TomTom ONE XL-S review

UPDATE: This model has been superseded by the TomTom XL 330-S.

The TomTom ONE XL-S, updates the TomTom ONE XL, adding text-to-speech to its feature set. That way, you'll get "turn left on Oak Street in 500 feet" rather than just "turn left in 500 feet." It also includes Map Share, though that is also available on the ONE XL as a free upgrade.

Like its predecessor, the ONE XL-S has a 4.3" color touch-screen, comes pre-loaded with maps of the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, and is ready for real-time traffic services via a subscription to TomTom Traffic or the purchase of an RDS-TMC traffic receiver.

Great review. I'm looking forward to checking out the TomTom XL-S.. I like that they added text-to-speech on an Xl model.
