As it turned out my birthday was a few weeks after our 3 week trip to Italy and my wife bought me a TomTom XXL 540TM World Traveler GPS
So far I’ve been really impressed with this GPS. We used a Garmin Nuvi while traveling in Europe, which was equally impressive. From what I can tell, the TomTom and the Nuvi seem to have nearly identical features.
What I’ve really liked about the TomTom is how I can really easily connect it up to my Mac and add map overlays, convert Google itineraries, and add my own points of interest. Here are a few links that I’ve found useful:
- Map overlays Google Maps op TomTom
- Convert Google Map to Itinerary converter
- TomTom Tweaks
- POI Editor
I never thought I would need a GPS with my iPhone 4 + Google Maps, but I have to admit I’m a fan of the TomTom GPS now.
