User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars TomTom XL 340 S
We received our new TomTom on the date promised and at a price $50 lower than we could find locally.
The unit aquires satellite signal very quickly which is great. Names of roads and streets are provided well in advance with lane guidance being of great value. When we searched for “points of interest” we found exactly what we were looking for quickly.
We have not taken any major trips yet so it’s difficult to assess the unit fully, but we are very pleased. We had a high end Magellan unit before and believe this unit to be equal or better.
5 Stars Excellent routing!
This unit is worth buying just for the IQ routes! The most important feature of any GPS is its competence in routing. I have owned several brands of GPS, including Garmin and Mio. This one has the best routing yet! It always seems to choose a route that a local driver would choose. Some local drivers could even learn some better routes with this thing.
The text to speech voice works well. Like other TomToms, it is very easy to customize in terms of the information you wish to display on the screen.
The screen could be brighter. The windshield mount does not hold as securely as one would wish. I use an Arkon vent mount.
5 Stars Best Overall
With value and cost in mind, this GPS ranks near the top. A comparable Garmin is $400. The features on the Tom Tom Live 740 are not worth the additional cost. Traffic and LIVE features are imperfect on most GPS models at this time unless they are coupled with cell service. Even then, they are still imperfect. There are a few errors on the map, but they are easily correctable with the map correction feature. I recommend this GPS product highly.
4 Stars Good Product
I like the user interface of the Tom Tom GPS products. I bought this because it has all features I like from GO products minus bluetooth and voice prompts as Tomtom bluetooth work with only selective products.
Pros
User friendly
Ability to update the map, poi, speed, road blocks etc
latest map
Con
I did notice it take 2 to 3 mins to lock in the satellite connection.
5 Stars Each Generation of TomTom Gets Better
This is my second TomTom (Previously had the GO 910) and this version is amazingly better. I wanted to upgrade due to the tremendous advances in the newer versions. Start up time is smoking fast, the new Advanced Lane Guidance is awesome, and the compact size and mounting hardware are first rate. I loved my first TomTom but I love my new 340-S even more.
