    The TomTom ONE XL is essentially a widescreen version of the TomTom ONE. Though it has the largest screen in TomTom's lineup of products, it lacks the text-to-speech conversion found in competing GPS devices with 4.3-inch screens, such as the Mio CN520, the Magellan Maestro 4040, and the Garmin nüvi 600 series. Read more

    • Has a big 4.3-inch screen. Excellent language support. Comes with multisegment routing and user-configurable screen.
    • No text-to-speech conversion.

    Tweet UPDATE: This model has been discontinued. For a list of current TomTom models and their features, please see our TomTom comparison chart . The TomTom ONE XL updates the popular TomTom ONE , adding a wider 4.3" touch-screen. This GPS receiver comes with pre-loaded maps of the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico and is ready for real-time traffic services via a subscription to TomTom Traffic or the purchase of an RDS-TMC traffic receiver.

    TomTom's ONE XL is the wide-screen version of the . Priced at around $400, the updated ONE XL sports a 4.3" wide display and adds support for TomTom's real-time traffic service. Last year I reviewed the , and although there was much to praise, the ONE suffered from poor maps, terrible customer support, and a sub-par routing engine. Has TomTom fixed all that ailed the ONE and delivered a stylish, user-friendly wide-screen GPS for under $400? Read more

    The new TomTom One XL may be much larger than the standard TomTom One but does it get much more than some extra fries? With a massive screen, Bluetooth  and full UK or European maps it should be a good bit of kit. Read more

    All the complaints I've listed above indicate that this TomTom isn't perfect. But they're not major enough problems to persuade me that TomTom is about to relinquish its crown as the king of in-car sat-nav. The One XL is easy to use, provides clear and sensible driving instructions and isn't even that expensive – for £245 (check which maps are supplied before you buy) you can get the European maps version and if you shop around, the UK and Ireland version can be found...

    is the follow-up widescreen version of the successful second generation TomTom ONE that was launched last year. Since the TomTom ONE was launched, the GPS world has gone widescreen, and , the widescreen version of the flat form factor TomTom ONE was a sure-fire sequel. For those who are familiar with the TomTom interface, this won’t be a big change from what you’re used to. Read more

    The TOMTOM ONE XL would be OK if it came with an up-dated map but it dosn't, you can download one free from tomtom's website but everybody dosen't have highspeed internet and dialup takes 70+ hours. I don't think so! It needs an update badly. alot of missing information. The websites service center was no hope. I never found a link after two nites where I could tell my problem to someone. Just self-serve links. Forget the phone. Read more

    You can save enough money from NOT calling 411 for phone numbers that are already in the POI's to pay for itself in a year. Basically its pre-loaded yellow pages. Instantly find restaurants, gas stations, any amusement places, and hospital, etc. or any place you need to find FAST! Read more

    We have had this sat nav for over 3 years now. I'm not the most technical person but I will try my hardest in giving you my opinion on it! *Price and Availability* As we have had ours so long it has now been updated and there is a newer version available. However, I remember we paid £179.99 for our edition and the updated version (Tom Tom XL Live) is available for £147.99 (Halfords website) or there is one which also has maps for Europe which is selling for £165.99.
