According to TomTom, the XXL 540’s screen makes it easy to drivers to view the road ahead with more streets and information on display. It also comes with features such as IQ Routes, Map Share and Advanced Lane Guidance.

TomTom Australia’s Marketing Manager, Chris Kearney said, “The TomTom XXL 540 is specifically designed to fulfil the demands of larger vehicle owners and any consumers who value the comfort of a bigger display.”

The XXL 540 makes use of the IQ Routes, a program that claims to ‘tap into over 800 billion speed measurements on the map to plan the fastest route’ and allows users to make their own map changes and benefit from thousands of free map fixes made by TomTom users every day (Map Share). TomTom’s Latest Map Guarantee assures users are guaranteed to start with the latest Whereis map.

Safety enhancements include Advanced Lane Guidance, pre-installed Safety cameras for safer driving, and the Help me! menu for direct access to emergency numbers and directions.

The TomTom XXL 540 will be available in retailers across Australia from late October 2009.
