB memory, which does not leave enough space to record points of interest.”

“I got a refurbished model, which looked as good as new. This GPS has all the features that one could ask for. TomTom home helped me to update the maps for the refurbished GPS for free.

The best feature I liked is the ease with which I could enter the address, beginning with state and then city. By the time you enter the street, the GPS will start prompting when you enter a few letters, making it all a child’s play.”
