I've just had the occasion to place my excited petite hands colse to the new TomTom One Xl. Previously a Garmin Gps fan I was thought about to keep an open mind about either the new TomTom One Xl could live up to the hype. Well my Gps friends you will not be disappointed.
As you know previously I have only full endorsed two Gps's and they were the Garmin 350 & 660. Well now we have other winner to add to the list - the TomTom One Xl.
This petite charm is adequate with a 4.3 inch screen and weighs in at 7.4 ounces. Apparently it is an upgraded version of the TomTom One 3.5 inch but since I haven't seen the former I can't say how alike they are.
The pixel definition is superb. All the map info is now stored on a tiny flash-drive inside the unit which makes for updating maps very easy.
Overall the infer that the TomTom has impressed me so much is that the screen clarity, auto zoom and screen refresh rate is flawless.
Now with all this excitement you would think that I'm about to advise marriage, but alas it is my duty to give you both the good and the bad on this petite navigator and there are few areas where the function lets you down.
Most notably is that you are unable to see the names of the roads that are upcoming on your map until you are approximately already on them. If you wholly trust the law or are well-known with the roads in the area then that won't be a qoute but if you are like me and need to know a few streets in expand what street name that you'll be turning at then that can be frustrating.
If you are a control freak like me then that one flaw might cause a bit of annoyance but widespread I think the TomTom One Xl is a winner.
