Paying for traffic data; no AC adaptor; no multimedia
Whether you want a simple, out-of-the-box sat nav or a smart, flexible companion for complex journeys, the TomTom One XL Europe or TomTom One XL Regional will fit the bill. Its not cheap and lacks the flash media functionality of some rivals, but whe...
Suffice to say, were far from impressed with the Tom Tom ONE XL Regional – and its far from the first Tom Tom unit weve reviewed that weve also had issues with. On only one of the five different journeys weve used it on has it behaved impeccably....
Big screen, Text-to-speech, Map Share, Great downloads and add-ons
Setting up text-to-speech is flawed, Can’t totally customize POIs, *

Abstract: Phew, from out of the blue comes the TomTom One XL, in regional or Europe flavours. The original TomTom One, and its follow-up have been great successes, and the unit has now been updated with a lovely widescreen, but still in a slimline case. Lets ta...
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 t...
The system doesnt support text-to-speech functionality. Restaurants are not broken down by cuisine type in the POI database, and theres no easy way to view contact information for POI.
