TomTom XL 340-S Plus Review
If you are going on an adventure, try not to go with Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard or Michael C. Williams. These guys are known to get lost in the woods and get attacked by witches. They do not seem like the right traveling buddies to have. A legend like Mr. T for instance, he would never get lost using the TomTom XL 340-S. Mr. T would only pity one fool, himself. This GPS can be mounted on your windshield and you never have to worry about a witch using you as an ingredient in their witches brew!
The TomTom XL 340-S offers the unique “advanced lane guidance” feature. Other devices that are available do not include this feature and end up making drivers look like drunk drivers swerving all over the road because of a missed exit. The TomTom XL 340-S provides a clear diagram with flashing arrows that show you exactly where to go.
Another feature include is “IQ routes”. These routes calculate road data for the quickest route you should use to arrive at your destination quickly. If you are driving in heavy traffic, this GPS will guide you to the nearby roads with lighter traffic. It’s a great feature and you won’t need to rely on the speed limit.
This GPS device has its own built-in software. It can be easily connected to your personal computer or Macintosh. TomTom software automatically installs itself on your computer. This software allows you to plan routes, add maps and add updates. You can even add voices.
Since you like Mr. T so much, you can add his legendary vocals to your GPS for $13. You can also select user created voices to add to the device. You probably have a massive ego, just add your own vocals if you want.
The TomTom XL 340-S provides tutorials for different features and additional bonuses like the emergency help service. You will be able to plan your itinerary and make map correction to things like street names, addresses, and points of interest. This GPS really is rather cool.
The TomTom XL 340-S is unable to support Bluetooth or any real time traffic data (a separate receiver can be purchased). Even so, the XL-340-S is worth the price. You will have peace of mind, knowing that you will never get lost again. That is of course unless you have ventured to the planet Mars. This GPS is good, but its not good enough to guide you from Mars to Earth. The TomTom XL 340-S includes North American maps that feature over 7 million points of interest. It is likely that you will never visit every one of these places, but no harm, no foul.
This device has many more advantages than it has disadvantages. If you want to travel to Fantasy Island, you will be able to find your way home with this device. If real time traffic info or Bluetooth are important to you, then this may not be for you. The TomTom XL 340-S has become successful for a very good reason. It is definitely one of the best GPS devices on the market. Have you ever thought about who would name their GPS TomTom? Seriously, TomTom may be a great name for a band, but for a GPS?
