If you are going on an adventure, try not to go with Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard or Michael C. Williams. These guys are known to get lost in the woods and get attacked by witches. They do not seem like the right traveling buddies to have. A legend like Mr. T for instance, he would never get lost using the TomTom XL 340-S. Mr. T would only pity one fool, himself. This GPS can be mounted on your windshield and you never have to worry about a witch using you as an ingredient in their witches brew!

The TomTom XL 340-S offers the unique “advanced lane guidance” feature. Other devices that are available do not include this feature and end up making drivers look like drunk drivers swerving all over the road because of a missed exit. The TomTom XL 340-S provides a clear diagram with flashing arrows that show you exactly where to go.

Another great feature that is included is “IQ routes”. These routes are calculated using road date to provide the quickest route to your end destination. If the traffic is heavy where you are driving, this GPS will guide you to the closest roads with lighter traffic. This is a great feature that allows you to not rely on a speed limit.

This GPS device has its own built-in software. It can be easily connected to your personal computer or Macintosh. TomTom software automatically installs itself on your computer. This software allows you to plan routes, add maps and add updates. You can even add voices.

Since you like Mr. T so much, you can add his legendary vocals to your GPS for $13. You can also select user created voices to add to the device. You probably have a massive ego, just add your own vocals if you want.

The TomTom XL 340-S provides easy to follow tutorials that explain different features like the bonus emergency help service. You are able to create map corrections (i.e. addresses, points of interest, street names etc.) and plan an itinerary. The device is really very cool.

Unfortunately, XL 340-S GPS is not able to support real time traffic data or Bluetooth. You would have to purchase a separate receiver. This GPS is definitely worth the price though. You will be assured of never getting lost again, unless you are trapped on Mars or something similar. The XL 340-S won’t be able to show you how to return to Earth. It’s good, but not that good! The TomTom XL 340-S includes North American maps with over 7,000,000 points of interest indicated. You will likely never have a chance to visit all of these places, but better safe than sorry.

This device has many more advantages than it has disadvantages. If you want to travel to Fantasy Island, you will be able to find your way home with this device. If real time traffic info or Bluetooth are important to you, then this may not be for you. The TomTom XL 340-S has become successful for a very good reason. It is definitely one of the best GPS devices on the market. Have you ever thought about who would name their GPS TomTom? Seriously, TomTom may be a great name for a band, but for a GPS?
