Drivers often feel stressed at unfamiliar junctions when there are a lot of lanes to choose from. Advanced lane guidance provides extra clarity to drivers in these circumstances, so they won't miss a turn or have to make a last-minute lane crossing. It works by giving them a still 3D image on the screen that clearly indicates the lane they need to take. So even at the most complex junctions and in the heaviest traffic, drivers can stay relaxed and in control.
Sometimes, TomTom releases a new map between the time a device is manufactured and the time someone buys it. So we allow every TomTom customer to check for a new map release within 30 days of first using their device. If one is available, customers simply use the voucher that is included inside the box to download it for free. This is all done via HOME, TomTom's free desktop application, which will automatically recognise a newly connected device and check whether a newer map release is available for it.
Our research reveals that roads change by as much as 15% every year. That's why we draw upon the largest satellite navigation community in the world – ours. Through our unique Map Share™ technology, drivers can make corrections to their map and benefit from thousands of corrections made by over 40 million TomTom users every day – free of charge.
Over 5 million Map Share™ corrections have been made worldwide to date. Through Map Share™, a driver can: block and unblock a street, reverse traffic direction, edit a street name, change turn restrictions, change road speed, add a missing Point of Interest (POI), edit a POI, and report another error.
Drive smarter with the XXL. Now can you find your position quickly, and work out the best route to your destination at any given time.
Only TomTom uses actual speed data collected from millions of users to calculate the fastest routes at any point in time. Imagine a route that takes into account rush hour, traffic lights, zebra crossings, school exits or even shopping crowds, every minute of every day. That's how smart IQ Routes is!
QuickGPSfix™ speeds up the time it takes to fix your GPS position to help you drive off more quickly.
We design our devices to be really easy to use and work straight out of the box. But when used with TomTom HOME, they're even better. TomTom HOME is our free software for PC and Mac which allows users to keep their TomTom device up-to-date. Drivers can download new maps, access free content from the TomTom community to personalise their device and subscribe to great services.

Not What it says on the tin !!,
By
This review is from: TomTom XXL IQR Edition Sat Nav - Europe (Electronics)
I have owned 3 tomtom machines and all have struggled with the same problem.....internal memory is small for the full European map.There is no mention that the European map is has grown so large that the full map will no longer fit onto the 2gb flash drive. Tomtom home even tell's you your machines memory is too small for the full version and instead you are offer a zoned map of Europe that you must choose. (4 zones) I have frequently used my machines on holidays but the way the Europe map zones are split mean you can have U.K & Germany but not Spain or Italy.....or you can choose U.K & Spain but not Germany or Italy. On past machines I have worked around this by installing a 4gb SD card but some "bean counter" at Tomtom has decided a few pounds can be saved by doing away with the SD slot on most machines. Adding lots of POI, music or additional features Tomtom offer!! could be limited. Good points the TT has an easy to use interface and the map graphics are good but I paid for a full working map installed on the machine not my home computer. Removing the SD slot is a step back

Not as big as you think,
This review is from: TomTom XXL IQR Edition Sat Nav - Europe (Electronics)
I received this product after some deliberation and procrastinating as the large screen and the reputation of Tomtom lived up to the mark in that respect and I was in need of the europe maps for travel abroad. The maps themsleves are great in quality and clarity and the device is quick to seek the satellite signals and locate your position.However, when attempting to utilise the free one-time map upgrade on the Tomtom tools, the new full like-for-like european map on this model (2.16Gb)far exceeded the flash drive built in (1.84Gb). So even with some tweaking of files, there was not enough basic disk space for the upgrade. The only option Tomtom provided was to download one of a choice of five smaller european maps. However no matter which map I could choose, no single option provided the countries promised in the full map that is in the out-of-the-box version that comes with this model. For example I needed Slovakia and UK, but the option maps did not have these two countries together. So the option was to leave this device on the out-of-the-box version or return it. Sadly, I have chosen to return this model as I felt a little cheated by Tomtom. I was looking at the newer GO HD models but the price increase to get a 4Gb model with a SD slot was just not worth the cost. I have since settled for a Becker SatNav, which provides 3D terrain and regular free updates to maps for around the same price as this model. Their newer and cheaper models come with 4Gb standard and may be worth looking into. Amazon (UK), do not yet offer the full Becker range from my searching but the direct website takes orders in english and deliver internationally. Hope this helps.

What they don't tell you on the box!,
This review is from: TomTom XXL IQR Edition Sat Nav - Europe (Electronics)
I bought this unit because I wanted an up to date Euromap satnav. I needed several Euro countries and this unit had them all. I thought a new middle of the range TomTom should be fine. Indeed on receipt I fired it up and hey presto everything is good. I put the TomTom home software onto my computer and linked the Satnav with no problem. Then, the bit they don't tell you about. TomTom home found a new update and as the unit was new within 30 days or so I could download it. So I did. It took forever and then stated that my unit did not have enough space. The update was bigger than my TomTom could handle. How stupid is that? It is new. When you can buy an 8GB SD card for peanuts this unit has a maximum of 2GB storage and no card slot. Now either something went wrong or I pressed the wrong button but from that point on the TomTom was useless. I looked for help but all TomTom give are the usual directions to FQA's. Their FQA's are rubbish by the way. The best advice is always independent sites where people have no brand loyalty and say it like it is. I found one and after several long downloads and failures right at the ' literally' eleventh hour, managed to get the TOMTOM back. But not as it was, I could only choose a specific combination of regions due to size and not one combination covered all the countries I am going to. So I now have a Garmin to cover certain countries, as I would have to lose the UK for the TomTom to cover them. The choices are not good enough. We should be able to swap and change individual countries if we wish in order to tailor the Satnav. When are these manufacturer's going to wake up to that fact. My advice is to download the map updates directly to your computer and store them there. That way you can update, providing you have all night. This will enable you to swap the maps around to some extent, to get over the size limit on your TomTom and load what package is closest to the areas you need. At well over £100 it shouldn't be be a a cost problem for a manufacturer to put more memory on the unit to accept the official updates for the next two years, or is there another reason???
