TomTom XL 340 S

It will get you where you need to go

Review Date: July 29, 2010

Reviewer: Michael J. Crow, Hutchinson,MN

Having a GPS to give you good directions to places in areas you are not familiar with is a great help. There's nothing worse than getting lost or writing down direction only to find out you wrote them down wrong.

With this Tom Tom unit getting lost shouldn't be a problem.

It has voice directions to you don't need to constantly be looking at the unit. You can enter GPS coordiantes, addresses or intersections to get directions. There is also a Point of Interst section where you can find the nearest gas station, store or whatever you need.

Afeature I like is that it tells you which lane to be in, which is important for not missing exits. Another one is that it tells you the speed limit on the road you are driving. It will give you an estimate of when you will arrive at your destination and tell you what speed you are traveling. If you happen to run into a road block, you can tap the "road block" button and it will navigate around it. If traffic is slow on the current route, you can tap "alternative route" and it will take your destination via a different route.

While I like the Tom Tom Xl340, it does have it's flaws:

1- The voice warning for turns is often too late for you to actually make the turn.
2- The screen is very hard to see in bright sun.
3- battery life isn't very good (shouldn't be an issue though with the included car charger)
4- Updating the maps can take hours.
5- It sometimes takes a long time for it to pick up at GPS signal when comming out of building.
6- The direction it gives you will get you where you need to go but often is taking the longest route. Sometimes it even has you drive in circles, literally.
7- The maps are not complete. My street isn't even there, some others I've been on are not either even after updating the maps. It seems the closer to a metro area you are the better the maps are.
