TomTom ONE USB Battery Charger

• Works from any standard electric outlet at home, at work, or in hotel rooms
• Offers the freedom and convenience of charging while away from your vehicle
• Recharges the TomTom ONE's lithium ion battery via built-in USB port

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.

Buy TomTom ONE USB Battery Charger Now

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.

After purchasing a TomTom One I noticed it has a feature for walk routes, I thought it would be something I would never use and didn't think twice about it.

Well, it just shows you how wrong first impressions can be.

I was recently on vacation in Los Angeles (South Pasadena to be exact) visiting filming locations from the first Halloween film (1978). I had researched all the info online then programmed the locations as "Favorites" into my TomTom One. This way I could quickly find an address I wanted to see rather than type out the city, street, and house number.

Arriving in South Pasadena I realized alot of the filming locations were very close together. I decided to walk the route because it was a lot quicker avoiding traffic, street lights, one way streets...etc.. It was also nice to enjoy the California sunshine.

Because I had used the TomTom Home Charger the night before in my hotel room my TomTom One had a full charge. This was very convenient because I could simply take the unit with me and have my entire route with all my favorites with me on foot. It was like having my very own tour guide telling me right where to go.

Anyone who will be using their TomTom One outside a vehicle should look into this product.

The one disadvantage of the TomTom ONE is that its battery life is only 2 hours, so it's important you have a car charger and/or home charger to power the device up when not in use. The USB cable provided with your device can also charge it, but it'll take ALOT longer to charge. It's better to have this home charger handy!
