CeBIT – Hannover, 3 March 2008 - TomTom, the world’s largest portable navigation solutions provider, today announces ground-breaking features and unique content on its latest TomTom GO device – the GO 930T – including the company’s unique IQ Routes™ technology and Advanced Lane Guidance.
The innovative IQ Routes™ technology is based on real average speeds that have been measured on roads, rather than static maximum speeds per road type. This means the new TomTom GO determines a route by considering all possible routes, and then selects the one that takes the least time. In almost 50 per cent of all journeys, this results in taking a different and faster route, saving the driver significant travel time – as well as saving money and fuel.
In addition, the new TomTom GO features Advanced Lane Guidance - a first for the navigation mass market. Advanced Lane Guidance gives drivers a more realistic view and enhanced visual instructions of drivers’ surroundings, ensuring they are better informed about the situation ahead.
I have to correct them, on that last part; lane guidance has been a standard feature on Navigon GPS units for some time now. In fact; "IQ routes" isn’t that new either, Magellan announced a similar feature in their upcoming Maestro 4350.
But in the battle of the GPS units what counts is who can make the most noise, then price and then who can get their unit on store shelves before the competition.
