Satellite navigation systems have been around and in full commercial stretch for almost five to six years now. Most of them have come up with timely updates as for enhancing customer satisfaction through the interfaces and features provided. Tom Tom has always been trying to come up with customer friendly navigation gadgets when it comes to GPS systems since the date they embarked in to the industry. Let’s take a short review on Tom Tom XL 340, one of the most successful models from Tom Tom.
Tom Tom XL 340 is a success when we talk about the mid range GPS devices in its full sense. The basic features including the physical ones and the technical ones seem to be almost same with any other similar GPS device of the range. The centre of attraction with Tom Tom XL 340 is two key features – the IQ Routes and the Advanced Lane Guidance. IQ routes cannot be compared with the live traffic updates that is available in many high end models these days, but is one step below that. It makes use of the historical data to make statistical analysis to inform drivers on the fastest routes.
Advanced lane guidance offers safe turn by turn directions. Large intersections are displayed with greater details and free way exits are made to appear more clearly assisting the driver to never miss out any deviations in the route.
Live traffic updates with in-built receivers and such features can cost you a bit extra, but remember most people give less preference to certain features that they never even use once in a lifetime and simply shed some extra dollars on them.
