Intelligent TomTom puts you on route to saving money
publication date: Apr 3, 2010
 | TomTom has made effortless navigation even more
sophisticated with the new XL IQ Routes™ edition2.
This successor to the award-winning TomTom XL IQ Routes™ edition sports a
new simplified menu, along with features such as advanced lane
guidance, spoken street names, Map Share™ and of course IQ Routes™.
The XL IQ Routes™ edition2 comes with a whole range of relevant
features. To calculate the optimum route, TomTom’s innovative IQ Routes™
technology uses real historic car speed measurements from the roads,
plus analysis of the time and day of travel. This can save time, as well
as money and fuel. | Via the large 11cm (4.3”) touch screen drivers can access
the new simplified start menu, which now features just two options –
‘Plan route’ or ‘Browse map’. This makes it even easier to get going on
the road.
Advanced lane guidance is also included, making light work of
particularly complex junctions. This feature displays all of the lanes
on the device, showing clearly which one drivers should take – and
helping to make navigation simpler and even more effortless.
The spoken
street names feature, meanwhile, also helps drivers keep their eyes on
the road as the name of the turning they need is spoken out loud.
TomTom also helps drivers navigate with the best quality map at all
times.
If a new map has been released within 30 days of first using
their device, TomTom’s latest map guarantee lets drivers download it
once for free via TomTom HOME. And with built-in Map Share™ technology,
drivers can make corrections to their map and download free corrections
made by millions of other drivers in the TomTom community.
The TomTom XL IQ Routes™ edition2 will be available from beginning of
April at £139 for UK & Ireland and
£159 for Western Europe . |
TomTom shifts car navigation up a gear today with the
launch of the TomTom Start2, a smart new device that makes driving even
more stress-free.
New features include advanced lane guidance which makes light work of
complex junctions. This feature displays all of the lanes clearly on the
device, showing which one drivers should take – and helping to make
navigation simpler and stress-free.
New drivers and first-time sat nav users will especially appreciate the
new spoken street names feature.
Because the name of the street they’re
entering is read out loud, they can keep their eyes on the road and
still be sure of their location.
The TomTom Start2 will be available from beginning of April. The
recommended retail price is £119 for the device with a regional map and
£139 for the device with a European map. | | | | | | | | | |
