TomTom XL IQ Routes Edition 20th May 2009 Reviewed by Darren Griffin TomTom's latest adittions are the IQ Routes models of their popular entry level ONEand XL models. Featuring regional(single country) or Western Europe map options and two screen sizes, (4.3' and 3.5'), the new models add IQ Routes Data functionality to the range. Also present is Map Share, the Help Me menu and TomTom's Latest Map Guarantee. TomTom provided PocketGPSWorld with an XL IQ Routes Europe model for review and so our findings below are based upon this device. Please be aware that there may be minor functional changes between the different models and that specifications discussed in the review may be particular to the model being reviewed.

In the box As the ONE and XL have always been the budget or perhaps better described as 'entry level' in the range you don't expect much in the box and you don't get it! Inside you will find the XL stowed in a tray at the top, lift this out and underneath is the EasyPort mount, the car charger and a USB cable.

There is also a basic user guide leaflet and an accessories brochure. As is common these days, the battery had some charge so the eager amongst you can switch on and browse the menus before the ink on the receipt has even had a chance to dry. Design The XL has a very classy look and its slim compact design makes it the most pocketable of all the TomTom models. The new black surround lends an expensive 'high-quality' air to the device and it feels solid and well constructed.

All the current ONE and XL models come with TomTom's EasyPort mount, a very different designfrom that seen on previous models. Now I'll admit from the start that I'm not entirely enamoured of this solution. It is clever and unique but whilst it works well in some situations it creates issues in others. Security of your belongings is of paramount importance and so TomTom, much to their credit sought to design a solution that made this easy. The mount was designed so that it could remain attached to the device when you remove it from the windscreen. When to stop testing.

But whilst the end result is a mount that is infinitely adjustable and low profile, it is also rather fiddly. If you choose to leave the mount permanently attached to the device; as intended by the fold flat design; then it is very difficult to attach to the windscreen. The knurled wheel is hard to reach whilst attached to the device and if your preferred location is deep in corner or bottom of a windscreen then be prepared for a struggle. If however you choose to remove the mount and attach it to the windscreen first, then, whilst it is much easier to affix the mount, it is now tricky to attach the device to the EasyPort.

It requirs two hands and a firm grip with a press'n'click action to mate the two parts. If I find this difficult having used these mounts for some time, others will doubtless find it more so. A trial with my in-laws revealed that the older users may find it even more difficult to handle. Aside from the mount I also find the deeply recessed power socket troublesome. Because the mini-USB socket is deeply recessed on both the ONE and XL V4 models, inserting the supplied power lead is more troublesome than it should otherwise be. On the plus side, the supplied power lead has a right angled plug and once successfully inserted it lies almost flush against the bottom of the device. Again these may be minor issues for many users but they are ones that I and other testers have noticed and are worthy of mention.
