The TomTom XL is a sleek and sexy update to the popular One model.

It’s slimmer than the original One and boasts sleek minimalist styling, including a large silver speaker grille, which sits at the bottom of the unit.

Another key update is the size of the touchscreen - at 4.3-inches, you won’t be struggling to see the screen when you’re driving.

Just like the One, the TomTom XL includes text-to-speech functionality so you can have directions read to you. Thankfully, the XL is pretty good with most Australian accents and pronunciations - some GPS units manufactured overseas struggle with this.

Yet another outstanding feature is Map Share, which lets you make any corrections to your maps on the device. You can then share this information using the included software package on your Mac or PC.
