TomTom ONE XL HD Traffic


World’s first portable navigation device with High Definition Traffic offers:
Up to five times more traffic updates
At least ten times more road coverage
More accurate travel and arrival times with measurements of the delays in minutes
The TomTom ONE XL HD will ensure a safe and fun trip taking the stress out of everyday driving and trip planning.

At its heart lies TomTom’s award-winning plug-and-go navigation software, but the new 4.3” wide high-quality touchscreen makes navigating even easier.

Your TomTom ONE XL HD has a pre-installed maps of UK and Ireland and database of safety camera locations in the UK. This database is fully integrated in your TomTom ONE XL navigation software and alerts to warn you when there is a fixed safety camera on your route.

Combined with the new HD Traffic service, TomTom also launches the first PND which is compatible with this real-time traffic information.

The TomTom One XL HD comes with hundreds of points of interest providing useful information for your journey. Simply type in your location and zap! off you go - or choose a different route.

In other words, the Tom Tom ONE XL HD makes getting there better than ever.
This new TomTom ONE XL HD will accept a Vodafone network SIM card, which can be used to connect to the Vodafone network. This way, the position of the PND is continuously followed, and in that way it can add more information to improve the traffic mapping. That same connection is used every three minutes to acquire the actual traffic data, and that data is used whilst navigating and the planning the route.

The rest of the ONE XL HD Traffic’s specifications are identical to those of the existing ONE XL, e.g. the 4.3 inch touch screen and the latest map of 25 countries in Western-Europe. The TomTom ONE XL HD Traffic is shipped initially with NavCore version 7.30, a version specially created with support for the retrieval and processing of traffic information.
