TomTom ONE XL Europe

TomTom’s XL Traffic Europe GPS receiver is an entry level device with a nicely sized 4.3-inch TFT LCD widescreen with anti-glare properties and a sharp picture thanks to its 480 x 272 pixels, WQVGA, and 64k colors. Easy to setup and with TomTom’s usual highly usable interface, the TomTom XL Europe comes with complete maps of Europe provided by TeleAtlas and connects to your PC via USB for map updates and MapShare for crowdsourced map corrections. Plenty of search options are available if you’re looking for a specific location running the gamut from latitude and longitude coordinates to a plain ol’ postcode and you’ll be able to access a TMC service for traffic updates via an external dongle. So is the TomTom XL Europe worth the money spent? With a quick response time and an effective design, it’s the perfect GPS device for someone looking for basic features. You won’t get some of TomTom’s advanced features such as IQ Routes and Advanced Land Guidance, but hey, it is an entry level device and will only set you back about £169.99 in the UK or if you’re looking for the equivalent model in the US with North American maps, expect to pay around $200.
