Best Christmas Gift Yet


Of all the gifts I got for Christmas, I have to say that my favorite may just be the one that wasn't on my list.

We got a Tomtom One for Christmas from my DH's company, and I use it all the time now. I'll admit, when it comes to directions, I am not the best. In fact, I usually can't find my way home from a new location without a call to DH asking for help.

Imagine his joy at my getting this gift. Now, I simply put in the destination and the
Tomtom One tells me exactly how to get home and even allows me to chose alternate routes if there is a street I want or need to avoid. Not only that, she will also tell me where all the Dunkin Donut shops are along the way. Now that is awesome.

As a busy mom with active kids, this is the perfect toy to have. I can put in all the locations of the football games, swim meets, mathlete competitions, band events and college visits and get there without having to google a location, printing a map and then trying to read a map while I drive, drink coffee and try not to hit anyone. Now I mount the
Tomtom One on the windshield enter the address and go.

The
Tomtom One comes with 4 voices by default, but more can be downloaded. We opted for a very nice British woman's voice, very James Bondish.
