My new TTOne!!

So I got the TTone and have yet to take it in the car. I have been playing with it and have a few questions about it already (please forgive me if the questions gets answered when I actually use it).
1) is there a way to see all the street names? I live in Chicago and I would like to see each street as I pass them so I know when to start looking for the street I want.
2) is there a way to cancel a trip? I started at my home and I saved my work address. So let's say I am driving to work and dont have to go in, how can I cancel it so it won't give me directions to work.
I'm sure there will be many other questions to come.

2) Menu --> Next --> Next --> clear route. That will do the trick.
As far as I know their traffic service is still free anyway.
I added the pic. :)
(Long story short on QuickFix). In order to acquire information from the satellites, GPS devices need to "listen" for them. In order to listen, they can either just guess where it might listen for the satellites, or with a technology like QuickFix it can predict up to a week or so in advance where the satellites will be at any given time/location and will then know where to listen and thus get a signal faster.
So as long as your device is getting satellite reception then that particular update isn't critical to you know. Not having encountered that error before, I'm not sure what to do about it other than to try uninstalling TomTom HOME, downloading the latest version from their website (if you installed it from the CD) and then trying again.
If you are navigating to a destination and want to stop for a restaurant break it is easiest to go to 'Find Alternative' --> 'Travel via' --> Point of Interest --> (relative location) --> POI category. Using this feature you can also search by name and it will show you if the POI is directly on your route or slightly off your route based on the icon.
I almost never browse the map to search for POIs. Let the GPS do the work by figuring how how far away it is and being able to search by name.
Just in case I wasn't clear before, from the Browse map mode in my previous response, after you have clicked on the icon to see the name and number you can quickly create a route to that location with the funny looking blue cursor icon.
The trouble with finding POIs on the normal 3D display is that it will just "look" in your current/most recent direction.
I find that using the Browse map option to interrogate POI's is fussy at best (but I have fat fingers...)
One way to figure out what restauarant is close to you is:
Main->Find Alternative->Travel Via->POI->POI near you->Restaurant
Which then gives a list sorted by distance.
I've only had my TomTom One for a couple days, but I really like it...
