TomTom XL 340-S 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator customer reviews:

Easy to Use and inexpensive.

I travel to various regions of the country (US) and normally rent a gps through the rental car company. Rencently though I bought a TomTom XL 340TM 4.3-Inch Portable GPS.

It was inexpensive so I was somewhat pensive on its ability to be an effective navigation device. Here are some thoughts on the device:

Pros
-The unit is fairly intuitive from entering and address to reading the display information to changing volume.
-Volume control is speed sensitive so when you enter a freeway the volume increases accordingly
-The Advanced Lane Guidance feature makes it easy to determine exits off of freeways. The proper exit is shown with green arrows on the screen so if there are multiple lane exits you have ample time to merge
-On the top right of the screen it shows you the next intersection that coincides with your exit/turn and displays it in miles and minutes.
-On the bottom of the screen a display shows you how many miles and how much time you have left in your trip
-Your speed limit and the posted speed limit is shown on the right/bottom of screen
-Voice controls are clear and give you ample time prior to a lane/change or turn.
-Adding an itinerary was easy once I understood how to add waypoints to make the most efficient trip possible. This took me about 10 minutes of playing with the device but was easy to do once the process was understood.
-When searching for an address, you can click on the "State" Icons and choose which state where your destination is to help search for the city faster.
-Traffic Delays were nice to have and were fairly accurate when I was driving in the DC/Virginia/MD areas
-The 4.3" screen display was ample in terms of size and readability
-The Fold & Go EasyPort Mount was simple to use and easy to attach to the windshield.

Cons
-Volume control, although intuitive can be a little touchy when increasing or decreasing the volume.
-Touchscreen is sometimes not super responsive
Overall, this was a great unit and I highly recommend it!

Generally, it is a good choice.

When I was in NYC and Washington DC, it seemed not very easy to navigate when walking. Sometimes, I cannot even get signal when I really need to use it. However, when drive the car with it, it works awesome.

Very good GPS for the price.

I had a Garmin. I happily gave it up for this simple TomTom GPS. I live in New York City and very much appreciate the IQ Routes (especially going through Brooklyn), Lifetime traffic (no added fees) and Lifetime map updates (again no added fees). The destination time accuracy is almost always on the mark. That is the most important aspect for me.

Some things I don't like are: the touch screen (feels flimsy and sometimes hard to input data), the low memory (huge flaw but I guess that's why it is priced the way it is), the lag in pulling up trip map details, unable to build multiple stop route with final destination time calculation (i.e. it can do an itinerary but will not calculate whole trip time, just each leg at a time), and unable to see new alternate routes before agreeing to be rerouted on them. I am sure there are more but they are small.

Overall the GPS gets me where I need to go and I usually trust the fastest routes, unlike my old Garmin. I highly recommend for those in New York City who are on a budget.

TomTom no match for Garmin Nuvi

This is my second GPS (third if you include the Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS Receiver With Heart Rate Monitor). I compared this review unit with a Garmin nüvi 855 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator with Speech Recognition that I purchased earlier in the year.

I ran around town with both the TomTom and Garmin giving me maps and directions, and found the TomTom's timing and prompts much less useful than the Garmin's. The maps had much less detail - the Garmin shows bodies of water, side roads, etc., none of which appeared on the TomTom. The icons to locate nearby services were not easily discerned while driving. The menus and functionality were awkward.

I was not able to test the traffic feed, as my city is too small, so will have to post more on that after my son in Los Angeles tests that out later.

For many things, the weaknesses of the TomTom are addressed by the Garmin, but the weaknesses of the Garmin (and there are some) are addressed by the TomTom. But, overall, for maps, POIs, navigation, voice prompt quality, easy of use, total number of features, features of the web site for updates and interface with Google maps, etc., I think one would do better looking at the Garmin line, even with its faults.

Posting some photos comparing the two units.

Great GPS hampered by TomTom Home software

I bought this GPS (XL340TM Live) for two features:

1) IQ Routes
2) MapShare corrections

The GPS itself is great, but the TomTom Home software was unable to download the Latest Map Guarantee (the GPS was new and not refurbished) and neither was it able to accept and process the lifetime maps activation.

Several calls to TomTom tech support were unable to fix the problems with this unit. The TomTom tech support was polite, responsive but not very useful.

I ended up returning the unit and purchasing an XL350TM for $20 less. That unit was able to get updated maps and lifetime map code also worked.

The LIVE service is SLOW and with the lifetime traffic and my iPhone, it is quite useless.
