 Excellent GPS January 6, 2009
First off, I've owned multiple different Magellan models and they all started to die (battery quits holding charge) in less than one year, after commuting ~1h each way every day for work. I tried a Garmin Nuvi and it worked ok, but the features were less intuitive, even irritating. The Tom Tom XL 330 is awesome. It does everything I need and does it well with a very intuitive interface that remembers previous choices and makes smart suggestions. The main display tells you your speed, the speed limit, direction, time, time of arrival, total distance, distance to next turn, and has a compass. If you want it to read street names, get the S model.
 Unit Severely Short On Memory January 3, 2009
This GPS unit is out of memory out of the box! I won't dispute any of what was said above, but be aware that all the voice options, all the help, all the frills that come loaded on your XL when you pull it out of the package take up so much memory that you can't update you maps with them on the unit. They must be sacrificed in order to download and install any up-to-date maps. This was a great big deal breaker for me... my unit TomTom XL 330s went straight back to the store. The pity is that TomTom knows this and refuses to acknowledge their design flaw. Don't buy this unit.
 Deceptive Wording! December 30, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Were you fooled by the title of this product? I was. You see, I thought that when I ordered this product I would also be getting the TRAFFIC RECEIVER that is mentioned in the title.
While this particular device is "traffic ready," it does not include the TRAFFIC RECEIVER needed to be able to access traffic information.
I love the GPS device itself -- great graphics, useful maps, excellent directions, but I am very disappointed in the way in which Amazon has chosen to promote the product.
Major, Embarrassing Oversight by TomTom December 29, 2008
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
Stay away from this junk.
I received a TomTom One XL for Christmas, which is the discontinued model that the XL 330 S replaced. It worked fine, until I tried to use TomTom's current map guarantee, which allows you to download any newer maps that have been released since the device was loaded at the factory. I could not update to the new map because it is 30 or 40 MB larger than the previous map, requiring a few MB more flash memory than is supplied on the device. So I returned the device and bought the 330, thinking there is no way they would have made the same mistake on the newer model. WRONG. I couldn't update to the current map on the XL 330 S, either. I checked the support site, which helpfully informed me that in these cases I could remove nonessential files from my device, such as, oh, voices. There's only one "nonessential" file large enough that it's removal would allow installation of the updated map, and that's the computer voice file, which allows reading of street names. So I was faced with keeping the old map with spoken street names, or updating the map and losing spoken street names.
This is utterly unacceptable and represents a major, embarrassing oversight by TomTom. This one is going back too, and I'm done with TomTom. I'm going to stick with Garmin, as I have extensive experience with their aviation GPS units.
Somebody forgot to tell TomTom that this isn't a government contract, and a GPS with a permanently outdated map with no possibility of updating it for any price is worthy of a zero-star review, but that unfortunately wasn't an option.
