 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.

Important
This equipment was tested for FCC compliance under conditions that included the use of shielded cables and
