1. What's in the Box

Figure 1: TomTom ONE 130, What's in the Box

The TomTom ONE 130 includes the following items in the box:

• Windshield mount (EasyPort)
• Car charger (12-24V)
• USB Cable
• Adhesive Disk (for mounting the GPS on the dashboard instead of the windshield)
• Documentation

Physically, the ONE 130 looks and feels similar to previous TomTom GPS units. The 3.5-inch color LCD touch screen is framed by a black and silver colored casing. The 130 is handsome looking, and feels well made.

With the exception of the power button on the top of the device, there are no physical controls on the ONE 130. All operations are performed via the touch-screen interface.

One of the most interesting physical features of the ONE 130 is TomTom's new EasyPort Mount. The foldable EasyPort mount is designed to make it easy to remove the windshield mount and GPS device from the car.

TomTom says the silicon used on the EasyPort mount is stronger than previous mounts, which should make the EasyPort stronger and able to adhere to more surface types.

The EasyPort Mount is attached to the glass by pressing the disk onto the windshield and twisting the bezel into the locked position.

The EasyPort Mount can also be snapped off the back of the ONE 130 if you don't want to bring the mount with you, and just want the GPS device.

The ONE 130 features a large internal speaker, located on the back of the device. It's louder than most other 3.5-inch GPS devices.
