TomTom manufacturers some of the best GPS (satellite navigation) units on the market, and the ONE is no exception. It's been an impressive performer for several years now.
With the ONE, TomTom has stripped the features back to the bare minimum, which means the unit is smaller and sleeker than previous TomTom models - something that style-conscious drivers may be influenced by. In fact, it's small enough to carry around with you as a pedestrian.
Another bonus is that the ONE is more affordable than the more comprehensively featured GPS devices.
Like other TomTom GPS devices, the ONE runs on the SiRFStar III chipset. It features 32MB of memory. Most GPS units from all manufacturers run off map data supplied by Sensis, and the ONE is no exception. This information is supplied on SD cards that you load into the slot on the unit.
The TomTom is definitely an entry-level unit. Unlike some higher-end GPS devices, the TomTom ONE does global positioning and nothing else - no music, no movies. It's easy to operate thanks to the touchscreen and also proves to be very accurate, which is obviously a necessity with any GPS unit. The ONE definitely out-performs its very affordable price tag.
