Introduction

One piece of technology that has really made it into the hands of most consumers is the GPS. Some people really rely on GPS units and for constant drivers they are a valuable tool. I really have never used a GPS before so this will be a first for me. Today I will be looking at the TomTom One GPS unit, which features a 3.5-inch touchscreen, 1GB internal memory, built-in Bluetooth, and preloaded maps of the US and Canada. Geeks.com was nice enough to send the TomTom one over. Geeks.com is a great place to find computer parts.

Packaging

The TomTom One came from Geeks.com and as always it was packaged nicely. The retail package is pretty plain with a picture of the unit on the front. As you can see this is a refurbished unit, but it still carries a full 1 year warranty. The back of the unit lists the features and specifications.

Opening the package up everything is nicely packed inside. Getting it all out we have the following items: the TomTom One unit, windshield holder, mounting disk, USB cable, USB car charger, product code card, software CD, and documentation pack.
