TomTom ONE European version is out
Published on August 31st, 2006 in gps navigation, reviews, tomtom
Two weeks after the release of TomTom ONE North America, TomTom introduced European version of ONE.
There will be two versions available for Europe. One containing all the maps of Western Europe (£ 269), the other containing only regional maps (£ 199). From the outside they both look the same but keep in mind the maps of Western Europe is provided by Navteq, the regional maps by TeleAtlas.
With the renewed ONE, TomTom has succeeded in producing the unit at a lower cost, without sacrificing any quality. The ONE New Edition is an excellent entry-level model navigational system, sold at a very sharp price. The device excels at it’s primary function: guiding the driver from A to B. Important elements for this are: the big and clear screen, loud and clear vocal commands and ease of use. Add the beautiful design, the manufacturing quality and the quality of the GPS reception to that and you’ve got a clear winner.
Things we didn’t like were the limited charging possibilities and battery capacity (only 2 hrs on average), and also the lack of a home-charger. Besides that, the lack of an upgrade possibility with an external TMC antenna was also not a good idea in our opinion.
