iQ ROuTES™
IQ ROUTES™ TECHNOLOGY*
Traffic isn’t the same during Monday morning rush hour as it is on
a lazy Sunday afternoon. Heavy traffic, rotaries, traffic lights, and
even pedestrians or shopping crowds can slow you down.
The route you’re looking for changes depending on the day and
time, so the shortest route isn’t necessarily going to be the fastest.
With TomTom IQ Routes you’ll always drive the fastest route.
TomTom IQ Routes puts the driving experience of millions of
TomTom users into your maps. IQ Routes calculates the fastest
route possible using actual average speeds of travel on your route
rather than only posted speed limits. With TomTom IQ Routes
you’ll always drive the smartest, most efficient route. IQ Routes
saves you time, fuel and money.
