Sensible routes from TomTom's IQ Routes ; Generous database of 7 million POIs ; Live traffic receiver integrated into power cable on traffic-enabled models

No Bluetooth ; Missing some features found on the XXL 540 series

The XXL 550-TM provides TomTom's usual impressive navigation features, and adds a roomy 5-inch screen. Included lifetime traffic and lifetime map updates make this the best 5.0" navigator choice.

The latest TomTom model to reach New Zealand features a 5-inch touchscreen and a few new features that will prove particularly useful for city-dwellers.
