TomTom XL 335T - US & Canada Automotive GPS Receiver

I wanted a GPS with the following components: 1.) brand name; 2.) lifetime traffic updates 3.) 4.3" screen 4.) lane guidance. The TomTom XL 335T has all that and some. It has spoken street names when using the standard computer voice (you cannot use celebrity voices to speak street names like if you were to use Ozzie or Darth Vader). This GPS does not have bluetooth capabilities, but who needs the feature if you have one already. Besides, you can get a decent one for $20 - $50 and I don't think the clarity on the GPS would be as crisp as a bluetooth headset. I found that the XL 335T transmits and re-routes rather quickly. When calculating a route, it prompts you to include or avoid carpool lane and bridge tolls (very handy). I also like how in the event the GPS picks up a traffic signal, you have the option to take an alternate route to avoid a delay (I've used this in the greater Los Angeles area and saved me 20 mins to get home during rush hour mind you). The GPS has a whole myriad of features such as day and night screen, which allows for less harm on your eyes, change your vehicle icon to sports car, SUV, etc. All in all, it's easy to use.....I love it! I don't understand why people would spend hundreds more on a Garmin or Magellan. My mother-in-law has a TomTom Go 740 I believe and don't get me wrong, it's a much sophisticated appearing and noticeably heavier GPS, but it comes with a price. Her GPS has a bluetooth feature and more options on features than my XL 335T has, but I don't need to spend an extra $140 on a GPS that should serve the same purpose of allowing me to lessen my commute times and get me to my destinations. Heck, if were given a TomTom GO 740 for free, I'd sell my XL 335T. Try it for yourself!

I bought the Portable GPS TOMTOM XL 335T Four weeks ago and was immediately impressed with the number of features available on this inexpensive GPS. It has a 1 GB of internal Memory, Touch Screen and speakerphone. The New GPS's size is perfect for carrying and the battery has long duraation.

We have had a Garmin for over a year and half and have, for the most part, been satisfied. Bought this TomTom based on reputation and price because we needed a second GPS. By comparison, the Garmin wins out, hands down. More accurate directions and maps and unlike this version of TomTom, provides street names as you go. Paid about the same price for both, but would highly recommend the Garmin over the TomTom for the money.

love the big screen amd easy touch buttons. but tomtoms are not designed to be able to input letters into house address. where i live are address starts with a letter. (example... w364 s5634 main st) without the letter input this device is useless to me. even the next upgraded version has same issue. i called tomtom and they told me they are working on problem but had no time frame in mind.

Great value with the larger face. It make sit easy to read and much easier to use. With the update feature you can get others users updates for free and it helps keep the GPS up to date without expensive paid updates. Very user friendly and sefl explanatory it is a drivers best friend.
