IQ Routes™ technology

TomTom IQ routes™ puts the driving experience of millions of TomTom users into your maps,

calculating your route based on actual speeds driven on roads compared to speed limits.

We all know that we drive a different way on a Monday morning to the other side of town than we do on a

Sunday afternoon. The fastest route may differ by the time or day of the week. This is especially true when

driving through a city centre or other urban areas – anything from trafﬁ c lights to shopping crowds have an

effect on your trip. Obstructions like these make you drive more slowly than the maximum speed limit legally

allowed on those roads.

TomTom IQ Routes takes away the guesswork, giving you handy 'shortcuts' by allowing for these hold ups. It

takes account of all types of 'ﬁ xed' delay in its route calculation, including roundabouts, speed bumps, railway

crossings, steep slopes and sharp bends in mountains. It also allows for more unpredictable delays, like

shopping crowds and children leaving school.

Let's take an example:

The standard shortest route from London City Airport to Paddington at a relatively quiet time, and with few

hold-ups, should take 20 minutes, driving 9.5 kilometres.

However, that same shortest route will typically take 29 minutes during a busier period. And this is reality

most of the time.
