just wondering... is there anyway of telling when the tom tom one xl is charged up? I've read the instructions (which not overly impressed with - realise theoretically a monkey can do it but I like things to be clear and precise and after reading those wasn't sure if charge first, if hook up to pc first, if stand outside and 'find' my position first argh)
anyway - have plugged into pc to charge it up - and the little 'charge' light is on green constant - do i assume it turns off when charged? It's been about three hours now and light is still on
The green light stays on as long as it is connected to an external charging source. If you tap the lower right part of the screen, you should see another status summary screen displayed which shows a battery symbol to indicate how fully-charged it is.

It comes fully charged. Plug and Play. At least my sister's 3rd Edition did. I assume most Tom Toms do.
That's the only issue I have with the Tomtom devices.
The green light stays on and the display always states 'charging' and never 'fully charged'.
You have to llok at the battery icon too see if it is fully green (fully charged), partially green (partially charged) or partially amber (low charge). When the battery is really low you get the low battery icon on the map screen as well.
was a bit annoyed as worked fine for the first day or two, first time I try and actually go anywhere with it as it were it froze after turning it on! ended up having rto re-set it and wait a while (re-set it first and it froze again so tried a second time)
seems looking at tom tom forums that its a bit of an 'accepted' glitch and that soft re-setting every so often is ok to resolve?

It will never actually tell you it's fully charged.
The battery icon may show as full but it'll still tell you it's charging.
