REVIEWS

CNET reviews the TomTom One XL and writes;

“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.”

CNET.AU reviews the TomTom One XL and writes;

“If you spent a lot of time driving around unfamiliar areas, the TomTom One could save enormous amounts of time and frustration. Granted, the design does have a couple of minor issues, and the lack of a printed manual is a little irksome, but the navigation can’t be faulted.”

YourNav reviews the TomTom One XL and writes;

“We’ve got mixed feelings when it comes to the ONE XL. On one hand we like the new 4.3 inch screen very much, but on the other hand we have to admit we do miss the size and the handiness of the normal ONE, but hey, you can’t have it all… This doesn’t mean we don’t believe the ONE XL will become a success. Because for it’s price, you’re buying a very good-looking, well-performing navigational device which will lead you, worry free, throughout the UK or even Europe.”

GPSMagazine reviews the TomTom One XL and writes;

“With the ONE XL, TomTom has delivered a GPS that’s heavy on style and light on navigation. Given the poor routing performance, slowness, and various other issues with the ONE XL, I recommend a similarly priced Garmin or Magellan GPS instead — either will be better at the GPS’ core function: navigation.”

PCMag reviews the TomTom One XL and writes;

“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 CN520, the Magellan Maestro 4040, and the Garmin nüvi 600 series.”

Pocket-Lint reviews the TomTom One XL and writes;

“At £249, the TomTom One XL offers you just a little bit more screen size on top of what is a fantastic entry-level solution that works and works well. The main benefit and selling point, is that the software is easy to use and the build quality excellent, rather than the increased size and unless you do lots of city driving. Good, but we personally prefer size out of the car to size in the car.”

PocketGPSWorld reviews the TomTom One XL and writes;

“The screen is nice and bright, measuring 480 x 272 pixels and using 64k colours. Personally I like the landscape view and went into partial mourning when TomTom removed the option on their Navigator software…. The mount could be better, it’s too fiddly to connect the cables to the device in most vehicles I have tried it in – the accessory option looks the better choice in my opinion for a decent quality mount. ”

GoodGearGuide reviews the TomTom One XL and writes;

“The ONE XL adds a larger display and a new design to an already outstanding GPS unit. At this price, it’s the best value for money on the market and combines excellent navigation and an outstanding user experience.”
