To add insult to injury the lane markings are usually painted about five meters before the junction itself, so by the time you know which lane you need to be in, you should already be in it!

This addition to the feature-set will be a huge help in removing an ever-present frustration with GPS for me. Not least when I'm driving in and out of London, where, due to the sheer amount of traffic, the lane markings have just about been completely eroded.]]>Mar 3rd 2008 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/Mar 3rd 2008 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/Mar 3rd 2008 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/Mar 3rd 2008 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/Mar 3rd 2008 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/Mar 3rd 2008 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/Mar 3rd 2008 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/Mar 3rd 2008 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/Mar 3rd 2008 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/Mar 3rd 2008 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/
TomTom graphics look like something out a 4-bit graphics application - ugly blocky pixelated eye-sore.]]>Mar 3rd 2008 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/Mar 3rd 2008 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/Mar 3rd 2008 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/
To issue a press release claiming lane guidance is a first on mass market GPS units is a bold faced lie. Navigon has had it for ages, as have most Japanese GPS units.

And their "IQ guidance" isn't that brilliant either. Magellan announced it for the Maestro 4250 back in January for the entire US, not just a few select EU countries

TomTom may be big in Europe, but in the US Magellan and Garmin rule. TomTom has horrendous service in the US with virtually no support available.]]>Mar 3rd 2008 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/Mar 3rd 2008 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/Mar 3rd 2008 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/Mar 3rd 2008 3:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/Mar 3rd 2008 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/Mar 3rd 2008 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/Mar 3rd 2008 6:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/Mar 3rd 2008 5:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/Mar 3rd 2008 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/
Also, having a GPS unit aimed at use in an automobile, that doesn't power on with ignition, is annoying.]]>Mar 3rd 2008 9:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/
But the Traffic HD, now that's clever, much better than systems relying on other users using the same particular system/product like for example the "dash" and similiar products.]]>Mar 4th 2008 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/Mar 4th 2008 10:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/tomtom-intros-go-930t-and-730t-with-lane-guidance-and-iq-routes/
Now what the heck were the software engineers of Tomtom think when they did not include one of the main functions in the software???? It really sucks, I every time I wanna listen to MP3s installed on Tomtom, I have to push the on button when I start my car, it is so rediculous! And besides, I hate wind screen suction cups so I have embedded the unit in the ashtray - but the switch on button is located in the corner which I cannot reach without a special tool. No way Jose, this one goes back to shop and will be replaced with a Garmin.

Software geeks of Tomtom, a friendly advice, act quickly and fix it!!]]>May 26th 2008 4:34PM
