TomTom One GPS mini-review

Good things:
  1. Entering addresses is really easy.
  2. I love being able to go off-course while I'm driving somewhere, and then have it steer you back on track.  With my old paper directions, if I left the course, I'd be in trouble.
  3. The British voice is neat-o.
  4. Using it to get around traffic jams makes it completely worthwhile.
  5. You can tell it when you want to arrive, and then it will tell you exactly how late you'll be at all times.

Bad things:
  1. It doesn't tell you about some turns, because it has it labeled as the same road, even though it's not.  And it tells you about some turns that aren't turns at all.  You have to look at the screen to see what's going on sometimes.
  2. Some of the wacky NY/NJ crazy interstate intersections confuse the hell out of it. 
  3. It thinks there is a toll going from CT to NY.  There is not.  One-way tolls aren't that complicated, are they?
  4. Its estimates for driving speeds are too low, and I'm not sure how to change them.
  5. It's got a battery (for some reason), so you have to remember to turn it off when you leave the car.  I wish it would shut off when the car power cuts.
