TomTom 330S Portable Navigation System



The TomTom XL 330S adds a 4.3” wide screen display and Text-to-Speech routing to the XL 330S Family. At the heart of the TomTom unit is a highly sensitive GPS chipset for fast satellite acquisitions and unsurpassed GPS tracking. The ultra bright, 480 x 272 resolution, 4.3” display offers superb readability and easy operation. The built in lithium-ion battery will provide approximately 2 hours of use away from a power source. TomTom also includes their QuickGPSfix software which allows the XL to acquire a GPS signal super fast.

What is Map Share Technology?
The TomTom XL 330S is pre-loaded with detailed TeleAtlas maps for the United States and Canada, plus millions of points of interest. Because roads change, TomTom has setup the ability for you, the user to edit or change the pre-loaded maps. You are able to mark blocked or unblocked streets, insert the new name of a street, and even reverse the direction of a XL 330S Way street. Changes will immediately take effect in your Tomtom 330S. You are also able to share your changes and capture changes from other Map Share users via the include TomTom HOME software.

Using the touch screen, enter the address or point of interest that you are traveling to and the XL 330S will route you there. TomTom gives you 4 different routing options: quickest, shortest, avoid toll roads and by required arrival time. You can also chose between a traditional overhead view of the map or a 3-D view for a true perspective of what is ahead. Once you are on your way the XL 330S will guide you along with verbal turn-by-turn directions through its powerful built in speaker. If you miss a turn the TomTom XL 330S will recalculate your directions and get you right back on track.
