TomTom XL 350 4.3-Inch Portable GPS NavigatorThe TomTom XL 350 4.3-inch portable GPS navigator is probably one of the best buys that TomTom offers currently. Coming in under $130, the TomTom XL 350 4.3-inch portable GPS navigator is packed with features. Let me tell you about a few of them.

To start with the TomTom XL 350 uses the same user interface that the TomTom EASE does. That’s a real improvement for consumers in my book, and it’s finally a place where TomTom can outdistance Garmin. Not everyone wants to become a GPS nerd. Most of use just want to use a few of the features available in a GPS. Most people who use technology just use a reduced set of the features the technology offers–think about your smartphone.

To that end, with the TomTom XL 350 4.3-inch portable GPS navigator, TomTom has simplified the user interface a great deal. The XL 350 has plenty of features, sure, but the steps from turning the unit on and actually using it while driving down the road are greatly reduced.

Some of the other features are the 4.3-inch widescreen. Personally, I wouldn’t buy a smaller 3.5-inch screen model, now that widescreens are so cheap. (BTW, if you want to same device with an even wider, 5-inch screen, check out the TomTom XXL 550.

Of course, the TomTom XL 350 4.3-inch portable GPS navigator comes with pre-loaded maps of the US, Canada, and Mexico, along with over 7 million pre-programmed points of interest. It’s also got lane assist, and can intelligently factor today’s traffic into its calculations. Although we’ve come to expect it, I especially like the fact that the TomTom XL 350 4.3-inch portable GPS navigator says the names of the streets you’re to turn on.
