Tom Tom xxl540S by sk78emt on walmart.com Apr 13, 2011
There are so many gps units available now that it is tough making a decision as to which on to purchase. I finally just decided to go with what I thought was right. I have to say feel I made the right choice. Really like your speed showing all the time. ...

Great Item by shizumie on overstock.com Aug 5, 2010
This TomTom is the best GPS I have owned to date. The price was excellent, even with the warranty. There are only two negatives on this model. 1. There is no memory card for additional info, However I have added two voice's (Darth Vader, and Yoda) to ...

Great product - TERRIBLE service by Anthony B Beale on amazon.com Jul 12, 2012
I loved this TomTom, it was my third from TomTom and it worked great. On a recent USA vacation it was stolen from my rental car and I ended up at Best Buy to buy another but this model not available so I bought a TomTom VIA at a MUCH higher price. Bottom ...
 
Unsatisfied by GPSReviewer1 on bestbuy.com Sep 6, 2011
I purchased this product due to the good reviews on here, and because it was a good deal. Within a week of trying to use the product, I only received signal one time which did not make sense since I always had signal with my Garmin that recently was stolen ...

slow response by ultracamp on walmart.com Apr 9, 2011
This is my 4th TomTom, so I'm familiar with the units. I bought this one trying to save some money, after picking up a new one for my wife. The unit functioned, but it had considerable lag times in refreshing, and there were some hickups wiht the software ...
 
What was I thinking??????? by N/A on newegg.com Jan 22, 2011
After years of using another brand I switched to Tom Tom. Quite possibly the biggest mistake I ever made. I should have checked their forums first because all the problems I'm having seems like others are having too. The maps are the worst. Just in my ...

The UI is a little slow (I'm used to a snappy iPhone 4) and the resistive touch screen is a little imprecise (again, comparing to iPhone) but for a relatively cheap GPS its not too bad...If you're not a good speller - watch out...It has it's flaws, like garbled street names, but overall this GPS has been extremely useful...

TomTom Go 540 Live satnav review - PC Advisor
TomTom, maker of the TomTom Go 540 Live satnav, is one of the original and most hightly rated satnav brands in Europe...Included in the TomTom Go 540 Live satnav box is a three-month subscription to TomTom Live...And besides, the TomTom Go 540 Live is a pretty decent satnav without the bells and whistles...But it isn't all about the features, and the TomTom Go 540 Live is a very usable device in itself...After putting up a good fight, it accepted our journey choice and quickly and efficiently instructed us on our new route...

Tomtom Go 540 Live sat nav - Computeractive - product reviews you can trust
The Go 540 Live is a response to this...The new traffic service works out how fast traffic is flowing on your route using data from other users and Vodafone’s own traffic monitoring system...But while route directions were clear, the Bluetooth hands-free functions were far too quiet, and some functions, such as reading text messages, didn’t work with our Nokia N95...All in all, Tomtom’s Go 540 Live is quite an impressive navigation tool that does a lot more than just getting you from A to B, but the price means it’s best suited to those who spend a lot of time driving, rather than casual users...

TomTom's XXL 540 GPS unit takes the XL 340 and adds an extra-large display, but the navigation experience is similar...The main difference between the TomTom XL 340 and the aptly titled XXL 540 is the screen size...Despite the extra-large display, the TomTom XXL 540 is only as thick as its smaller counterpart...TomTom's EasyPort mount is used again to good effect...

Big 5-inch screen...Responsive interface...Fast boot-up and lock-in...Accurate directions...Easy POI searches....No real-time traffic reporting...Dated map graphics....While the $299.95 (direct) TomTom XXL 540-S offers up a large 5-inch screen and a well designed, integrated mount in a slim package, it lacks some of the more advanced features of competing units, such as real-time traffic updates, an MP3 player, and connected services...Still, it's a good value...

Satnav head-to-head: Navman S100 vs TomTom Go 540 Live • reghardware
IQ Routes on the TomTom, which used to only distinguish between weekdays and weekends, now works on an hourly basis...If you’re always going to have the satnav hooked up to the in-car adapter, battery life isn’t a concern, but there are always those times where you’ll need to plug something else into your car’s power socket...Going purely on features, the TomTom Go 540 Live knocks the Navman S100 into a cocked hat...If you shop around, the S100 is available for around £179, with the Go 540 Live seeing more of a discount, at £249...

The 540S costs a little bit more than the 530S, but it also contains some map additions...The TomTom XXL 540S is basically a larger version of the other XL devices with the design elements still the same and the familiar curved top...This is a good thing because it makes it easy for entry-level users to plan their routes with ease...Although the 540S is the leading XXL model in features, it is priced below $300...
