TomTom comparison chart

TomTom’s feature set can be confusing, but the chart below should go a long way towards clearing that up. The links at the top of the chart go to our TomTom reviews.

A couple of notes; the Bluetooth feature refers to units that support hands free cell phone use. Some TomTom units have Bluetooth but use it solely for TomTom PLUS services. Also, older and discontinued models have been moved to a separate chart further down the page.

Feature descriptions

• Speaks street names – Formally known as text-to-speech, this function allows the device to call out the name of the street for upcoming turns, so you’ll hear “approaching right turn, Maple Street” instead of just “approaching right turn.” A very helpful feature.
• Map Share – Allows you to make certain map corrections on the device, share them with others, and receive their corrections as well.
• Live traffic – A nice feature that isn’t quite ready for prime time. Expect lots of
  inaccurate reports as well as incidents that aren’t reported. Delivered
  via FM, this service is provided by the Traffic Message Channel, hence
  you will sometimes see it referred to as FM-TMC. Here is a link to a coverage map.
• Bluetooth for hands-free cell phone use – Another nice idea, and I’ve seen signs that TomTom’s sound quality is better than that of other brands.
• iPod control – Control your iPod via your TomTom touch screen
• Voice commands – Too bad it isn’t that great of a feature. For one that is, check out my Garmin nuvi 880 review.
• IQ Routes – This feature bases routing decisions on historical traffic data, broken down by the day of the week and time of day, the latter in 15 minute increments. Routing behavior is greatly improved, even to the point of directing you to locally known shortcuts.
