Customer Reviews (see all-reviews)
Doug ( Shreveport, LA ) When I received the TomTom GPS, I put in a route that I had traveled over a 100 times. It routed me a good 20 miles out of my way. I contacted TomTom tech service to see if there was anyway to correct the route, either in the GPS or in a computer, and was told there was no way to correct the route other than by taking the correct route and the GPS recalcuting the route. I told tech service that if I had to look up my route on a map, I didn't need their GPS and sent it back.
I have since purchased a Garmin 765T and by using a computer, I can plan any route I choose to take and enter it into the GPS. Great product and I have received excellant support from their tech service in helping a non techie learn to operate it.

Rose Davis ( New Jersey ) I bought this as my 1st GPS also a Tom Tom was stolen from my car, I was lost without it. I order one right away, andit was here in just a few days. This one is as good as my last even better. This one even tells us what lane to drive in & the name of the streets we turn on. I also love the wider screen, & its sooo user friendly.

Peggy R. Cole I bought the TOM TOM xl 340-S for a birthday present for my husband. We travel to Mexico each year by car and the Mexican feature was the deciding factor in this model. We have only had it three weeks so I can't comment on the Mexican component - we are leaving in a week. It was easy to install and each to use. It has the advantage of rerouting if we chose a shorter and more direct route. We haven't had it long enough to provide more information but based on the first few weeks we like it and it worked right out of the box.

Kay ( Denver, CO ) After reading the reviews I was super nervous to have my hubby get this for my birthday gift. However, I really liked all the features, so we went ahead and ordered it. He likes his tomtom and has been using it for a year with no problems so I felt we could trust the brand. Anyway, here are my thoughts:
The larger screen, while something I initially didn't think was a huge deal, is great to have.
I really like the spoken street names, though it's a bummer there aren't more voices that work with that feature.
The advanced lane guidance is another feature I wanted that works great. I'd sometimes get confused with our older tomtom, not understanding where I should be on the highway with merging and exits, and that is no longer an issue. The visual helps make the spoken directions crystal clear.
I'm not totally sold on the IQ routes. I've not yet used the GPS on unfamiliar roads and at times it suggests strange ways to get places, possibly to avoid left turns, but I'm not sure. I've since changed the settings so it always asks me what kind of route I want to follow, as sometimes the shortest route is better. Not to say the IQ routes are a bad feature, but not always the best option.
Sometimes the GPS does take a few minutes to find a signal, and once in a while turning it off and on again helps speed that up, but cell phones do the same thing when you turn them off and on so it's not a huge deal for me.
As for updating the map, something that totally freaked me out after the reviews, my hubby convinced me to go ahead and try it. We did. While it did take a LONG time to finally download the map onto the device, and there wasn't enough space at first, tomtom home told us the map wouldn't fit and how much hard drive space we needed to open up. We went in and deleted the voices I wasn't planning on using and did the complete upload of the map. Everything worked fine. Just needed lots of patience.
Overall, I've been very pleased with the GPS and happy we got it. The price at Amazon is great too. We saw it in the Sunday ads last week for $100 more than the price here. Great deal, especially with the wider screen, spoken street names and advanced lane guidance!
