[lewisx20x20x20]

sounds like your driving a tank lol

[lamg281079]

yo compre un tom tom one y no me sirvio soy de curnavaca morelos y muchos lugares no aparecian era como si estubiera en el desierto no me salian caminos y eso que esta muy poblado y casi no hay lugares solos

[TheChemist187]

Does it re route you automatically if you miss a turn?

[dcarico]

It does re-route. It takes maybe 6-8 seconds to re-calculate. Toward the end of this video, I intentionally take a wrong turn to show you how it adjusts.

[Dyadantumbe]

ok i got this devise for $40 from ma friend...is it worth it? or should i return it?

[dcarico]

@Dyadantumbe I can't answer that actually . . . I no longer have this unit, as I have moved on to a model 920. If it's in good condition, works, you need a dependable GPS, it's prob worth $40. That's just my opinion however. You can buy new ones with similar features for around $100

[Dyadantumbe]

@dcarico cool man thanks for the info

[xMixemup]

can you turn off the voice?

[dcarico]

@xMixemup Sorry so slow to respond, as I never got this comment in my inbox. You can control the volume and turn it all the way off.

[xMixemup]

@dcarico this actually came at the perfect time lol im going to pick up mine today and was still wondering, thanks : D

[rscosworthfan]

i have this model and its excellent the only drawback is the screen size when youre tapping in a street name etc the letters are very close together, i did find a way round this problem however just use a stylus pen from a nintendo ds works great

[VAMIRACING]

ive got one. the automatic zoom function is REALLY REALLY ANNOYING as you cant switch it off. when cruising through cities, you cant keep the overview ("am i driving towards the center or away from it??, is there a lake close by or will a highway cross soon etc) instead you get details on the next corner only.

[jayguy173]

so thats why i had to slam on my brakes when someone ran the stop sighn

[TecmoBO34]

I have the tomtom 130 - is it possible to get those "realistic" looking freeway signs/lanes on my model? I keep seeing advertisements for tomtom that show green freeway signs that look realistic.

[Wallenstein]

You blew a stop sign at 1:14, another at 1:20, exceeded the speed limit by 17 mph at 1:43, went through another stop sign at 2:08, but ended up at your destination. Epic TomTom video.

[pb4life31]

i love mine its def worth the money

[Stevepayne1994]

One thing to Recomend... Download the 'Mr.T' Voice on the TomTom Website... It's funny as Hell... 'Turn Left Sucka'.... Turn Right At the Roundabout Fool'... I love it!

[delliswierd]

@Stevepayne1994 Haha, wait, this has Text To Speech?????

[Stevepayne1994]

@delliswierd Yeah it has text to speech, you can download a range of celebrity voices, some cost you but some are for free aswell :).

[delliswierd]

@Stevepayne1994 Great, I have one and its great!! Except 1. The battery wont hold a charge (Can I get a new one?) and 2. When I turn it on after I unplug it for a few hours there are white horizontal lines, I tried restting it but to no avail( can this be caused by the battery)?????

[Stevepayne1994]

@delliswierd - If I were you, I'd check the 1 year warranty as the horizontal lines are the first sign of pixilation failure; this will eventually lead to the screen completely failing. Send it back and say your concerned, also, mention the battery issue as they must give you a new battery, as part of their policy for 1 year. - Sorry for the long reply, lol :)

[delliswierd]

@Stevepayne1994 Its after the 1 YR warranty :( Can I buy a new screen??

[ballarz23]

it sucks that my state has it illegal to mount your gps on the windshield, I live in minnesota

[tmorales509]

Pretty nice, i can get one of these brand new for $50, i should get it. :)

[dcarico]

If you can live without Text to speech, I would think you aren't going wrong for $50.00

[akny007]

what exactly is text to speech

does it just read off street names as you pass by?

because this gps was also "speeching"

[indy79]

yes, it reads the street names

[delliswierd]

@dcarico This is w/o Text To Speech???

[kenisimoo]

@tmorales509 i need one for 50 $

[DanFrederiksen]

good video. bit of a drag that the destination was a hospital though

[dcarico]

I was visiting my dad who had heart issues, but we all expected him to recover. He didn't . . . He passed two days after I posted this.

[jer0701]

Glad he survived during the christmas holiday but not new years 2008..

[lnetol]

Great video man!

i was thinking about buying the XL-S model but i was afraid that it was kinda laggy

but for what i see, it´s very good indeed :)

thx for the video man

cheers from Brazil

[GS1ER]

whats the difference from this one and the tomtom one 125?

[djzzero]

I needed this demo, thank you for showing it. Now i'm going to buy because I want sure if this had Point of Interest, but it did. Thank you very much! Great video.

[moomar1]

Dude. you're supposed to stop at a stop sign!!!

[Chipoid86]

Just bought my dad one of these for Christmas and he was so chuffed with it! Though he hasn't had a look yet but I think he's in for some fun. From all the reviews I've been reading it seems this make and model seems to be the easiest and most efficient to use.

[kmacnumber2]

I just received one of these for christmas and it is awesome. The directions are right on. It also tells you your speed and if you are driving too fast on the highway it flashes your speed in red. Kinda cool. Well worth the money. I also like how it tells you the names of all the cross streets before you get to them, this is good for when your driving at night and have trouble reading the signs.

[bigcraig61]

Pepboys will have it this Fri for 69.99 just know thats it is a refurbished unit with a new wrranty, Amazon has it right now for 79.99 no tax free shipping and a free leather carrying case worth 27.15, I ordered mine on Amazon.

[CUBANO76]

pep boys will have this gps for $69 on friday. Ü

[Shakeitupyes]

how come you turn right at the end, then left instead of following through taking a right... it was kinda neat that you did though because it updated the rout needed.. was this your plan?

[dcarico]

Typing in that Hospital address was going to take me below that parking garage. I knew that I was planning on parking in the garage, so I bailed from the directions when I got close. I knew that doing so would show how the Tom Tom adjusts when you veer off course.

[Shakeitupyes]

Alright thanks! That was great. I may have to get one of these =)

[isaaccade]

Dude, its not a may. How dare you?? ITS A MUST! :D

[KemJas]

dcarico....what mount are u using? where can i buy it

[dcarico]

It was the mount that came with it! Garmin's look a whole lot more secure, but the factory mount has been fine.

[ten8goa]

So far, this is the best vid of a tom tom in action

[dcnutter]

I agree there...this video is cool. Nice job dcarico.

[dcnutter]

I can't even begin to tell you how much better the Garmin Nuvi 255W is compared to this GPS. I'm so glad I got a Garmin instead of a TomTom after seeing this video.

[dcarico]

The Nuvi 255W wasn't even available when I puchased this unit! And today the 255W retails for TWICE what I paid for the One. I hope it is indeed twice the unit my Tom Tom is . . . You are comparing a 1965 Ford to a 2008 Chevy . . The one has been replaced with the 130 and it retails for $200. Considering price, is your 255W $100 better than the 130? That might be the better comparison . . .

[dcnutter]

I would still have to say yes for the following reasons.

1) Larger display

2) Text to Speech (tells me which street to turn on...not just turn right or left etc.)

3) On average...twice the battery life.

4) I prefer the screen layouts of the Garmins compared to the TomToms

I'm NOT saying the TomTom GPS models aren't good or bad. I'm just saying I feel I made the right choice, and your very well done video helped confirm that to ME. It's a matter of preference...that's all. Cheers!

[stegopainx2]

dcnutter, Garmin users get really screwed due to lack of frequent updates, and lack of MapShare. Garmins are very plain, have very slow re-routing, and can't compete with TomTom's features. And you're not very smart for comparing a 225W to TomTom's MOST BASIC MODEL of GPS. Try comparing it to a 930T, THEN start talking. Sorry, you've made a horrible choice and don't worry, that horrible choice will catch up to you pretty quick :) Good day!

[dcnutter]

No, you're not very smart for ignoring what I have said in all my posts. I wasn't comparing features, I was talking about the interface and screen layout which is the same on ALL the TomToms. It's ugly, and that's my point. The rerouting or "recalculating" is extremely fast on my Garmin Nuvi 255W. You obviously haven't used one.

[dcnutter]

For the record, some of the TomToms that cost more than the Garmin I bought still don't have the features that included with my Garmin, and the battery life is still half that of the Garmin. Sorry Buddy, buy you're the one who is screwed, and made a bad decision.

[autofied]

A lot of users prefer the interface on the TomTom's. When you pin TomTom vs. Garmin you're basically running in circles because there's fanboys that swear by both brands. I've used a few Garmins, and own two TomToms, and for my needs, TomTom suits me- especially TomTom Home for my updates. For the record, I have a ONE V3, and the much more feature-rich GO 930.

[dcnutter]

It's funny because I only expressed my opinion for my own personal satisfaction, and now the fanboys that you speak of have nothing better to do with their time than to try and convince me that the Garmin I bought is terrible compared to the TomToms. They both do the job...some people take this stuff way to serious. I'm not referring to you though autofied. Have a good day.

[autofied]

Agreed, different strokes for different folks

[dcarico]

I have a good bud who has a nuvi 350. I LOVE IT except for one feature . . When you navigate off course, it announces "re-calculating". It acts like you have really messed it up, vs the Tom Tom, that just recalculates on screen as if nothing happened. I asked my bud if he could turn that feature off and he said he didn't think so.

[dcarico]

I have said in another video here, the Nuvi battery life is something to consider. Both companies make fine GPS units, no doubt! For a low cost unit, I LOVE my one! It navigated me from Colorado to Tennessee without a hick-up! For a sub-$150 unit, I don't think I should complain! When I replace it however, I will certainly look hard at what Garmin has available.

[KemJas]

lol nicely put

[KemJas]

i received the tomtom one130 for free....i was gunna sell it but after seein this vid im guna keep it nd set it up in my car

[stegopainx2]

It depends on when you buy the map. Sometimes they have sales on maps. I just bought my TomTom ONE XL 3 weeks ago, and it didn't have the latest map. TomTom has latest map guarantee, so I got a free update to the latest map. To purchase maps, it may run from $50 to $99. It kills me that many GPS units charge us to update maps.

[narutobboy]

iam trying to change the language to english doese anyone now how ??

[Macinabit]

car engine sounds nice and meaty!

[kubotaman2004]

I have one of those GPS Devices. It Works really nice

[joefileman]

Thanks Duke! Looks good. I just ordered one a couple of days ago. I like how the recalculation appears seamless. My friends Garmin keep repeating "recalculating" in what seems to be a peeved voice once we veer of course. LOL

[Leon84]

I don't like the 3D view...I prefer the 2D map with the North heading up.

[Met182]

Do these tell you the speed limit of the road you're using? I thought they did but couldn't see any notice of it on the display..

Thanks.

[rracin66]

i think it just tells u if ur speeding.

[Met182]

I bought and and though I've only used it once (still learning how to drive!) it did tell me the speed limit when on a road that was 40mph or higher. Pretty cool.

[stegopainx2]

Yes it will tell you your current speed AND the speed limit (in most areas) and will turn red if you are speeding. I don't know if it's the same with this unit but I have a TomTom ONE XL. The speed limits here in Tampa vary ALOT and I'm surprised that my ONE XL knows the constant changes in speed limits, meaning, it'll be 45MPH max here but in 1/2 mile it will be 40, and in 1/2 mile it will be 45 MPH again. It will tell you when the limits change.

[Met182]

Yep I bought one a week after my post hehe...It's a very good feature.

[bicyclewreck]

Thanks for the vid! Did you roll through that stop sign? ROFL.

[podi2006]

i bought my tomtom v8 yesterday 179 euros. it works nicely

[gamelegend03]

i was looking for a gps system to buy, but could not deside. after seeing your video it made it easy.

[autofied]

The pricing on the TomTom ONE 3rd edition has dropped a lot since the ONE 130S recently launched. I'm interested in the ONE 130S for its text to speech feature. Definitely a must have feature on any GPS, and you really can't go wrong with TomTom

[StormCloud44]

THANK YOU! This was very helpful, and I am now convinced that a GPS will work for me and my complete lack of a sense of direction.

[NightSociety]

Ok. After viewing several TomTom One 3rd Ed. I went and purchased during work lunchtime and got a clearance at Target for $138.98 after Tax $150.83, not bad compare with Amazon new&used. First time use, it took me a long route home and the device tells me to turn into a Dead End street! Not really accurate, street been there for years. When I got home I downloaded the one-time free from the site, will try again if the map hopefully it helps.

[SicVic426]

do u live in VA?

[piNkkbaBy26]

damn...finally someone who actually showed how the GPS system works! THANK YOUUU

[xMasterQueefx]

This was great. Thank you.

[theskattalitte]

ive been looking for someone that took the time to make this vid, awesome dude. thanks. imma get it today.

[raidersin2007]

text to speech is a great feature especially with the hot voice...also its not as obtrusive as some of the other out on the market.

[dcnutter]

This model does not have text to speech features. It has what is called Voice Guidance. Some...like mine have both voice guidance and text to speech.

Text to speech is when the GPS tells you to turn on a specific street name. For instance...instead of saying

"Turn left in 500 ft" with text to speech it will say "In 500 ft, turn left on Walnut Ave.

[Lancaster1977]

this has been very helpful thank you!

[pavelow235]

Very informative thanks for taking the time to perform this service!

[firemac2d]

Perfect Demo I needed. Folks bought me one and I wanted to see if I should exchange it for something else. I'm thinking I'll keep it.

[begona1983]

Muy buen vídeo. (*****)

[aperkins254]

exactly the demo i wanted to see. I'm getting the tom tom xl. I'm a young driver so when i go into the big city i don't wanna get lost. It's glad to see that its fairly easy.

[lowincash]

i just bought this and it's pretty good. kinda weird when i was on the fwy it tells me to turn left a few times...then i noticed it wasn't a straight way and had some turns haha still cool i like this thing =D

[promoman1313]

I like the sexy voice. LOL. I like my Garmin.

[pdxDavid]

Thanks for taking the time. This is just what I was looking for.
