New Routing
TomTom is committed to providing motorists with the best routing technology possible, developing industry firsts IQ Routes™ and HD Traffic™.
For the new platform, TomTom engineers were tasked to design a new routing algorithm that continuously scans the road network for the fastest routes, using these layers of navigation information. This has resulted in a patented super fast routing algorithm that sets new standards in accuracy and speed. And user interface enhancements give drivers a better visual understanding of traffic conditions.
Complete new look and feel
The new user interface and application logic has been much improved. To existing TomTom users, the product will have the familiar TomTom feel, being easy to use and rich in features, but it does that in a much richer graphical environment. The new capacitive touch screen offers crystal clear graphics at high resolution.
"Our customers are relying increasingly on their navigation devices and it is no longer about the destination alone, but also very much about the journey itself", said Corinne Vigreux, managing director TomTom. "The GO 1000 has been designed to make the journey a relaxed, predictable, safe and enjoyable experience.
Thanks to TomTom's technologies we know the road ahead and what is happening on the journey. The GO 1000 will get our customers to their destination easier, safer and faster than ever before."
Richer and more detailed maps, covering two million kilometres more roads and addressable locations across UK and ROI, ensure drivers never have to waste time looking for valuable information regarding their route.
Also, a new Park Assist feature automatically informs drivers of car parks near their destination.
*Availability of services will vary per country
Availability
The TomTom GO 1000 is expected to be available in August.
IQ Routes
TomTom IQ Routes applies the historical travel time experience of millions of drivers to calculate the fastest route possible. The technology is based on historical speed measurements for every time of day, one for every road segment, from large motorways to small local roads. In up to 35% of all cases, the use of IQ Routes results in driving a faster route, saving significant travel time as well as money and fuel.
HD Traffic
TomTom's HD Traffic service is based on the anonymous measurements of ordinary mobile phones moving through the network. A significant proportion of mobile phones on the move are in cars. Analysis of these results gives accurate traffic information for all major and secondary roads. The HD Traffic service is further enhanced with information from TomTom users who wish to share their travel time information anonymously with other users. This contributes to the accuracy and granularity of this unique service. It gives a much more accurate traffic information resource than traditional systems and for much larger territories.
