TomTom One XL Review
TomTom One XL has a bright screen and pre-loaded maps right out of the box. It also picks up your location quickly and has built in bluetooth capabilities. The main difference between the XL and the One is that the XL has a larger screen 4.3" compared to it's predecesser at 3.5" and an option for real-time traffic via a bluetooth enabled device such as a cell phone. This unit is compact and very portable.
What is great about the TomTom One XL Gps?
The TomTom One XL has a large, bright touch screen and comes with pre-loaded maps right out of the box. This unit picks up your location quickly and has built in bluetooth. This also enables you to add optional services, like real-time traffic and weather information as long as you have a bluetooth enabled cell phone. I don't believe this service is available in the united states at this time. I also do not no if it will ever be available in the US for this device. It has a large choice of routes including the fastest, shortest, non-toll roads, highways and more. This GPS also speaks instructions very clearly.
What is not so good about the TomTom One XL?
The unit does have text-to-speech capability. Restaurants are not listed by type in the POI database. It is not easy to view contact information. The menus are a bit laborous to get through. Bluetooth cannot be used for hands free.
TomTom One XL features include, and SD card slot, which allow you add additional maps and POI.
There is a power button located on the top of the unit, which is easy to press.
The TomTom has the mini-USB power inlet/connection on the bottom.
It has a 2D and 3D map perspective as with most Gps's these days.
This unit uses an internal lithium ion battery that the manufacturer estimates will last 2 hrs, but it does include a car power adapter.
The TomTom One XL offers numerous POI like, gas stations, motels, restaurants, ATMs, beaches and concert locations. However there is no easy way to search for these locations unless you are browsing the map.
You do have the option of choosing between 55 different voices with various accents that are built in to the device.
The following is included in the box (American Version):
car charger
USB cable
windshield/dash mount
software CD
reference material
1-year limited warranty card
What the TomTom One XL offers is ease of use, a large, bright touch screen, accurate directions, and quickly finds your location.
In my opinion this is not a bad gps but you can get more for the same price in other gps units.
The price at the time of this article ranges from $229-$300 for this unit.
