Like TomTom's other navigation systems, the ONE XL gives you coverage in all fifty of the United States, as well as Canada--all stored on 1 GB of internal memory.

But it's not just the broad geographical coverage that makes the TomTom ONE XL special. The user-friendly design also puts it a step above other navigation systems. The crystal-clear multicolor display makes for exceptionally easy viewing of maps, routes, driving directions, and other traveling information, such as mileage and distance. Measuring 4.3 inches, the TFT display offers an expanded widescreen view of brilliant two- and three-dimensional graphics. The device also features 32 MB RAM and 266 MHz CPU, making it responsive and zippy. Using the USB port and the provided cable, you can use your PC to add your own points of interest. Memory expansion is made possible by an SD card slot.

The ONE XL provides clear and accurate turn-by-turn voice instructions, so that you don't have to take your eyes off the road while your vehicle is on the move. Voice instructions are issued at a speed-sensitive volume, so as your vehicle's engine becomes louder or quieter as your speed changes, the volume adjusts itself accordingly, guaranteeing clear and easy listening. And because voice instructions are available in over 30 languages, just about anyone will find the TomTom ONE XL to be an invaluable system.

With its touch-sensitive screen, the TomTom ONE XL puts programming and operation literally at your fingertips to make sophisticated technology simple. The built-in database offers thousands of points of interest for you to use as destinations or reference points as you plan your trip. The ONE XL will also provide a selection of available routes, giving you the option of avoiding toll roads or choosing between the quickest or the most scenic routes. The database includes zip codes to simplify your route selection, and for extra convenience, the ONE XL lets you save the addresses of frequent destinations, making route planning easier and faster than ever. Other display features include a compass mode to assist you with directional orientation, and an anti-glare screen for optimal viewing even in direct sunlight.

For additional navigational features to assist with trip planning, the built-in Bluetooth connection provides access to TomTom PLUS subscription-based services, so that you can tune in to the latest traffic and weather conditions, as well as download additional city maps, voices, points of interest, and much more. The ONE XL adds to these capabilities with FM radio-based RDS-TMC traffic information as an available accessory (not included).

Weighing less than 10 ounces and measuring 3.4 x 4.7 x 1.2 inches, the TomTom ONE XL can be easily installed in any vehicle. An included windshield suction mount holds it in place. Plus, with an operating temperature range of an icy -10 degrees to a sweltering 55 degrees Celsius (14 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit), the navigator is durable enough for New England winters or Arizona summers. The TomTom ONE XL is powered by an internal lithium ion battery that can be charged from your vehicle's cigarette lighter with the included 12-24V adapter.

Rating: - TomTom 3rd Edition is better
I have been using the TomTom 3rd edition for more than a year so I decided to buy another TomTom for a second vehicle. I got the XL just for the extra size. As experienced TomTom used noticing the differences is a very simple fact, here my experience.

Positives:
- The widescreen is nice; you can see a bit more on the sides while driving.

Negatives:
- It is very heavy, if you mostly drive pavement then you should be fine but some bumps will get the GPS right on the floor.
- The design is not optimum, is you closely see the picture, you will see that the actual screen is significantly smaller than the unit itself. There is a gray frame around the screen which is wasting precious space unnecessarily.
- The volume changes up spontaneously. This may be a problem to this unit perhaps? I have read some other reviews about volume problems but my unit is unable to keep the volume stable (in fact I returned this unit because of this reason). The volume will go up or down when you are not expecting it.
- The voices are not clear; my 3rd edition is significantly louder and clearer.
- The brightness of the unit is miserable; the 3rd edition is also significantly brighter, comparing both units side-by-side, the 3rd edition offers an image that is brighter, sharper and very clear. The XL looks like an old worn out LCD monitor. Driving during daylight and wearing sun glasses you will have significant problems to visually identify details on the XL. That is not a problem I ever had with the 3rd edition (read my TomTom 3rd edition review if you want additional details).

So as you can see, my XL was going back in no time. I'm willing to try the TomTom XL 330S for $100 bucks more but if I don't get convinced, I'll buy another 3rd edition, this last unit has a cost/performance that exceeds my expectations.

Finally and besides the screen size, both units are identical. They catch signal quickly, the menus are almost the same with little differences but still all the options are basically the same. I have to rate it low because of all the problems I have found on it, I don't consider it a good purchase.

Rating: - Not the best GPS
The directions are quite accurate, but the screen freezes when you go through tunnels. Sometimes, it will stay that way without any signal for upto 30 minutes. I called customer service to resolve this issue and they were less than helpful, so I returned it.

Rating: - Never a problem getting around again
This product is so great that I bought this for my son after owning mine for a year. I took mine Back East and was able to get around on a vacatiion with no problem. It's the absolute best: Light weight, portable, easy to figure out. Love it!!!

Rating: - Glad I got One!!
Glad I purchased one of as a gift for my other half, we took it on vacation and it was just extremely easy to use. Never got lost!! Just Look-up the address and away you go. If you take a wrong turn it will automatically find a different route to get you back on track. Definitely would recommend.TomTom 1S00.080 ONE XL 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator - Map of US and Canada
