The x40 series features their HD traffic which yours doesn't and won't have. The HD traffic uses anonymous cell phone data from Vodafone. It tracks the speed of moving cars on the main primary and secondary roads. It combines this with government data and RDS-TMC data and then is verified by TomTom manually before being sent to you - every 3 minutes. Use this in conjunction with IQRoutes which you also don't have, the x40 will know the fastest routes at every 5 minutes of the day.

That's pretty advanced stuff. When I used the IQRoutes, I managed to save a good 10 minutes off my travel time. My old satnav didn't tell me about that route, nor did google maps. It seemed longer, yet it was 10mins faster.

So there is a lot to look forward to for the TomTom x40 series, I just wish they would hurry up the release :-S]]>Oct 21st 2008 8:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/31/tomtoms-go-x40-live-range-present-realtime-route-adjustment-go/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/31/tomtoms-go-x40-live-range-present-realtime-route-adjustment-go/Aug 31st 2008 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/31/tomtoms-go-x40-live-range-present-realtime-route-adjustment-go/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/31/tomtoms-go-x40-live-range-present-realtime-route-adjustment-go/Aug 31st 2008 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/31/tomtoms-go-x40-live-range-present-realtime-route-adjustment-go/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/31/tomtoms-go-x40-live-range-present-realtime-route-adjustment-go/Aug 31st 2008 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/31/tomtoms-go-x40-live-range-present-realtime-route-adjustment-go/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/31/tomtoms-go-x40-live-range-present-realtime-route-adjustment-go/Aug 31st 2008 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/31/tomtoms-go-x40-live-range-present-realtime-route-adjustment-go/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/31/tomtoms-go-x40-live-range-present-realtime-route-adjustment-go/Aug 31st 2008 7:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/31/tomtoms-go-x40-live-range-present-realtime-route-adjustment-go/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/31/tomtoms-go-x40-live-range-present-realtime-route-adjustment-go/
Yep, really bad. Because you know, they could really use a smudgy case and a glossy screen that reflects every single ray of light directly on your face while you're driving.]]>Sep 1st 2008 4:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/31/tomtoms-go-x40-live-range-present-realtime-route-adjustment-go/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/31/tomtoms-go-x40-live-range-present-realtime-route-adjustment-go/*so happy*]]>Sep 2nd 2008 12:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/31/tomtoms-go-x40-live-range-present-realtime-route-adjustment-go/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/31/tomtoms-go-x40-live-range-present-realtime-route-adjustment-go/
Traffic info what needs to get better. I'm not sure about TomTom, but my girlfriend's Garmin shows traffic where there's none and doesn't where there is. It's lame. We just don't trust it anymore.]]>Sep 2nd 2008 1:47PM
