TomTom has just unveiled its latest GPS navigation system, the TomTom XL 340S LIVE. This model comes after seeing the huge success of TomTom’s LIVE Services on the premium TomTom GO range, where the same LIVE service will also be implemented into the TomTom XL 340S LIVE. Being connected to the LIVE service, it will make sure your XL 340S LIVE will offer you the very best that the industry has to offer in terms of routing, helping drivers take control of their daily drive through the automatic delivery of helpful features such as Local Search powered by Google, real-time traffic information, TomTom Fuel Price Service, TomTom Weather and QuickGPSfix.

It is interesting to note that the Local Search will be powered by Google, where it will allow you to search with better pomp and vigor. Apart from that, the TomTom XL 340S LIVE will be able to take advantage of millions of Points of Interest which have already been pre-loaded onto the machine itself, where you can also access numerous shops and businesses via TomTom’s LIVE Services regardless of where you are, navigating there in the most optimal way possible. With TomTom’s exclusive IQ Routes technology, you can be sure to get to your destination in the greenest way possible, where routes are calculated based on historical speed measurements for every time of day and for every road segment, ranging from large highways to small local roads.

You will find the TomTom XL 340S LIVE to wirelessly receive real-time traffic speed and incident reports automatically within intervals of two to five minutes. All traffic delays can be heard audibly and shown on the screen as well so that your co-driver can also have a look at it just in case you are pre-occupied in other more important matters. Knowing just how high fuel prices have gone up during the last couple of years, it would also be nice to know just where the best buys are where fuel prices are concerned within your immediate area. The new TomTom XL 340S will retail for $299.95 and comes with three months of LIVE Services.
