Review:
Ok I thought I'd chip in with my two penneth to kind of offset the two fairly negative user reviews on here.
I've been using the One XL for around 2 months now and I'll be honest, it hasn't put a foot wrong so far.
If you want a powerful satnav device without all the useless superfluous add ons that you'll never use then this is what you need. Really, I've used this everywhere constantly and apart from the very latest road changes it's very accurate and extremely useful. A total idiot could navigate around the menus. I have no idea why anybody could criticise the menus as unintuitive.
As for the guy who complained that petrol stations are buried in the menus...a simple solution. Make them an active POI. Pretty simple huh?
I have had no problems at all with route recalculations but then again I'm a realist. I don't expect miracles.
All in all if you want a reasonably priced powerful satnav device that just does the job then you just can't go wrong with the One XL. Trust me.
