    8.0/10
    1 April 2011

    I've used this machine for 3 vacations and have been very happy with it. The re-calculation of route if a turn is missed has not been an issue with me. I like the fact that I can add my own 3rd party POIs easily. The newer Tomtom models have had this feature killed by Tomtom. I update the machine regularly with the Tomtom Home program which does a very good job. Read more

    • Price, clarity of the sound, screen image quality, build quality, windscreen mount all very good
    • Don't like the fact that Tomtom has not issued a fix for the 'turning on by itself' problem. Lots of people reporting this problem on the internet.

    TomTom’s XL 340 and XL 340S feature a larger 4.3 inch widescreen for easier viewing of navigation information compared to smaller screen navigators. The touchscreen has a WQVGA (480 x 272 pixels) resolution. Other headline features of the 340 models are the advanced route calculation of TomTom’s IQ Routes Technology and the assistance provided to drivers at intersections by TomTom’s Advanced Lane Guidance.

    I have had a GPS unit for a while now, so I thought I better check out one of the more recent devices to come on the market. TomTom are a well-known brand within this industry, so gave their XL340 IQ Routes Edition a go, and it made for an interesting experience. Programming is easy – you switch it on and a menu comes up. Hit "navigate to" , which takes you to another screen, where you hit "address" button and then "street and house number". Read more

    I have had this TomTom 340 for a year and a half so far, which was initially purchased to replace an outdated Garmin. I just cannot recommend this to anyone. The coverage is pretty good, though I did not have good coverage of highways when travelling to Houston. I do like the UI but its just slow. The HOME update process is beleaguered and outdated and tends to erase its own maps when trying to update on TomTom Home. Read more or see product

    Reviewer: ggruner, Newegg
    1 January 2010

    The suction cup mounting works great, with one caveat. I was mounting the GPS, then readjusting the hinge mount. I was then having the GPS fall off the windshield 5 minutes later. I realized that I was weakening the seal in the readjustment. So, after making the last adjustments, I unlocked the vacuum seal, then relocked it. Never a problem after doing that. I drove a Penske truck 400 miles, with major vibration without issues. Read more
