Teigen 0 #2 December 25, 2009 Quotelooking at getting one. Any VALID opinions on why i should or should not buy one? I have the TomTom XL ONE.. And i love it! user friendly interface. quick navigation! So my guess is the xl340 is probably just what you're looking for! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SWATcop 0 #3 December 25, 2009 I have had this model for about a year and I like it. It won't always get you to an airport DZ but it usually gets you close enough to find it.Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vitriol 0 #4 December 25, 2009 If you shop around you can find the tomtom Go630 (superior model) for cheaper than the xl340. The Go models are much faster, and many options that are disabled on the xl340 are enabled on the go series. Go models have bluetooth and memory card slot, while I think the 340xl has internal memory (not upgradable). only thing i don't like about the go630 is that it doesn't have the mexico map loaded in (have to buy it separately). It is loaded on the xl340. hope this helps! edit: I just saw the go630 on amazon.com for 146$ , you might be able to find it for even cheaper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrwrong 0 #5 December 25, 2009 I got myself a GO730 last summer after I had been running TomTom on a PDA for a couple of years.... And DAMN this 730 are quick to lock on to the sattelite signals.... Heck it even picks up the signal indoors if it's not to much steel and/or concrete in the building Go and get yourself a nice "GO" “The sum of intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing.” - George Bernard Shaw He who dies with the most toys, wins..... dudeist skydiver # 19515 Buy quality and cry once!

2ndgensteinke 0 #6 December 25, 2009 I just got the avn4430 eclipse/tom tom put in my truck, it's nice I guess if you are looking to get directions in a city; find a bar or a bite to eat. I just left from lost prairie to lincoln N.E and gave it the real test, didn't work very well, it goes by the shortest distance or the quickest route, since the GPS doesn't now speed limits it tends to take you on the back streets and dirt roads... Not sure if there is a setting i might be missing.. All in all the only time i trusted it was when i pulled off the interstate and was looking for a place to eat. But not many people would use it on long road trips like this, it's a better backup just incase you really really get lost, i guess it was worth the piece of mind, stick with the maps i would saythe big dirty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d_squared431 0 #7 December 26, 2009 I just got a garmin nuvi today. I have not used it yet but loaded a few addresses and played with it. Work fantastic in the house so far. I dont know anything about the different gps units but i believe divot suggested garmin over tom tom and so did several others who do a lot of driving when the same topic came up a month back.TPM Sister#130ONTIG#1 I love vodka.I love vodka cause it rhymes with Tuaca~LisaH You having a clean thought is like billyvance having a clean post.iluvtofly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shropshire 0 #8 December 26, 2009 I too have a garmin Nuvi (for the car) and have to say I like it alot. The only expereince I have of TomTom is a few years old now and on a PDA - so is out of date and not too relevant. (.)Y(.)
