The 8.9-ounce XXL 550-TM looks physically very similar to its predecessor, measuring 3.5 by 5.2 by 0.9 inches (HWD). Aside from the included services, all four versions are technically identical. Add both letters, and you'll $60 extra, for a total price of $259.99 for the 550-TM. The TomTom XXL 550 actually comes in four flavors: with or without lifetime traffic updates (the "T" in the model name), and with or without lifetime map updates (the "M"). The competition has moved quite a bit in the past year, but the XXL 550-TM is still a worthy choice, and one of our 10 best GPS devicesīefore we get started, let's clarify the XXL 550 pricing structure further.
More significant is the $100 across-the-board price cut, to $199.99 for the base XXL 550 model and $259.99 for the XXL 550-TM, the subject of this review, the fully-loaded version that adds lifetime map and traffic updates.

The XXL 550-TM features the same 5-inch LCD display, accurate routing performance, and clear voice prompts as before. Technically speaking, the TomTom XXL 550-TM ($259.99 direct) is a very slight improvement over the prior XXL 540-S model.
