sorry -
thought you wanted an intelligent discussion
concerning the pros and cons of GPS devices - Garmin vs TomTom

---
I'm selling my Tomtom One at the next garage sale. It's worthless and
was a waste of money. I'll just sell it for whatever I can get and
take a loss on most of the money I spent. I refuse to let this thing
direct me wrongly and waste my time and gas money. I've changed the
settings, and done all the things needed, and it's proven to be worst
than useless. I've used it for the last time. I've been driving
about 40 years and will use paper maps as I have always done. No more
GPS for me. It's become nothing but a source of annoyance.

Before I sell it, I want to remove all my personal data such as my
"Home" and all the "archives" of recent trips. In other words, I want
to set it back to factory defaults. Is this possible? How? Do I
need to remove the batteries, or let them totally discharge, or is
there another way?

Yes, I do want an intelligent discussion. I'm not trying to make one
brand look better or worse, but I am being honest about my horrid
experience with Tomtom GPSs. I got much less lost and confused when I
had to just rely on the old paper maps. This Tomtom is majorly
f***ked. I can no longer put any trust in it whatsoever, so it's got
to go. I dont need something else to clutter my closet, so I'll take
the few dollars I get at the rummage sale and save it for a better
GPS, or just purchase a new Road Atlas. If I hear that Garmin is
reliable, I might get one if I find one on sale. So far I have heard
little bad about Garmin, but I want lots of honest replies. Not just
what the salesman has to say.

I guess your cross posting does make sense, so thanks.

You talk very loftily of honesty, yet you are seeking to sell to some
unsuspecting dupe an item you know to be faulty.
