I had looked everywhere for a GPS navigator like TomTom XXL 540S - something that would do exactly what it said it would, without all the fuss and hassle.  I had already wasted hours of time and who knows how much money on other GPS's, so I have to commend the folks who came up with TomTom XXL 540S for making it so useful and so easy to use.  You are the best. What I like the most is a big 5" screen, satellite acquisition is fast - less than 10 seconds for me, map color can be changed, the ability to prepare a route with any depart and destination coordinates...

This is a quality product, reliable, works as advertised, and comes with good customer support. After I purchased TomTom XXL 540S, I promptly installed and used TomTom Home to update it, and used the Map Guarantee for my free full update. The Text to Speech function works excellent, this is what gives you spoken street names, places and addresses. The voice is clear and loud. The screen has lots of options, like showing restaurants and gas stations that are on upcoming streets and you can also set it to alert you when going over posted speed limits.

What I dislike about TomTom XXL 540S is that you can't set the zoom of the map to a fixed level. GPS itself decides when the map should zoom in, when the map should zoom out. Therefore, if you zoom in the map to a scale you feel  comfortable, after a couple of seconds the TomTom will automatically zoom out. Only when you make turns, TomTom XXL 540S will zoom in at the turns and then zoom out again.


I can recommend this brand to everyone. But make sure you buy it from a reputable company online, you can see if you can get a discount here.
