Here lately, all of the buzz surrounding TomTom has been focused intently on the outfit's iPhone app and accompanying car kit. But over in Berlin, the company seems entirely more interested in showcasing some new wares that fall into its core product category. Making its debut at IFA, the GO x50 lineup is comprised of the GO 950, GO 750 and GO 550, all of which tout the company's IQ Routes technology to get you from point A to point B in the very least amount of time. The trio promises to calculate routes faster than ever before, and they also include the planet's largest collection of historical speed profiles. Once you're on your way, the units can tap into RDS-TMC services in order to take current road conditions into account and get you from point A to point B in the least amount of time. Also of note, these three now feature voice command and control, and each ships with an active dock with integrated RDS-TMC information. The x50 lineup is scheduled to ship this autumn for undisclosed amounts, with the GO 950 packing maps for the US, Canada and 45 European nations and the GO 750 / GO 550 offering maps in select regions of Europe only.
What is the IQ technology? Your link didn't provide anything of use.
The IQ-technology uses historical data with actual speed profiles at a certain time and day of the week instead of speedlimits. This gives a more accurate prediction your ETA and faster routes.
Does TomTom allow you to search for names of stores and restaurants? I played with a few models last week and they didn't have this feature..
Now if they can only bring us to the exact address instead of to an 'approximate location'. The road map I use has better address location.
I see the TomTom in the graphic is routing you on the wrong side of the road for us Brits driving to London! Wonder what the IQ stands for in IQ Routes?
