TomTom recently unveiled its new TomTom ONE XL GPS navigation device, which features a 4.3-inch touch screen.

The extra large screen of the TomTom ONE XL allows for an expanded view of the driving area, showing more street names and side roads, according to TomTom. The TomTom ONE XL is traffic-ready, giving drivers access to real-time updates and road conditions through a subscription to TomTom traffic. Additionally, the device comes with the most up-to-date maps, QuickGPSfix software for a faster connection with GPS satellites, and quick route calculation.

With the TomTom ONE XL, customers will have access to all the TomTom PLUS services including real-time traffic and weather reports, updates on road conditions and TomTom Buddies feature. The TomTom ONE range offers optional accessories such as carry cases, alternate mounting solutions and a fast home charger, according to the company.

Through TomTom HOME, TomTom's free software application, customers can manage, download, store, and transfer content from their computer onto their TomTom device. Users can plan routes, download celebrity or character voices, obtain traffic alerts, and install maps to customize and update their TomTom.

TomTom ONE XL will be available for US$399 at major retailers across the US and Canada in June 2007.
