TT540tm

[Pookh007]

I bought 540tm . So it says on a box, but nothing on the unit itself. When I connected to Tomtom Home it

shows as TomTom XXL . Sticker on the unit says TomTom XXL. All updates including lifetime map went

trought without any problems. How can I find out if it is the real 540tm ?

Thank you for any help

There is no model just called a ONE XXL.

For example, I have a 540 World Traveller unit here (not the 't' or 'm' models, they aren't available in Canada).

On the unit, if I tap the satellite bars and then tap the application version number, the next screen at the top says:

TomTom XXL IQ Routes Edition

and it gets this information from a text file in the root of the unit, ttgo.bif, where the second line says:

DeviceName=TomTom XXL IQ Routes Edition

That what I have too. But my question was how can I find model number? Is it 540 or 535 or something else? Thank you.

The serial number is on the bottom but there is no model number on the unit.

The serial number is on the bottom but there is no model number on the unit.

Thank you. Have this unit for almost a week so far no problems . Not with updates, no with traffic (I'm in NYC). I like it.

If you have map of Mexico, you probably have a 540 series. I think the 535 only comes as a "T" model with lifetime traffic. Not sure how to get the unit to ID itself using the TOMTOM model designations, but Home or TOMTOM site software knows. Mine tells me:
TOMTOM XXL IQ Routes Edition

I know that the 540S WorldTraveler Edition and the 540TM World Traveler Edition (WTE) serial numbers both start with RZ. As a matter of fact when I was trying to determine if my 540S did in fact have lifetime maps (as the seller had advertised) I was told by TT that it was a TM WTE(not S) model despite not having a certificate for the lifetime maps. When I pursued this more with TT they ended up telling me (in a round about way) that the 540S and the 540TM were in fact the same except the TM comes in a different box (i.e. with TM on it) and has a lifetime map certificate.

This info is for the WTE version, not sure if this applies to the bsic 540S or TM (non-WTE).
