We always give you the fastest route to your destination.

At TomTom, we always get you there with ease – but we do more than any other satnav company to get you there with the fastest route.

This is through a host of innovative technologies that are unique to TomTom; technologies like IQ Routes™ and HD Traffic™, that work together to build a realistic picture of our roads, for every minute of the day. The result? A TomTom GPS with IQ Routes and HD Traffic can save up to 13% driving time and increase your average speed by 13% compared to a satnav with standard traffic information (TMC)*.

IQ Routes™

Get the fastest route any time of day

The shortest distance is not always the fastest. Traffic lights, crossings, rush hour... all these hidden factors can really slow you down. That’s why we’ve developed IQ Routes™ - By introducing real average speeds measured on the roads to our maps, you get a faster route to your destination in 35% of the time compared to satnavs without our unique IQ Routes™ technology*.

HD Traffic™

Beat the traffic

We’ve all been there. You hear news on the radio of a traffic jam on your route... just as a sea of red brake lights appears in front of you. But TomTom can keep you out of a jam! Only TomTom HD Traffic™ gives you the most accurate traffic information with traffic updates every three minutes – and more road coverage (including motorways and secondary roads) than anyone else. In fact, HD Traffic™ is the most sophisticated traffic information service currently available on the market in the countries where it is active*.

*For example: in the Netherlands, HD Traffic has up to five times more updates and up to ten times more road coverage than other providers.

Map Share™

Make corrections to your map every day. With TomTom Map Share™ you can correct your map via your TomTom device, as and when you spot road changes – plus you can download corrections from millions of other Map Share users worldwide via your computer.

Map Update Service

Always drive with the latest map! Through the TomTom Map Update Service™, you will receive every new release of your map over a twelve-month period, all from the equivalent of just £7.95 per quarter.

Fast (re)route calculation

Instant re-routing. If you miss your turn or decide to take a detour from your planned route, your TomTom device instantly re-calculates your optimal route from where you now are.

RDS-TMC

Traffic with a TMC traffic receiver. Just plug your traffic receiver into your TomTom device and as soon as an update comes in, it both recalculates your travel time and, if there's congestion up ahead, suggests an alternative route. Comes as standard with our T-devices or can be purchased as an accessory. No subscription needed.
