When we reviewed the
TomTom One last year, we were impressed by its ease of use, affordable price tag, and good performance. Now, the company has released a new model in the product line called the TomTom One XL ($399.99) that adds a larger, 4.3-inch touch screen and, well, that's about it. On the one hand, it's great because the One XL continues to offer all the navigation basics with the same user-friendly interface and accurate directions. On the other hand, for the same price, you can get more for your money with GPS devices like the
Mio C520, which adds text-to-speech functionality, or the
Magellan Maestro 4000. In short, the TomTom One XL is a perfectly fine system for drivers who want a basic system and for
GPS newbies, but there are just better values out there.
