The 140 S treads between the bare minimum for road tripping and the luxury of a pricier unit.


Highs: Flat-folding windshield mount; good build quality; advanced lane guidance; functional text-to-speech; quick operation

Lows: Software needs a facelift; accidental detachment from mount; rerouting can be too slow

Where to buy:

Introduction

When it comes to budget GPS systems, TomTom has the formula nailed. The company’s One line of navigators have consistently earned high marks for value in years past, delivering navigation on par with the big guys, but without the extras that typically inflate price tags.

Despite the bare-minimum reputation, TomTom hasn’t let the One line stagnate either. The latest model, the One 140 S, pads some meat onto the barebones model with the inclusion of many trickle-down features from pricier navigators, and a $200 price tag. Are the extra features worth the upgrade for budget users when the baseline One 125 model can be had for $120 – more than fifty dollars less? We stuck it up in the windshield to find out.
