The Basics:

The first two images in this section take a look at the face of the TomTom XL340-S. It ships with a protective film over the screen which also serves as a reminder that you need to be outside to pick up a GPS signal. With the film removed we see that the 4.3 inch screen runs just about edge to edge on the unit's housing. The frame is rather minimal, and there are no buttons to be found on the front of the device. In fact, there is only one button on the unit at all (on the top), and it is for power on/off.



The next image takes a look at this GPS from two different angles. What we see here is that the housing is compact and rather sleek looking. There isn't a lot of bulk to the XL340-S, and it is definitely a modern looking piece of electronics.



TomTom's EasyPort mount provides a clever way to attach your GPS in a variety of cars, or elsewhere. It can function like a typical window suction mount, as a kickstand, or even as something like a pedestal.



The below left image shows the back of the XL340-S with the EasyPort mount attached and being used as what I would call a pedestal. The mount attaches to the GPS body via the ring that surrounds the speaker grille. It can swivel, rotate, and tilt, which provides a great deal of flexibility for finding the best installation location. The below right image shows the unit face down, with the suction cup on the base of the EasyPort mount visible.



The last image in this section takes a closer look at the bottom of the GPS body. It may be hard to see due to the contrast of the picture, but under the words "TomTom XL" is where the mini-USB port for charging and data transfers is found.
