New TomTom GPS units more intelligently route |
GPS maker TomTom earlier this week revealed some new GPS models outfitted with new routing technology which takes into account average speeds on a road when creating a route. These models - the Go 930 and Go 730 - will be available by the end of April.
This new TomTom technology, known as IQ Routes, is based on actual average speeds on roads, rather than the posted speed limits. It gathers this data from “anonymous historical speed profiles of over 6.2 billion miles of driven roads” from millions of TomTom users. The company says that nearly half the time having this data, planning the route results in a faster trip.
You can get more details on this technology and other features of the new TomTom units, taken from a company press release, after the jump.
