XL series units that feature traffic service, such as our tested 350 TM, ship with a power cable with an integrated FM traffic antenna and receiver, so you'll need to plug in if you'd like to steer clear of jams. This makes the TomTom XL ideal for users who often move their GPS device from vehicle to vehicle. When the XL isn't in use, the EasyPort mount folds flat to the unit's body, so it's always with the unit, unlike the separate cradles of Garmin and Magellan. Simply flip out the suction cup, place the device on the windshield, and twist the locking ring a quarter-turn.
The EasyPort mount is quite easy to place and remove from the windshield and offers a bit more flexibility of mounting angles than the Garmin. The speaker doubles as the connection point for the TomTom EasyPort mount, a clever, low-profile suction cup for mounting the XL on a vehicle's windshield. Audio quality is good, even at the loudest volume settings. The back panel is where the 2-inch loudspeaker is located.
