TomTom One XL review

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.

TomTom ONE XL

The ONE XL combines a widescreen form factor with the familiar TomTom user interface.

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

No text-to-speech conversion.

TomTom ONE XLS: High-end Features at a Budget Price

Text-to-speech at a budget price., Wide screen., Nice look and solid construction.

No automatic day-night mode., No automatic on-off with car ignition.

When people ask me for advice on which in-car GPS to buy, I ask them about their needs, but I always recommend that they spend enough to get true text-to-speech directions. Text-to-speech means that you will hear the actual names of the streets (or...

TomTom ONE XL-S review

The TomTom ONE XL-S, updates the TomTom ONE XL, adding text-to-speech to its feature set. That way, you'll get “turn left on Oak Street in 500 feet” rather than just “turn left in 500 feet.” It also includes Map Share, though that is also available on...

TomTom ONE XL Review

TomTom's ONE XL is the wide-screen version of the TomTom ONE. Priced at around $400, the updated ONE XL sports a 4.3" wide display and adds support for TomTom's real-time traffic service.

New Wide Screen. Same Old Problems.
