 Excellent routing! April 21, 2009
C. D. Hess (Rochester, NY)
71 out of 74 found this review helpful
I have just replaced my TomTom One 130S with the 140S. The IQ Routes Technology dramatically improves the routing. I have owned Navman, Mio, and Garmin GPS units. This one has the best routing yet! This is an excellent value!
Edit: I just returned from a trip from Rochester, NY to Charleston, WV to Topsail, NC.
I was very impressed with my 140S. It never suggested a faulty or weird route. One route it suggested in West Virginia was far superior to the route I normally take.
The voice directions always seem to be spoken at exactly the right time.
"Reality views" of expressway interchanges popped up frequently. I have really come to appreciate the feature.
I love that you can set voice warnings for Rest Areas.
The only negative thing I have to report is that some POIs in the Topsail, NC area were shown in wrong locations. I also found this to be the case with my Garmin 260 last year.
A new section of interstate in North Carolina is in the latest map. My brother's Garmin (with the latest map) does not yet show the new road.
I have more confidence in the 140S than any GPS I have owned.

I upgraded from the TomTom One 130 to this TomTom One 140s for the advanced lane guidance and I absolutely love it.
The spoken street names are nice but no big deal (You have to select a computer voice to get street names. The natural voice can only say pre-recorded things). The names are probably helpful for people who do not want to take their eyes of the road. However, those people will miss the absolute greatest feature which is the advanced lane guidance. It is so nice to get advanced notice that there are multiple lanes coming up and being told very clearly by means of the multiple arrows which lane(s) you can choose. I live in the Seattle area and found that it will show those arrows for nearly all large intersections that have multiple turning lanes. On the freeway you not only get the guidance arrows at the bottom, but frequently a big computer generated picture that clearly depicts all lanes and on/off ramps with big arrows inside the lanes you can choose. It is actually quite shocking when it then switches back to the standard lines view. They feel like cave drawings by comparison. I think it is already technically possible to make this realistic picture view the (moving) permanent view (kind of like a video game). All they need to do is extend their database to include the number of lanes of a road.
Two other improvements over the 130 are that you can add your own Points Of Interest. Although the 130 already allowed you to download locations from Google Maps as Favorites, adding them as POIs will display them on the map just as any other POI and reduce the clutter in your Favorites. The other minor improvement is the ability to create an itinerary. The itinerary is basically a sequence of destinations (with some minor editing capabilities such as adding, removing and moving a destination up or down in the list) which you can save as an itinerary. Just like the 130, the 140s is accurate, quick to draw the screen and recalculate the directions if you stray off course. If you notice after a while that the satellite aquisition is taking longer, connect the TomTom to your PC and update it and the aquisition will be back to a few seconds. I updated my 130 about once a month.
So far I haven't noticed the IQ Routes giving me different routing suggestions than the 130, but I have only had it for a few days and my trips so far may not have required a special IQ re-route. If I notice any specially great or bad routing later, I will add it to this review.
MORE UPGRADES, CHEAPER PRICE TAG, EXCELLENT GPS August 20, 2009
Anton Tobias (The vast cornfields of the Midwest)

Thinking back to the first GPS device I ever owned (the TomTom One) and how much I plopped down for it got me to pondering the many pros and cons of technology. It's always advancing and it's always coming down in price. Am I mad that I spent over twice as much money on my original TomTom One when compared to the new TomTom 140-S? Naaaahhhhhh...my original TomTom One is practically a member of the family. How could I stay angry at someone who has guided me through the frantic Los Angeles freeways, helped me find address with pinpoint accuracy and guided me home through the deserted back country roads of Illinois? Sure the little guy may have cost me a little more than I wanted to spend, but where would I be without him? Lost...that's where...
Well, look out GPS enthusiasts and people with no sense of direction...the TomTom One is now better than ever. Introducing the TomTom 140-S, TomTom's best in the entry level category. Let's cut to the chase...what's new? Well, for those familiar with the TomTom One there's quite a bit of added features to the 140-S that you may find worth it. Here they are:
- Spoken Street Names (that's right, gone are the days of simple turn left & right directions)
- I.Q. Route Technology (a GPS device that's self aware...echoes of Terminator 2)
- Advance Lane Guidance (holy cow is this a time saver)
- Fold & Go EasyPort Mount
Let's start with the Spoken Street Names feature...for a lot of people this is a biggie. For years GPS owners in the entry level division have been stuck with basic "Turn Left" of "Turn Right" verbal prompts from there TomToms. Well, not anymore...we now have Text-To-Speech technology at an unbeatable price. Drivers will now hear actual street names spoken to them as they drive instead of the general navigational commands they're used to. For example: Instead of hearing "Turn Right" you will hear "Turn Right On Jackson Street". For many drivers this is a groundbreaking feature for a GPS of this price...also considered by many as an added safety feature due to the fact the driver doesn't have to take his or her eyes off the road to see which street to access.
The I.Q Route Technology is another fabulous feature worth mentioning. As you use your TomTom 140-S it learns which routes are faster basing it's conclusions on it's many arrival times to chosen destinations. Say for example you are trying to get from Pasadena to LAX on a Monday morning to catch a flight, the TomTom 140-S would understand that using certain major freeways during morning rush hour is not the best route, given the traffic congestion. So it will automatically choose a better, more efficient route avoiding crowded freeways, getting you to the airport quicker and ensuring you don't miss your flight.
Advance Lane Guidance...how did I ever live without this? Sure my original TomTom One is amazing when it comes to navigation but there were times where I was a little confused on those insane Los Angeles highways with multiple exits that lead to more exits that merge into on ramps which lead me to a manifold of off ramps...get the idea? There are times when I'm looking at three exits at once, knowing I'm supposed to be on one of them because my TomTom is telling me so. I consult the TomTom screen, it has my route outlined but the exits are so clustered together I have trouble telling which one to take. I play a quick game of eenie meenie miney mo and merge...only to find I'm on the wrong off ramp. Of course it generously re-routes me within seconds but I always feel a little embarrassed in the presence of my noble TomTom device. No more! The new Advance Lane Guidance is a feature that will have many singing praise. As you approach your freeway exit (or multiple exits) the screen cuts to a much more detailed route outline, basically like your looking at an exact image of what your seeing when you look out you windshield. This makes merging so much more convenient and is just another of many helpful features included in the TomTom 140-S.
The Fold & Go EasyPort Mount is another small blessing. For years I've "reached my destination" and, after parking, had to pack-up my TomTom One, putting all the pieces (the unit itself, the suction cup mount, the cigarette lighter adapter) in my book bag. At least with the new Fold & Go EasyPort Mount I can simply fold the suction cup mount into the back of the unit, instead of having to dissconnect it from the TomTom device and find a separate spot inside my book bag to store it. This is a step in the right direction and it is one that is much appreciated.
For the technical data: The screen is a small 3.5-inch LCD. I actually prefer this because of it's compact size, after all I'm not watching a movie in anamorphic widescreen...I'm simple getting directions. The actual product dimensions measure 3.6" x 0.8" x 3 inches and weighs 6.9 ounces. The TomTom 140-S also has a little brother, the TomTom 140. If you are looking at both products and are indecisive about which one to purchase the only difference between the two is the TomTom 140 does NOT have Text-To-Speech technolgy. Meaning you will not have spoken street names read to you. This may or may not be important to you, you can decide for yourself though.
As far as the TomTom name itself...I feel they are the best GPS devices hands-down. I have maintained for years that Garmin GPS devices are good but have a lot of hype surrounding them. Being an owner of both over the years I have got to use both names and TomTom has always come out on top. Whether it's routing, points of interest, map detail or product features TomTom has always impressed me where Garmin has lacked.
Sweet Spot of value and features! March 8, 2010

Let me start by saying I did exhaustive research prior to purchasing a GPS unit. I was convinced I was getting a Garmin 765,1370, or 1390 ( I also considered the Magellan 1470 and 4700). But they were all way more money than I wanted to spend- along comes this deal at less than half the price!~. I decided that features that were important to me were in order of importance:
Text to Speech - spoken street names
Lane Guidance -
Junction view
Blue tooth -
Lifetime free traffic
I live in a smaller metro area and so traffic was an easy perk to say good bye to, I only use my cell phone for emergency communication so bluetooth was an easy perk to say good bye to. That left me with 3 features that I knew at least 2 would be covered by the 140s. To my surprise on the test run of the unit I found that it has the equivalent of junction view not listed in the feature set (maybe that's what they mean by "advanced lane guidance").
Disadvantages-I've read dozens of reviews of this unit and the biggest disadvantage is the small internal storage size. But I've worked with computers that don't have HUGE drives and it's something you have to manage/work with. Updates require open space on the internal drive and if you download more than it will hold apparently it bricks the unit. So piece of advice - Back up the device then delete unwanted voices. To do this you'll connect the TOMTOM to your pc and go to "manage my one". Once that's done you should have about 200 MB free space. Download and install updates.Then to update your map using the "latest map garuntee" you'll want to do a calculation and make sure that you have enough space for the newest map. Go to 'Tools' drop down and click 'use latest map garuntee' and this will take you to the map update page. The update wizard will tell you the size of the new map available for download (you may have to click 'more info') DO NOT download and install yet. Click cancel or back and go back to manage my ONE. Verify in 'manage my ONE' that if you delete the map on your unit (same procedure as before) this will free up enough TOTAL space for the newest map. If so then delete your current map (about 1600MB the new map is about 1700MB)and proceed with the download and install of the new map. This whole process took about 5 hours so I just started it before I went to bed. Now that the unit is all up to date I think I'll back it up again so I've got a fresh place to restore to.
The Most Useful Electronic Device I Own! July 24, 2009

I love this little gadget. I had previously owned another GPS from Tom Tom's competitor and I really do prefer the Tom Tom brand. The map seems to be a bit easier to predict upcoming turns and the audible navigation is very easy to understand. Love the trip preprogramming function (program an entire trip BEFORE departing). Just the right size. With the flat back, it easily slips into a briefcase, purse, etc.
Great electronic device. Only problem is that I am not sure I could ever live without one again! LOVE IT!!
