Great as a Budget PND. Wife loves it., November 9, 2009Needed something for my wife to use to get to the mountains. She rarely travels without me driving. Ordered this - got it the next day. Maps are slightly dated and even though some new roads are on it - the… direction-calculator ignores a couple of the most recently added roads. Other than that - the text-to-speech is great. The feature set is good. And for the price we paid - couldn't ask for more. I like Tom-Tom over Garmin because we installed the PC software and can make updates/corrections and save personal features. The comparable Garmin doesn't.
great value, November 9, 2009Great Basic GPS for less than $100, November 8, 2009After looking at many reviews and comparing brands, I decided on a TomTom One 130S. I was going to get the base model without the text-to-speech but having is worth the extra $10-20. I don't have to look… at the GPS unit as much since it's telling me the street names. I used it for our vacation a few weeks ago and it was flawless. Great navigating, re-routing and quick signal. I also got the latest maps for free by following a previous reviewer instructions. I'm happy with it and for the price it was great!

5. Amazon.com
More than 160 consumers have posted reviews for the TomTom One 130S and its sibling, the One 130, but reviews are mixed, largely because of poor speakers on early models, a problem that recent reviews note has been fixed.
