I have been watching the price on the To-Tom over the past two years and when the price dropped on this XL-S, I decided to get one. It may be refurbished, but I couldn't tell it was. Operation was perfect with the exception that the free grade available from the Tom-Tom site wasn't available as being refurbished, it was probably used up. However, support was available for an upgrade at no cost if you work with the home sight on line.I also own the Tom-Tom One (3rd edition) and the later XL-S model does have some improvements, although some of the improvements are a pain to deal with, for example; a bleating noise if one exceeds the speed limit unknowingly. You have to control this noise through the menu options before you start the unit. Also, the computer voice you pick with more voice information to you, is no where near as nice as the pleasant, sexy voice that is available if desired.
All in all, the larger screen is easier to see, especially if you are older as I am.
Great unit and very operator friendly. |
Awesome Device!

This TomTom One XL-S was a "from me, to me" Christmas gift treat. I wasn't sure what to expect since it was a refurbished product, but since it was coming from Amazon, and the price was so unbelievable, I decided to give it a try. Best decision I could have made!
This GPS navigator looks brand new, with not a blemish on it. It worked great straight out of the box, whose contents included full documentation, USB cable, car charger cable, and the windshield attachment accessory. I have since ordered the TomTom travel case, which is perfect for keeping the device and all accessories stored safely when not in use.
In other Amazon reviews, I have seen much made of the fact that the device did not say street names as advertised. Yes it does. Inside my box there was a card with instructions for choosing one of the computer voices during the initial setup process. Its only the "computer voice" (Susan or Dave - English),that can do the text to speech function. The other "regular" voice choices can only give simple directions like turn right, left etc.
I also saw reviews that indicated the purchaser was unable to get a current map upgrade due to the device being refurbished. This is not the case. The process was very simple, just call TomTom tech support @ 866-486-6866, and tell them you have purchased a refurbished XLS. All they will need from you is proof of the purchase (invoice or receipt). So I faxed them my Amazon invoice that came in the box, and called them a few days later. They had processed my invoice, and were able to walk me through downloading my new map update in about one minute. It was very simple, and the people at TomTom were very courteous to me. You must get your map upgrade within 30 days.
I highly recommend the TomTom One XL-S, and don't be afraid to try the refurbished products at Amazon. I know I won't be in the future.

Very easy to use, like the big screen.
The TOMTOM ONE XL-S is the the lowest priced model with the text to speech for actual street naming; this feature is very nice.
I'm now spoiled and wouldn't want to go on a trip with out it. |
