TomTom XL 335TM

UPDATE: This model has been discontinued. For a list of current TomTom models and their features, please see our TomTom comparison chart.

The TomTom XL 335TM adds lifetime map updates and lifetime traffic to the TomTom XL 335S feature set, and gives you preloaded maps of the US and Canada, a 4.3” wide-screen and text-to-speech, so you’ll hear “turn right, Oak Street,” instead of just “turn right.”

You’ll also get IQ Routes technology, which calculates the fastest route using historical traffic speed data for both the day of the week and time of day. The Advanced Lane Guidance feature provides a visual representation of highway junctions, along with lane-specific directions.

• Step up to the TomTom XL 340TM to add maps of Mexico, but perhaps more importantly, the 340 series appears to have a significantly larger Points of Interest (POI) database than the 335 series
• Going the other direction, the XL 335T has the same feature set as the 335TM, minus the lifetime map updates
