TomTom ONE USB Battery Charger Reviews

• It does what it is supposed to do

  
  By A24AZ2MCPL7RZ6 on 2007-02-06
  When I got my Tom Tom One, there was a quick start guide that was to say the least inadequite. One of the things they left out was the fact that you can charge your Tom Tom using the USB cable connected to your computer. Insted they have a stern warning in their quick start guide suggesting you spend 30 bucks more to buy the Charger. The Charger works fine, but I don't think much of Tom Tom's business ethics in not including detailed information about their product when the consumer purchases it so you don't end up spending money on things you really don't need. For that reason, I wouldn't give Tom Tom any stars.
  
  

• TomTom One XL battery charging scenarios

  
  By A1JH7LVVAPM0JI on 2007-11-10
  Three battery charging scenarios:
  1. The included USB cable for downloading from computer will "trickle" charge device's battery if the device is turned off while attached to computer (explained on P9 as Note of Quick Start Guide). Takes about one hour to fully charge.
  2. Included USB cable for car use will do the absolutely identical thing as the USC computer cable as explained above.
  3. Optional wall outlet charger not required if one does not need to quick charge device. Advantage of using supplied USB cable with computer is to first hook up to TomTom Home to check for downloadable updates and then tunoff to trickle charge device as needed.
  I don't think TomTom is being deceptive about the need to buy their wall outlet charger. One has to read the Quick Startup Guide, which is that a guide, and then download and carefully read the User Manual that is available from TomTom Home. It is more detailed on the operation of the device. On p6 of the Quick Start Guide under the header "Troubleshootiong" is clearly states , "Always make sure that you are using the latest version of the TomTom application on your One XL...see TomTom Home on page 9."
  One has to read the instructions to be smarter that the equipment one uses.
  
  

• Works as described

  This charger works. It charges faster than if you were using the USB from the computer. I like how it has interchangable pins for if you want to take your TomTom overseas and charge it while on vacation.
  
  

• Does what it says on the box

  Not an essential piece of kit if you remember to take your car charging lead with you. It is, however, useful if the Tom Tom is used out of the car when visiting cities on foot. The unit is compact and comes with plugs for the whole world.

  I can use it one other components that use mini-USB connections as well, like my cell phone and blue tooth headset.

  I love the Tom Tom One, but the instructions stink.
  You literally have to figure it all out for yourself.
  PLUS, I paid more for the case than it costs now, because I pre-ordered it before it came out. Amazon recommendation with the Tom Tom.
  5 stars for the device, one star for the directions that come with it.

  Works great if your not in car and in need of your GPS before hitting the road with it. Keeps it charged

  For 20 bucks, it fits any outlet, keeps the TomTom charged while in the home so no, dead time etc...good deal and fast turn around!

  It was received in good order and very quickly, which was nice.
  
  
• Porduct never received
  By A2VBB8S1ZD0P01 on 2008-01-03
  First order was the wrong equipment, the second order, the seller reported to be out of stock. I believe that I will purchase future items at stores, so that I can see the product and know what I am getting. This system leaves to much room for fraud, misrepresentation, and dishonisty.
  
  
• Tom Tom GO 720 Is the Greatest
  By A2UODNBD3D5VGU on 2008-01-12
  TomTom GO 720 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS NavigatorI am very happy with the purchase of this GPS. It does everything it says it will do except for the bluetooth connection to a phone. I have the Motorola Razer and have the Bluetooth connection on but the GPS doesn't see it. If that's the only problem, then I don't have a problem.
  
  
• Excelent Accessory
  By A1MQTNAKO9YQF3 on 2008-03-03
  Very well thought out product.
  The cord seperates from the body of the charger to allow you to hook up to your computer. The power adapters are a nice touch if you are in europe. Works fine and lets me keep tomtom charged up and NOT in my car.

  On the subject of the optional TomTom charger, if you're traveling abroad (as we often do) connecting your TomTom to a laptop might not be convenient, and you dare not leave your TomTom in the car to charge, so having a charger with the appropriate adapters will allow you to charge your TomTom in your hotel room (perhaps at night while you sleep). I have to agree with "Robert Joseph Martinez Jr. "D70S Guy", these options are not necessarily meant to deceive but rather to simply offer more choices depending on your situation...
