The TomTom XL IQ Routes Edition Europe is exactly the same as the TomTom One IQ Routes Edition that we tested, apart from two changes:
- its screen has increased from 3.5'' to 4.3'', meaning it can show more information
- the pre-loaded maps cover all of Europe rather than just one country
Pluses
-
Easy to use
-
IQ Routes will be very useful for city dwellers
-
Small practical suction mount
-
Compact
Minuses
-
The GPS sensor however is sometimes slow to start up
This is a must-have sat-nav for the regular driver. In addition, its IQ Routes feature is the ideal companion if you live in a city. Those of you who live in your cars will probably want to go for a model with traffic tracking.
