TomTom ONE 130S Car GPS Receiver

Recently purchased the TomTom 130s. This model is one level higher than the 130 version that is part of the ONE series. We recently decided to purchase a GPS system based on a recent trip to Oahu, Hawaii. It was there where we found ourselves lost around town on the first day. When I realized we had a navigation option via our cell phone company, we used it for the remainder of the trip and it became a lifesaver! The per day cost to use our GPS option via our cell phone started to add up. That's when we thought purchasing one for everday use while on the trip would be the better economical solution! Because of this, now any road trip across the country, no matter what city, we can get around without stopping and asking for directions because we have our TomTom. Purchasing one for a flat fee is a better choice versus paying a monthly charge added to your cell bill. That cost will add up exponentially per year. Getting a TomTom or any GPS system now will be 20 times cheaper and it will pay for itself!! Currently we are using our TomTom for everyday driving use and the features on it are great. Not only will you never get lost by using this GPS system, you'll discover "POI's" points of interest you've never known were around your own city. That's what we've currently been discovering! The ease of working the GPS is as easy as using a laptop, a cell phone, or any electronic device you thought you might never thought you could operate. The other day, we had to attend a function in our city at a venue we've never been to before. By putting the address in the GPS, our Tom Tom calculated driving time, gave step by step driving directions to the venue and got from point A to point B in no time at all. Our decision to choose the TomTom 130s was also based on the text to speech feature where a computer voice speaks step by step directions when you are driving. Some lower end model TomTom's and other GPS brands don't do that. Highly recommend a GPS that speaks. The other great feature of our 130s are the different screen views, navigation options, ability to interact with other TomTom users via the upload/download TomTom home computer program you can install on your computer, and the quick touch screen use while using your TomTom on the road. If you've ever thought you'd never need a GPS system even in your home town, I almost guarantee that one day you'll be thanking yourself for getting one!

The main reason I bought the 130S is the very loud voice. I use it in my convertible, and motorcycle. You can display all the info on one screen, unlike Garmin, current spd, posted spd, arrivle time, compuse, for 150 to 200 bucks, you can't beat it

I love this TomTom One 130-S because this one actually says the street names and what street to turn on. instead of "turn right in 500 yards" or what ever.
This is good for me because I can't always look at the GPS to make sure that I'm following it correctly because of he childern in the car.Its easier to here someone say "turn on right on Main street" and then this way you can look for the street name instead of just "turn right in 500 yards"(with out hearing the street name).
I think its a safer product.
I love it.

After much research I bought the TomTom 130S for my daughter. We live in northern Virginia, near the Washington DC area. The roads are often confusing and the traffic is so fast that you must be sure of where you are going. My daughter takes it with her whenever she goes out with friends so she feels confident that she can find her way around in new neighborhoods. She has even learned a few shortcuts in our area. The maps are very up to date and the directions are very clear and give you adequate time before you need to make a maneuver. An example is "exit in 2 miles" so you know to get over to the right and you have plenty of time to make your move even in heavy traffic. Another great feature is the size. It fits easily in her purse so she does not have to leave it in the car. It is easy to enter an address and the TomTom anticipates the street you are looking for after you put in just a few letters. She has not tried this on a road trip yet, but I know it will be a great "co-pilot" for her when she does. Overall, I think this was a great purchase and provides her with the features she really needs.

The item was as described. It was a much cheaper model than listed and was returned to seller. You should always email the seller if you are not famiular with them or if they haven't sold very many items on ebay. As in this case the item was thought to be something it wasn't. So make sure before you bid.

Best buy really worth the money. It's compact and has map and turn by street name.....very convenient

This is smaller than the old Tom Tom ONE yet has all the features anyone could want. Com[pact easy to use. I took it out of the box and Bam it was taking me where I wanted to go. the spoken street names is an incredible feature that takes all the guesswork out of it

I have owned a small business for 28yrs we use gps in all of our vehicles the brand is Tomtoms in all of them it is a name brand that can save you driving time and time is money. Why I did not mark it as Excellent, Map upgrade are over priced.

P.S. For you who that say Tomtom is not perfect {tell me what is in todays market}.

I have a TomTom One, 3rd Edition and like it a lot. I bought the TomTom One 130s believing it to be a significant upgrade from the 3rd edition--and it is, sort of. On the negative side, the 130 is slower to pick up the satellite signals, and is slower in calculating routes, and recalculate them. The mount is different from the 3rd edition which makes interchagability from my truck to our car a bit tricky. On the positive side, it switches from daylight illumination to night time illumination automatically, has a better compass, and shows when you are exceeding the speedlimit on certain roads. I also paid less for the 130s than for the 3rd Edition a year ago.

For a low cost GPS, either the 130s or the 3rd edition will do a good job. Would I buy another TomTom? Yes. But I'd probably splurge and buy the model that has the text to voice capability.

At this time, I cannot comment on the last two products, Tom Tom One 130s, that I purchased, because I had to return them for wrong descriptions of both products.

The tomtom seems to be working fine so far. You did a good job of erasing all of its previous info. Great Item

Easy to use, many options for personalization, excellent product! Very happy with TomTom product and would recommend for friends, family, or strangers. Will use for years to come as it is well made.

im upset i never got the item in time for xmas so i had to rush to a store and spend more money buying another gps!

Above GPS retails around $140.00. I paid $80.00 on ebay. Retail purchases come with the latest, updated, maps. Ebay does not, although the system works with the installed, outdated, maps it costs around $80.00 to purchase these update maps through Tomtom. Go figure!

I do like the TomTom One 130S - i like the text to speach- its a big help calling out the street name - when you are in and area - you know nothing about - so i very much would recomend to others.

Great item fast shipping I would buy from u again thanx so much for replacing the first one I didn't get

Lost My Tom Tom On A Fishing Trip. Love This One Because It Speak When To Turn With The Stree Name Too. Had To Call Tom Tom To Get The Correct Voice Setting.
Love It

This little compact gadget is great. I love that its portable and that it can be used in other cars without having to plug it in. I decided to buy it because it definitely beats map questing everything. Directions as you go is great
Tom Tom is my new best friend.

i loved it worked like a charm and it helped me a lot on my trip. it is a good entry level gps for beginners and has some cool features. the directions it gives you i would say are 98% accurate and if you miss a turn it will automaticly reroute your directions. it has a built in battery which lasts 3 hours but also comes with a cig lighter plug for longer trips. i would recomend this to anyone who is looking for a good basic gps unit for their car.

This is my first automotive GPS so I have no experience to compare this product to. It has a very reasonable price due to being factory reconditioned.

The touch screen function works well, and the menues are very logical and intuitive.

The screen is large enough to see well and the maps displayed are accurate and complete.

It picks up satelites very quickly, and has a wide range of voices and languages to choose from.

I am quite satisfied and have bought several for gifts.

Absolutely no problem at all, it was as advertised. Decided to buy because it was being offered at a better price.

I needed this GPS for my job and it works like a charm! I love it and depend on it. Two times I have had questions about the product and I called customer service and they were tremendously helpful. There has been occasional times when the roads were not on the GPS even though they were not that new, but overall I love the product!
