Good GPS navigator

Review submitted for
TomTom
XXL 540M 5 inch Auto Nav Portable GPS Navigator
(TTXXL540M)
Pros: Finds shortcuts, Lifetime Maps, Painless installation
Cons: Sometime says rl for lr, Local map defects
Other Comments: I found several examples of inaccurate maps. The good news is that it comes with free lifetime map updates! I swear it says turn left when it means turn right sometimes, but the display is always correct, so not a major problem. It has a capability to correct map errors, so, in the long run, probably well worth buying...

Generally good but not perfect

Review submitted for
TomTom
XXL 540M 5 inch Auto Nav Portable GPS Navigator
(TTXXL540M)
Pros: Overall performance
Cons: New maps are out of date, Occasional routing errors, Text to speech
Other Comments: If clearly spoken street names are important to you then look elsewhere. Some names are butchered beyond belief. Yesterday I was on a state highway, 2 miles from the city and Tomtom told me to turn onto a dead-end dirt road. Neighborhood streets that have existed for over a year aren't in the latest map download. I suspect the last two gripes are common to consumer GPS units so I won't judge too harshly.

Nice unit, not so nice support
By Raymo on

Review submitted for
TomTom
XXL 540M 5 inch Auto Nav Portable GPS Navigator
(TTXXL540M)
Pros: Nice display, Easy to use, Very sensitive receiver
Cons: Horrible web site, Software update slow web, Manual could be better
Other Comments: Good stuff.
I bought this to replace a Lowrance IWay 500 that died. It is much lighter and smaller than a the Lowrance and works much better. The display screen is very well thought out. It is uncluttered, yet gives you the information you need. Accuracy is also dead on. Satellite lock up is almost instantaneous and the receiver works well, even indoors. Easy to mount, good display brightness and seems to have reasonable battery life too.
Not the not so good stuff.
There is no provision to display altitude information. Granted that GPS altitude information isn't terribly accurate, but if you're driving in the mountains it's still nice to know your approximate altitude. Fortunately I found several addon applications in the Tomtom blogs.
Unfortunately the documentation is a big disappointment. Not only is it incomplete, but almost impossible to find. I spent half an hour searching the Tomtom website looking for a link to a user guide and finally called them. They referred me to a page that listed 42 manuals, but the XXL540S was not among them. When I queried them again they informed me that I needed to select the 340 manual. After I finally downloaded the manual I couldn't find anything about seeing the status of the individual satellites. I finally found the screen by accident: you need to tap the satellite summary screen.
Downloading software to the GPS also takes a while. The initial software update took over two hours to download and install. Neither my computer nor my Internet connection is slow. Fortunately you have to do this infrequently, but it's still a minor inconvenience.
The positives still outweigh the negatives, and if Tomtom updates or redesigns their website, it would make life a little easier for all of us.
Yes, I recommend this product

TomTom
XXL 540M 5 inch Auto Nav Portable GPS Navigator
(TTXXL540M)
Pros: East to operate, Lifetime Maps a Bonus, Large Display, Affordable Pricing
Cons: Mount
Other Comments: Much improved over my ONE 3rd Ed. Large easy to read display is a big advantage. Limited voice selection when using full text to speech. IQ routing avoids some obvious and better routes. Tries to route you onto freeways entrances even though they are EZPass only access. Freeway rest stops are not reported properly. Map updates don't destroy favorites as in older models. Advanced lane guidance is a nice feature. Overall a lot of bang for the buck.
