TomTom ONE 125 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator
The TomTom One 125 is an entry level portable gps device that has had more features added lately to improve its operability and overall usefulness.
The 125's EasyPort mount fits onto the back of the device, allowing the unit to fit into your pocket, bag or glove compartment. It does have spoken directions but not text to speech. This means you will be directed to "turn right here" as opposed to "turn right on Main Street". The street name is, however, shown on the screen.
The TomTom 125 has a couple of optional capabilities that some users will find useful. Traffic updates and daily fuel price updates are available for a fee. It also has over 20 available language options standard.
The "Help Me!" feature directs you to local emergency services with the touch of a button.
You also have the option of recording directions in your own voice as well as purchasing celebrity voices for certain areas.
