Introduction
If the tiny screen on TomTom’s minimal-but-adequate One navigators has you careening into other lanes as you squint to see your next turn, the XL line of navigators represent an easy step forward to the land of 4.3-inch widescreen bliss. (And relative safety for the people driving next to you.) The XL 330 and XL 340 models line up identically with their smaller One 130 and One 140 cousins on the feature front, with only a $50 gap separating the big guys from the little ones. Both lines use “S” in the name to denote text-to-speech capabilities, making the XL 340 S we reviewed the high-end unit in the XL line before moving up to the pricier Go line of premium nav systems.

Point-A-to-B drivers will love the accurate drive times, no-nonsense address entry, and generous screen on the TomTom XL 340 S.
