"Good entry level GPS; written documentation minimalistic; steep learning curve"
Pros: Price is right
Cons: Documentation is sparse; lack of off-screen controls for loudness and brightness handicaps single occupant operation.
Summary: My initial impression was that he device was difficult to learn. Now that the learning curve has been surmounted, after a 22 day road trip into the west and northwest, I can say that the unit performed well, got us to all our destinations without mishap (except for the times we chose to disbelieve its instructions, and was a great assist in finding our lodgings and points of interest. My "navigator" praises its utility, and her greatly lessened dependence on paper maps. I enjoy the second by second visual updates of route changes as they approach.
I recognize two shortfalls of the TomTom One: when road/traffic noise conditions change, adjusting the loudness of the device requires six screen touches, including a slider adjustment; when daylight turns to night, adjusting the brightness requires three screen touches. Either of these requires eyes off the road. External nob adjustment is much safer for single occupant operation.
