QuickGPSfix
Starting up can seem like a slow business, particularly if you're in a hurry, because the GPS receiver needs to know exactly where each GPS satellite is to calculate your location. But satellites only broadcast their positions once every 30 seconds. So if any of their signals are interrupted, for example by passing high buildings, the whole position-fixing process has to repeat itself again and again until the perfect fix is achieved. QuickGPSfix takes a smarter approach.
QuickGPSfix can speed up the time it takes to fix your GPS position by downloading the latest satellite data via an Internet connection. Just connect your TomTom device to your computer and TomTom HOME automatically downloads `QuickGPSfix' - a special GPS data file that helps your TomTom fix your position quicker, even when the GPS signal is weak or partially blocked.
This unique free service helps you fix your position and get navigating faster than ever.
On the road or no access to TomTom HOME?
Get the same `QuickGPSfix' data by simply connecting to any TomTom PLUS service, using a wireless data connection. As soon as a connection is established, the `QuickGPSfix' data is automatically updated.
Note: QuickGPSfix data has limited validity. So to keep on getting a faster position-fix, re-connect your device at least once a week.
To minimise the amount of data sent over your wireless data connection, this automatic update is only carried out if the data on your device is over 5 days old. The associated data usage of this service is less than 10 Kb per connection. Please contact your mobile service provider to determine the exact costs. To disable this automatic update, just select `Disable Auto QuickGPSfix' on your TomTom device.

TomTom is going for the ultimate in portability with the 2008 ONE 130 and ONE 130S by integrating a nifty fold-out mount right into the devices. No more trying to figure out where to stash that big, clunky mount in your car -- just pop it off, fold it up and carry the whole thing in your pocket. Of course, the ONE 130 series also features the plug and play ease of use, rock-solid navigation, and sleek designs we've come to expect from TomTom.
The ONE 130S adds text-to-speech to the base 130 model. This means instead of hearing "turn right in 50 feet", you'll hear, "turn right in 50 feet at Ohio Street". In our experience, this is probably the most useful step-up feature for a GPS navigator, and if your looking at the 130, we'd definitely recommend stepping up to at least the 130S.

What did it say??? July 3, 20081 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this TomTom based on an earlier model I borrowed from a friend and liked. Her TomTom was so loud it was jarring-could be heard over the radio and with the windows down. That's just what I wanted since I tend to drive around with the windows down and the radio up. I bought the 130S, named it Jane, and took her on a trip to Burlington, Massachusetts. As luck would have it, Jane was not anywhere near as loud as my friend's older model (Sheila). I notified Amazon and they sent me a replacement. While awaiting the arrival of the replacement I continued to use Jane, and as time passed she sounded worse and worse. Eventually she sounded like she'd had a tracheotomy and was speaking through a voice box. I was not aware that Jane smoked two packs of Pall Mall a day, but by the time we got to Burlington she was quietly croaking "turn left" to which I would shout, "what did it say?????". The new 130S arrived, I packed Jane up and sent her to whatever smoker's rehab Amazon provides (postage paid) and opened the new unit (this took 20 minutes because the packaging is so hard to open. I am not sure why so much plastic is necessary for an item that most stores keep in the back stockroom). I did not name the new one because just like in Platoon, I was not sure how long the new guy would last. This one sounded like a shy Tom Waits, who I like A LOT, but not in this context. It quietly rasped directions at me as I rolled up the windows, turned off the radio and said "WHAT???" After these 2 failed attempts to bond with a TomTom I sprung for a Magellan Maestro 4250. Although the novelty of choosing the voice is not available, at least I can hear the voice, whom I have named Madge. Madge is a non smoker with a pleasant enough tone, and she has always taken me safely to my destination. Sorry, Jane. I hope you get the help you need.
Good GPS, poor speaker quality July 3, 2008I really liked this GPS at first, esp. the ability to download updates, pictures and even voices all for free. However the speaker quality was very poor, tinny, and hard to hear, even after I made adjustments in the menu.
I called Tom Tom, hoping that I had a bad unit and it could be swapped for one with better speaker quality, they said, unfortunately, due to the compact design, all the speakers in that line are the same quality. Reluctantly I returned it.
Amazon has a great return policy.
I then bought a Garmin Nuvi 350, and wow, the speaker quality is much better.
Nice hardware; terrible setup problems. July 2, 2008This is an excellent GPS navigator for the price. It is full-featured: gives clear directions, the screen is visible in sunlight, the sound perfectly adequate. If I had never attached it to a computer, I would rate it five stars. But that's not what I want to write about here.
The problems started when I installed the "TomTom Home" software on my computer. The GPS connects over USB and shows up as disk drive. The software is stored on the device, ready-to-install. First problem: It came with an old version which immediately crashed.
I downloaded the newest version of Home - which worked much better. It connected to the internet and said that it had found an update to the GPS software, I let it autoupdate to 8.010. New problem: the GPS now wouldn't restart in navigate mode (flashing X of death). The software update bricked my shiny new GPS, right out of the box.
The solution was to reformat the GPS and reinstall all software on it. There is no installation CD/DVD that will do a "factory reset", so you have to: use the Home software to take a copy of all the modules to your computer; reformat the drive using Explorer; download and install the latest app using Home (restart it a few times to make sure it upgrades to the latest version and cures the flashing X); restore the maps and any other modules using Home. Warning: TomTom will charge you $80 if you accidentally erase the maps and need to download them again - so be careful.
Eventually I got everything working - and it is a nice product. I'm happy with it as a GPS device - but based on my abysmal setup experience, I wouldn't recommend it without serious reservations.
Over-hyped junk June 29, 20081 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this product last week. The volume emits from the rear of the device. Simply stated: it cannot be heard. The mounting device is cheap and poorly designed (suction cup, device separates from mount when attemting to adjust the unit).
Upon testing, it led me astray, telling me to turn at cow pastures or non-existent roads (rural setting).
I returned the product for a store credit. I would not purchase a Tom Tom product again. The website appears to be equally poor.
WORKS GREAT. PRICED RIGHT. BUYING ANOTHER ONE FOR MY WIFE ! June 29, 2008So good I'm buying another one for my wife's car!! I was just about to buy the ONE 3rd. But was keen on a longer battery life and a smaller unit. WELL TomTom launched this just in time! I researched a lot. I tried a Garmin. But TomTom just seemed more user friendly. Easer and better menus. Software works well on Apple MAC. Finds places fast. Accurate maps. I'm in New Zealand. Could ship with more 'computer voices' as the text to speech is a brilliant and helpful tool. Just 'Samantha' the USA female computer voice isn't that great, a bit old and deep. Higher pitch voices are easier to hear. I love this unit. The window mount is ergonomic and sticks like crazy. The HELP ME parts of the menu are very very clever and useful. It's just a great little piece of tech.
