IQ Routes

We all know traffic is different during a Monday morning rush hour from a lazy Sunday afternoon. We all want the best short cuts to get us to our destination in the fastest possible way. But heavy traffic, speed bumps, traffic lights, roundabouts and even school children or shopping crowds can slow you down. The handy short cut you’re looking for varies depending on the time and day, meaning your shortest route isn’t necessarily going to be the fastest all the time!

And it’s not just urban driving. Whether it's roundabouts, crossroads, school children, traffic jams, or anywhere the traffic flow can vary, IQ Routes can make a real difference.

How IQ Routes™ works

Millions of TomTom users worldwide voluntarily provide us with anonymous speed data from each of their journeys every time they connect their GPS to TomTom HOME.
As a result, TomTom now has a huge database, containing billions of kilometres of information, based on real customer driving experiences and collected over the years from more than 7 million TomTom users.
Using this data, TomTom’s unique IQ Routes™ technology calculates your optimal route. This route is based on actual driving speeds, not just maximum speed limits, taking into account any obstacles that might slow you down (busy junctions, zebra crossings and even shopping crowds).
This data enhances the quality of the overall TomTom navigation experience and is particularly helpful in improving the quality of the detailed routing information provided for the specific time and day of your chosen trip.
