 TomTom 3rd Edition is better September 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have been using the TomTom 3rd edition for more than a year so I decided to buy another TomTom for a second vehicle. I got the XL just for the extra size. As experienced TomTom used noticing the differences is a very simple fact, here my experience.
Positives:
- The widescreen is nice; you can see a bit more on the sides while driving.
Negatives:
- It is very heavy, if you mostly drive pavement then you should be fine but some bumps will get the GPS right on the floor.
- The design is not optimum, is you closely see the picture, you will see that the actual screen is significantly smaller than the unit itself. There is a gray frame around the screen which is wasting precious space unnecessarily.
- The volume changes up spontaneously. This may be a problem to this unit perhaps? I have read some other reviews about volume problems but my unit is unable to keep the volume stable (in fact I returned this unit because of this reason). The volume will go up or down when you are not expecting it.
- The voices are not clear; my 3rd edition is significantly louder and clearer.
- The brightness of the unit is miserable; the 3rd edition is also significantly brighter, comparing both units side-by-side, the 3rd edition offers an image that is brighter, sharper and very clear. The XL looks like an old worn out LCD monitor. Driving during daylight and wearing sun glasses you will have significant problems to visually identify details on the XL. That is not a problem I ever had with the 3rd edition (read my TomTom 3rd edition review if you want additional details).
So as you can see, my XL was going back in no time. I'm willing to try the TomTom XL 330S for $100 bucks more but if I don't get convinced, I'll buy another 3rd edition, this last unit has a cost/performance that exceeds my expectations.
Finally and besides the screen size, both units are identical. They catch signal quickly, the menus are almost the same with little differences but still all the options are basically the same. I have to rate it low because of all the problems I have found on it, I don't consider it a good purchase.
Not the best GPS September 5, 2008

The directions are quite accurate, but the screen freezes when you go through tunnels. Sometimes, it will stay that way without any signal for upto 30 minutes. I called customer service to resolve this issue and they were less than helpful, so I returned it.

This product is so great that I bought this for my son after owning mine for a year. I took mine Back East and was able to get around on a vacatiion with no problem. It's the absolute best: Light weight, portable, easy to figure out. Love it!!!

Glad I purchased one of as a gift for my other half, we took it on vacation and it was just extremely easy to use. Never got lost!! Just Look-up the address and away you go. If you take a wrong turn it will automatically find a different route to get you back on track. Definitely would recommend.TomTom 1S00.080 ONE XL 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator - Map of US and Canada
