UPDATE: This model has been discontinued. For a list of current TomTom models and their features, please see our TomTom comparison chart.
The TomTom ONE 125 turned out to be one of this year’s Black Friday stars. Aggressively priced, the ONE 125 is identical to the TomTom ONE 130, except that it only includes maps of the U.S., and not Canada too (as found on the 130).
I had suspected that the points of interest (POI) database might be
reduced, but have confirmed that this is not so (other than the missing
Canadian POIs of course). This is a basic unit though — it has the smaller 3.5″ touch screen and lacks text-to-speech, so you’ll hear “turn right” rather than “turn right, Maple Street.”

The ONE 125 includes the Easy-Port mount, which stows on the back of the device. It also includes Map Share, which allows you to make certain map corrections on the device,
share them with others, and receive their corrections as well. A Help Me! feature allows you to locate nearby emergency services. You can read more about Map Share and Help Me! in my TomTom GO 730 review.

Do you know if the 125 has the same internal memory as the 130? It comes without the canadian maps, but can you put the US + Canada maps on there or is the memory smaller and they won’t fit?
The way to do it is to erase the usa map on the unit completely and then load the usa + canada map.
The same question came up here, and they are saying 900 MB are available…

Problem with Tom tom 125 and 130 are lack of SD card slot and only 1 GB internal memory… The 2nd day I brought it, tried to update maps and keep complaining that no space available….. I am happy Garmin 260W.

Re TomTom One 125; will it mount on the dashboard? Illegal to mount it on windshield in Calfornia.
It’s now legal there, though there are some very specific requirements… http://gps.about.com/od/trends/a/GPS_Bill.htm
I prefer a friction mount anyway…
