TOM TOM ONE £199

[snorky]

see that PC world and currys are doing the TT1 for £199 at the mo....

[combemarshal]

I also obesrved that, after I bought my One from currys a few weeks back, may see if they'l honour there price promise!

[combemarshal]

Make that comets!

[elderly]

Don't forget that the new TT1 has just been announced in the U.S.

[ultimasimon]

Bought my ONE from ebay with scamera updates included for a month. Price? £215 delivered, thought that was good, but this is even better as teh updates are only £2 pm.

Great piece of kit

Cheers snorky

Just been down to my local Currysdigital and made a purchase.

As much as it pained me to hand over the cash to such a rubbishly named establishment

[b2tus]

Any of you guys know if you can download European maps onto the TT1?

[negative creep]

you can but will need a bigger SD card! Officially you can only get them from Tom Tom, but you might have some joy on torrent sites

[snorky]

I've heard that you need to register the maps with your device somehow...so may not be as easy as a straight copy

[ultimasimon]

Yeah I'm having that problem at the moment

[scrote]

I would rather pay more at a different shop than use PC world.
if it goes wrong they won't want to know,
just tell you to ring tom tom

..which of course by doing they would be infringing your statutory rights as a consumer...

I see that a new version is out at the end of this month the TomTom One V2 and looks a lot like the Indago (ie looks better than the V1) - full europe coverage for £269

[combemarshal]

Yeah, I just see that on Ebuyer, looks loads slimmer, and I thought the One v1 was loads slimmer than the Std tom tom's why do they always bring out new/reduce the price after I 've bought it!

Mine may go on Ebay!

So can you use a tom tom ok in the UK, if brought in the US and is there much of saving? I imagine you'd want to delete the Us maps and upload UK/European ones.

FYI, the "original" TomTom ONE has a 380MHz processor in it. The "new" TomTom one has a lower speed processor, something like 266MHz.

Now: whether that makes a huge amount of difference I don't know. The upshot could be that for a marginal decrease in route calculation speed you get a huge increase in battery life for all I know.

I've just bought the (UK) One V2 this week and so far it's miles (well 3 versions!) better than the PDA version I've been using. Seems good value at £199 and the free traffic trial is proving more useful than I expected. I think the manual quotes a 2he battery life, but I'll check.

Interesting they have taken almost 10 months to come down to the same post christmas price I paid back in Jan 2006 for mine.

If you dounload the TomTom update application from their website, there is a new version of the maps and the core application, with more phone support for bluetooth connectivity.
New software has additional functionality, a safety lock and also the option to pin number protect it.

New software also gives the option to put an arrival time and it will tell you what time to leave.

I have a subscription to the UK traffic. its quite good at displaying congestion / road works, accidents etc.
