Votre avis :

There isn't much to say about the new TomTom One that is different from the old one apart from the fact that it's easy to use and will get you to A to B as quick as it can.



With mainly software updates over the original version you would be forgiven for thinking that TomTom is pulling a fast one here and making you buy the same product for what is merely a software update.



Don't worry we thought that too, but it turns out the original version's processor and memory just wouldn't be able to cope with all the extra data and computing requests that the IQ Routes feature uses, so instead of a sluggish unit TomTom has thrown a load more of both at the new model to keep it as zippy as ever.



So there must be some grumbles? Well only that we would have liked the company's HD traffic service feature here so we could see what the traffic is doing in addition to the IQ Routes stuff, but then this is the entry-level model (maybe that is still to come...).



So is it a thumbs up? We like it, we like it a lot, and while you pay a little more than you might for other models it works and for us that is worth the money. Just don't forget that it will cost you an extra £35 for speed cameras and petrol prices.

The TomTom ONE IQ Routes is not quite a budget model, and the version we looked at was the £20 more expensive Europe 42 model, which covers all of Western Europe and major roads in many Eastern European countries as well. If you're just after cheap sat-nav for Continental journeys, Navigon's 1210 remains the best-value option around, and Navman's S30 3D is the best value for UK-only travelling. In contrast, TomTom's ONE IQ Routes sits in a slightly less obvious slot above the entry-level. But if you travel enough to want the extra journey time savings IQ Routes offers, but not enough for a premium sat-nav, it's worth considering.
