Product Description: 3.5" TFT 320x240 Color LCD Touchscreen / 1GB Flash Memory / Pre-loaded maps of USA/Canada / High-sensitivity GPS chipset / 266 MHz, 32 MB RAM CPU
Amazon.com Product Description--May 8, 2008: 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.

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 - which comes as standard with the GO (920/720/520/910/710/510) and ONE (XL/New Edition) 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 (GO 920/720/520/910/710/510 and ONE XL/3RD EDITION and 2nd Edition). 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.

With an RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver accessory, you can get traffic information from the RDS-TMC Traffic service, which is delivered over unused FM radio channels.
Traffic information is fully integrated into the TomTom navigation experience.
The RDS-TMC receiver is available as an accessory for the GO 930/730/530, 920/720/520, 910/710/510, ONE 3rd edition, ONE XL, ONE (30 series) and XL (30 series).
The RDS-TMC receiver accessory comes with a 1-year free subscription to the TMC traffic service
With some TomTom models, an RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver is included in the box. This is indicated by the addition of "T" or "Traffic" to the model name. An example is "ONE Traffic". .

Wonderful Product This is a wonderful product. I is really easy to use, and is much better than Map quest! A great gift!
GPS for the Business Traveler I travel on business and I was looking for a GPS device that would be: reliable for navigation; mount conveniently; and be easy to pack along on trips. I did not want: a picture frame; an MP3 player; a cell phone, etc., -- I just wanted reliable, portable navigation. The TomTom ONE 130S was been an excellent choice based on this criteria.
The directions provided have been on target during my travels in Florida, Georgia and New England. The mounting system is small and simple. The GPS device, the mount, and the car charger, all fit easily in my briefcase. The smaller display takes up less room, and the voice directions make a larger screen unnecessary. It's a great traveling companion.
tomtom Bought as a birthday gift for my daughter. She loves it and says it is very easy to use. She just moved to a larger city and says it saves alot of time when you don't know the terratory.
Worked great AFTER I had to send it back due to low volume I did weeks of research on GPS systems and even saw many complaints about the volume of this product. But other reviews said it was totally fine. Well, I got a dud. The volume was so low I didn't even know if it was talking at all with the windows down. Luckily, I called Tom Tom customer service, and they had me ship it to them (which cost me about $11) and they replaced it with a new one that does, thankfully, have adequate volume. Would recommend the product overall but beware that there is the potential to get a dud.
Worth the money I wouldn't bet my life on it but it works pretty well. My guess is any GPS would have some drawbacks.
My main gripe is the route planning. After you select a destination, you can pick from several options normally fastest way or shortest way. My complaint is you can modify the route but it will not save it. The next time you enter the destination is calculates the route all over again. I finally ended up entering multiple destinations as favorites and then routing to the first one, then after reaching it I entered the second favorite as a destination.
The maps can be a little lacking. For example, if you want to enter a destination on a freeway you cannot enter a number because it says there are no numbers. Your only option is a cross street which is great unless you are trying to find out where something is.
