Product Description

Wonderfully versatile, the TomTom ONE Portable GPS Vehicle Navigation System is a Bluetooth-enabled device that can work just about anywhere in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Canada for route planning, traffic and weather updates, and cell phone communication. And because your ONE navigation system has so many uses, you will want to use it outside your vehicle as much as inside. That's where the TomTom ONE USB Battery Charger comes in. Designed for the internal lithium ion battery that powers the TomTom ONE, the battery charger gives you an alternative to recharging through your vehicle's cigarette lighter. All you need is a standard wall socket in your home, workplace, or hotel room, and you be able to recharge your navigation system's battery through the ONE's built-in USB port. And because the USB charger has an automatic cutoff that won't overcharge your battery, your navigation system will not only last longer, but will also be available for use more hours of the day. For convenience that simplifies your fast-moving lifestyle whether you're driving or parked, the TomTom ONE Battery Charger is an essential accessory.

Customer Reviews

It does what it is supposed to do
When I got my Tom Tom One, there was a quick start guide that was to say the least inadequite. One of the things they left out was the fact that you can charge your Tom Tom using the USB cable connected to your computer. Insted they have a stern warning in their quick start guide suggesting you spend 30 bucks more to buy the Charger. The Charger works fine, but I don't think much of Tom Tom's business ethics in not including detailed information about their product when the consumer purchases it so you don't end up spending money on things you really don't need. For that reason, I wouldn't give Tom Tom any stars.

TomTom One XL battery charging scenarios
Three battery charging scenarios:
1. The included USB cable for downloading from computer will "trickle" charge device's battery if the device is turned off while attached to computer (explained on P9 as Note of Quick Start Guide). Takes about one hour to fully charge.
2. Included USB cable for car use will do the absolutely identical thing as the USC computer cable as explained above.
3. Optional wall outlet charger not required if one does not need to quick charge device. Advantage of using supplied USB cable with computer is to first hook up to TomTom Home to check for downloadable updates and then tunoff to trickle charge device as needed.
I don't think TomTom is being deceptive about the need to buy their wall outlet charger. One has to read the Quick Startup Guide, which is that a guide, and then download and carefully read the User Manual that is available from TomTom Home. It is more detailed on the operation of the device. On p6 of the Quick Start Guide under the header "Troubleshootiong" is clearly states , "Always make sure that you are using the latest version of the TomTom application on your One XL...see TomTom Home on page 9."
One has to read the instructions to be smarter that the equipment one uses.

Works as described
This charger works. It charges faster than if you were using the USB from the computer. I like how it has interchangable pins for if you want to take your TomTom overseas and charge it while on vacation.
