TomTom XL GPS Device - 4.3" Touchscreen LCD, Voice Instructions, Foldable Mount

The new TomTom ONE and TomTom XL models come with TomToms unique Map Share technology, a latest map guarantee and pre-installed safety cameras.

EasyPort mount
The TomTom EasyPort mount has a unique, flexible design, allowing the user to fix their TomTom device securely to their desired position on the windscreen, using the strong, mechanical locking system. Once at their destination, the user can then remove it quickly and easily, with one twist, when leaving their vehicle. The clever design allows the driver to fold away the mount neatly onto the TomTom device and remove the entire unit, without having to worry about stowing the mount separately. Given the small size of the device and mount together, finding an easy and secure storage space in a bag, is no longer a problem. In addition, TomTom now offers two accessory cases to hold the device and mount combined as a neat, compact package.

Loud and clear voice instructions for safer driving
Independent safety research** has shown the importance of audible navigation instructions to road safety. While both the TomTom ONE and TomTom XL ranges have been redesigned, no compromise has been made on audio performance. The TomTom ONE and TomTom XL now include a much larger, enhanced speaker system, ensuring the spoken instructions are loud and clear at all times against any background noise within a typical in-car environment.

TomTom Map Share
Users of the new TomTom ONE and TomTom XL ranges will benefit from TomToms unique Map Share technology, with millions of corrections and improvements uploaded every month by the TomTom online user community. These can include changes in street names, road speed limits, turn restrictions, traffic directions and road blocks, as well as corrections to Points of Interest, such as phone numbers changes. Map Share enables drivers to improve their own maps instantly on their device, as well as receive the corrections from other users via TomTom HOME free desktop software. TomTom has the worlds largest satellite navigation community with approximately 20 million users, and Map Share means TomTom drivers can always have the most up-to-date maps and inside local knowledge at their fingertips.

Latest map guarantee
TomTom portable navigation devices are installed with the latest maps during production, however, customers can be reassured that if a new map is released during the first 30 days of using their new device, they are entitled to a free download of the latest map, via TomTom HOME.

Safety as a priority
Safety is a key priority in the development of all TomTom products. The new TomTom ONE and TomTom XL come with comprehensive safety features, so drivers always have direct access to safety and roadside assistance information wherever they go. The extensive Help Me! menu includes information such as emergency and breakdown service numbers, directions to the nearest hospital, car maintenance advice and first aid instructions. Advanced safety preferences also allow the user to set their own requirements regarding speed warnings, timed driving breaks and menu accessibility options.

TomTom HOME
As with all TomTom products, the new TomTom ONE and TomTom XL range comes with TomTom HOME, TomToms free desktop software for PC/Mac essential for keeping the TomTom device up to date at all times. Through TomTom HOME, customers can easily download new software versions, as well as the latest maps.

Drivers can personalise their device, ensuring their destination is reached in a relaxed and enjoyable way. A large and growing number of personalisation options, such as fun navigational voices, distinctive warning sounds, stylish welcome screens and a range of Points of Interest many of which have been created by the TomTom HOME user community can be downloaded via TomTom HOME free of charge (except for premium content).

Smart and fun extras
To complement the new range, TomTom has introduced a full range of accessories which have been designed specifically for the TomTom ONE and TomTom XL. The range includes new TomTom Sleeves (soft protective cases in black or red), durable protective cases, leather carry cases, additional mounts and USB home chargers.
