A Short Intro on TomTom Car GPS
The TomTom ONE XL-S introduces a wide screen 4.3-inch display, with 480×272 resolution, that gives you a better view of the road. This Car GPS has text-to-speech directional capability. This makes navigation much more convenient. You can hear the GPS read you street names along with many other directions. One unique feature in TomTom GPS units is the Map Share services. Map Share allows you to download from the TomTom website maps updated constantly by the TomTom community of users. It has partial Bluetooth functionality. The Bluetooth feature is for delivering optional services other than hands free calling, including weather data and real-time traffic updates.
The TomTom ONE 140S has navigation characteristics as one of the main strengths with accuracy far more superior than the older models. There are two features that work together really well in improving the navigation experience which are the IQ Routes and Map Share features. Advanced features contain the advanced lane guidance which has the lane information highlighted to allow better route planning and bigger risk reductions in making the wrong turn. Fuel prices can be downloaded on demand which can be of great aid to budget conscious drivers finding the best nearby gasoline station. The TomTom ONE 140S is a small and portable GPS device with plenty of power packed inside.
The TomTom XL 340S is an entry level GPS device whereby the setup was made really simple allowing you to use it immediately after it is unboxed. The main menu is fairly simple with some meaningful icons leading to the key features. There is the advanced lane guidance feature that functions very well in highways where certain exits need to be made. With the Text-To-Speech feature, drivers can concentrate on their driving. The maps are adequate, but should be updated instantly via downloadable content to get any missing signs. This GPS has the ability to download fuel prices so you can discover the nearest gas station which can help you put aside the most money.
