TomTom One XL

The TomTom One XL features a spacious 4.3-inch touch screen, and comes preloaded with North American maps. The system is easy to use and provides accurate driving directions. Integrated Bluetooth allows you to add optional services, such as real-time ...

The system doesn't support text-to-speech functionality. Restaurants are not broken down by cuisine type in the POI database, and there's no easy way to view contact information for POI.

The TomTom One XL offers ease of use, accurate directions, and a spacious touch screen, but you can get more for your money from other portable navigation systems.

Features Featurewise, the TomTom One XL is very similar to the TomTom One; however, maps of the United States and Canada and points of interest (POI) are now preloaded onto the device's hard drive rather than on an SD card. Design The XL in the...

TomTom One XL

By Bonnie Cha

When we reviewed the TomTom One last year, we were impressed by its ease of use, affordable price tag, and good performance. Now, the company has released a new model in the product line called the TomTom One XL ($399.99) that adds a larger, 4.3-inch ...

TomTom One

By Bonnie Cha

With its last product release, TomTom threw just about every available feature into the TomTom GO 910: maps of the United States and Europe, text-to-speech functionality, iPod compatibility, Bluetooth, the list goes on. Yet as dazzling and feature ...

The TomTom One features a sleek design and is simple to use. It offers accurate text- and voice-guided directions and is affordably priced.

The TomTom One's points-of-interest database is a bit outdated and doesn't support text-to-speech functionality.

Offering just the navigation essentials and accurate directions, the TomTom One is an affordable and easy-to-use in-car GPS device for first-time buyers or anyone who wants a no-frills nav system.

Yet as dazzling and feature-rich as it is, the GO 910 isn't for everyone, especially if you're new to the GPS scene, so to fill that need, the company is going back to basics with its TomTom One. As we just mentioned, all the maps of the United...

TomTom ONE XL S Review

By Josh Norem

The TomTom XL S is the company's midrange GPS unit, and offers the same core functionality as the more expensive models while offering a few less features and a reduced price....

Big screen ; text-to-speech ; Map Share ; great downloads and add-ons

Setting up text-to-speech is flawed ; can't totally customize POIs

For navigation it supports text-to-speech, which allows the chosen voice to read street names instead of just saying "turn left." It does not support voice commands like the GO 920 series, but offers the standard ability to tap in addresses,...

TomTom ONE XL

By Craig Ellison

There have been a lot of changes in the personal-navigation market in the last year. Last fall, I reviewed the TomTom ONE. It had a 3.5-inch screen and a list price of $499. Oh, how the times have changed. The same model now lists for $299. Now ...

Has a big 4.3-inch screen. Excellent language support. Comes with multisegment routing and user-configurable screen.

No text-to-speech conversion.

The TomTom ONE XL is essentially a widescreen version of the TomTom ONE. Though it has the largest screen in TomTom's lineup of products, it lacks the text-to-speech conversion found in competing GPS devices with 4.3-inch screens, such as the Mio ...

With a list price of $399, TomTom's newest entry, the TomTom ONE XL, boasts a 4.3-inch display and joins Garmin, Magellan, and Mio in competing for your cash. And the TomTom ONE XL ships with the same type of ball-and-socket suction-cup bracket...

Image Courtesy of TomTom Aside from basic navigation there's not a whole heck of a lot to the ONE XL S. You can add traffic data to the ONE XLS, but the additional antenna costs $129 and includes one year of service. When you're not in your car...
