TomTom XL 340-S – The Review
The TomTom XL 340-S offers the unique “advanced lane guidance” feature. Other devices that are available do not include this feature and end up making drivers look like drunk drivers swerving all over the road because of a missed exit. The TomTom XL 340-S provides a clear diagram with flashing arrows that show you exactly where to go.
Another great feature that is included is “IQ routes”. These routes are calculated using road date to provide the quickest route to your end destination. If the traffic is heavy where you are driving, this GPS will guide you to the closest roads with lighter traffic. This is a great feature that allows you to not rely on a speed limit.
The TomTom XL 340-S has its own software built in. It is easy to connect it to a personal computer of a Macintosh. The software will automatically install itself onto your computer and will allow you to add updates, add maps, and plan routes. It is even possible to add different voices.
Since you like Mr. T so much, you can add his legendary vocals to your GPS for $13. You can also select user created voices to add to the device. You probably have a massive ego, just add your own vocals if you want.
The TomTom XL 340-S provides easy to follow tutorials that explain different features like the bonus emergency help service. You are able to create map corrections (i.e. addresses, points of interest, street names etc.) and plan an itinerary. The device is really very cool.
