I had to set up the Bluetooth on my TomTom Go 700 with it plugged into the car with full GPS signal. My TT loses signal indoors 95% of the time.

The maps are out dated by about 2 years or more I reckon. TT takes me across fields on a new bypass near us which was opened over 2 years ago. Also it tries to get me to turn left out of our village into a oneway system that was put in place over 3 years ago.

So far as I knowTomTom One doesn't have Bluetooth - I think thats on 500 upwards?

And they need to "see" two or three satellites to get a fix on their location so if you take them indoors I'd expect them to lose the signal.

Updating it doesn't change the maps, only the cameras.

In their comparison chart, Bluetooth doesn't appear on the One.

Have you checked on the TomTom site that it's compatible with your phone?

The TomTom One DOES have bluetooth but only for using the plus services I can't be used for hands free.
