The Bottom Line: Buy it!
I travel a lot; not only back and forth to work, but for personal reasons are well. Most of my travel is confined to the area in and around London, but that is an immense area. I frequently have to go into the city, or one of the city s many suburbs on a job, or to visit family members. Using the good old maps I often had problems finding my way. All of that changed this past Christmas when my wife surprised me with a brand new TOMTOM ONE XL GB Car GPS Receiver device.
I powered on the TomTom One XLS for the first time, it only took a few seconds to find GPS satellites. The interface was clean, mostly intuitive, and the device was easy to setup. I then selected a hotel from the POI (Points Of Interest) menu and away we went.
A minor inconvenience came up when we were arriving at the selected hotel. The ONE XL told us to turn left when the hotel was actually on the right side of the road. I didn t think this was a big deal since the hotel was clearly visible from the street.
I expect that more expensive GPS units have a lot more bells and whistles on them. But for a simple little tool that does 95% of what all the others do, I give you my strongest recommendation on this one. If you want to find your way around the Liverpool, London or Kent area, this Tom Tom One is a keeper!
