Tomtom XL

Just a few short years ago, a basic GPS that would give you directions was upwards of $1,000! Today, $399 (or less if you are prepared to haggle) will get you spoken street names and Bluetooth which two of the most sort after features.

Bluetooth for connectivity and spoken street names for ease of use.

The GPS we are looking at today is the Tomtom XL, currently priced at $399 and while it lacks Bluetooth it features spoken street names. My main motivation for purchase was I had to travel to Melbourne to go and visit the museum with my fiancée as well as purchase her a HTC Touch Diamond and a Sony VAIO VGN-CR353P (both of which are reviewed elsewhere on AOA) and I had no idea where to go!
