Summary: Good but flawed
Comment: There doesn't appear to be any way to "fix" your camera. That is, after you've zoomed out to see things on a larger scale, seconds later the GPS will zoom back in. So whether your going along at 75mph or 10mph, youre gonna be looking at about the next 100 feet of road no matter.
If you're like me and mainly want an electronic map device that tracks your position in relation to the streets on the map then this unit is not for you. If you're ok with having to rely 100% on the voice prompts telling you where and how to go at all times this is your unit.

Summary: gets me lost often
Comment: i love my tomtom, but it has got me lost almost every time i use it, it sometimes doesnt give you enough time to lane change, and will often not tell you to take an exit - just to bear right, which could mean to go around a corner, or take an exit.
most of the time it gets you there in the end - but with detours

Summary: Good Basic GPS
Comment:
I have used this GPS for several trips and so far, so good.
Cons:
1) Like other reviewers have said, the volume could use some improvement.
2) It would be nice if a charger, other than a car charger, were provided.
3) Once charged, it only holds a charge approx. 2 hours, but if you keep it plugged into the charger, that is not so much of an issue.
Pros:
1) Good price for a basic GPS System.
2) Nice features of downloading or updating maps from the website.
3) So far has recognized all the addresses I have attempted and gotten me there with no problems.
The above cons are minor and the pros outweigh the cons. Overall it is good GPS at a good value. If you are looking for a basic system and don't want to spend big money, the TomTom One 130 is a good buy.

Summary: Not your best TomTom
Comment: I first tried the TomTom One 3rd edition, and although it worked rather well, it did not have spoken street names, a feature that I find very important. I returned it and ordered the TomTom One 130S since it seemed like a good price for the features offered. I noted that some of the earlier reviews were not favorable, but that the later reviews seemed to indicate that problems had been fixed, so I took the chance. Big mistake. This model should never have left the drawing board. Although this model has the "text to speech" feature that provides the spoken street names, the voice is so indistinct that it is difficult to distinguish "turn left" from "turn right" even when the volume is up all the way. After more research, I decided to order the Garmin Nuvi 360, and I have been very pleased with it. Perhaps a different model TomTom would have been better, but stay away from the 130s.

Summary: TomTom ONE 130
Comment: TomTom ONE 130 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator
We have used the GPS a few times now, and it is has been reliable and correct. Without reading the manual, my family and I have had no trouble figuring out the menu items.
