TomTom XXL 540 for $320 from JB Hi-Fi

101

Just released, sells for around $340 in most shops. Hope this helps someone. Comes with 5 inch screen, easy mount, TTS and advanced lane guidance.
Does not come with Traffic, bluetooth or handsfree.

The main differences between this and the GO 730 model is the lack of bluetooth, enhanced GPS fix or whatever it is called, and FM transmitter which only transmits songs. From whirlpool many people have complained of flaky bluetooth performance and the general recommendation is that you get a separate carkit anyway.

I wouldn't worry too much about lack of SD card. US maps weigh in at 1GB, Aus 117MB and Europe 2GB. So really if you take the GPS to any of these place you can just load those maps on here. Also when buying maps use the US Tom Tom website as with our great exchange rate maps are around 50-70 bucks cheaper.

FYI the GO 730 and GO 720 are on sale at HN Aspley as in store specials for $385 and $379 respectively.

Technical Specifications

2GB internal Flash memory.
High sensitivity GPS receiver

Optimised integrated microphone and speaker for high quality hands-free functionality

    I think $20 discount of a $340 item don't make the cut here.

    Still cheaper than staticice and shopbot results:

    Probably could be haggled further but nice of you to put the receipt up so that others can get it for cheaper.

  • Good deal - thinking of getting one of these myself.

  • Awesome deal you got here! I want to get one of these. Just wondering, what are the diff between all these tom tom gadgets? the the XL, XXL and the GO models?

    Thanks in advance guys.

    • Okay this is to my knowledge not 100% sure. XL 340 and XXL 540 are the same GPS inside just that 540 has a 5 inch screen while the 340 comes with a 4.3 inch screen. Go 730/930 on the other hand are also 4.3inch GPSs but have FM transmitters and Bluetooth inside and also a SD slot to expand the internal memory.

      • Go 730/930 on the other hand are also 4.3inch GPSs but have FM transmitters and Bluetooth inside and also a SD slot to expand the internal memory.

        You are right.

        If you want to use the GPS in other countries then go with a Go730/930 as the SD card is very useful.

        American maps are about 1GB, UK/West Eurpoe combo maps are about 2 GB so the ability to add more storage space is useful if you are going to take it on holidays.
