TomTom XL

Formerly the ONE XL, TomTom has slightly re-branded its entry-level widescreen GPS unit. The XL remains almost identical to the [[prodid:6013]], with ...

Slimline design, 4.3in widescreen, ease of use, EasyPort mount, TomTom HOME software, Map Share, Help Me! safety menu

No included AC adapter

The XL adds a larger display to the already fantastic ONE unit. The new EasyPort mount and TomTom's Map Share feature make this an enticing unit.

TomTom XL 340 S review: TomTom XL 340 S

TomTom XL 340 S

The TomTom XL 340 S has advanced features such as lane guidance, downloadable fuel prices, and user updated maps from TomTom Map Share. Its large 4.3-inch WXGA touch screen is easy to read and to enter addresses on. Text-to-speech enhances the device's...

The larger size, combined with additional thickness added by an EasyPort mount, somewhat limits its portability. Routing from a moving vehicle is considerably slower than from a stationary one.

The TomTom XL 340 S introduces a few advanced features to TomTom's midrange lineup, while staying well below the premium price bracket.

All XL 350 models, like the XXL 550 models, can be upgraded to a recently announced operating system upgrade. (By contrast, XXL 540 and XL 340 models cannot be upgraded with the latest OS update.) The new operating system includes quick access to the...

Excellent

Really pleased with all aspects of the TomTom. Excellent product; foolproof to be honest, easy to use and even though on one journey it took me what I considered to be the "long route" (unless I was set up wrong), very good indeed. Good battery life...
