Amsterdam, 23 March 2009 – TomTom, the world's leading portable navigation solutions provider, today reveals two new versions of its world's best-selling portable navigation devices. The new TomTom ONE IQ Routes™ and TomTom XL IQ Routes™ bring leading technologies previously only available on TomTom's top-end TomTom GO* series, to the TomTom ONE and TomTom XL series for the first time. Additionally, the two new models have been revised completely and feature a highquality black finishing as well as increased European map coverage**. They have a price point starting from €159.
"The new TomTom ONE and TomTom XL devices strengthen our mid-range product offering considerably through the combination of first-class navigation and competitive price points," says Corinne Vigreux, Managing Director of TomTom. "IQ Routes allows drivers to take those routes that only well-informed locals know. It takes away the stress of not knowing where to go and when to arrive, as well as giving you a faster route in up to 35% of all cases. In addition, advanced lane guidance gives drivers a safer and more confident feeling when dealing with complex roads."
Driving with TomTom IQ Routes ensures all users automatically obtain the most reliable travel and delay times on the screen of their device. Depending on the time of the week or hour of the day drivers set off, the most efficient route will be calculated for that moment. It takes into account any factors that can delay drivers' journeys based on facts derived from years of gathering anonymous historic speed measurements. Finally, TomTom's advanced lane guidance feature makes navigating difficult junctions or crossing multiple lanes safer. It gives drivers timely vocal instructions and clearly indicates what lane or exit to take on the screen of the device, resulting in a much better view of their surroundings.
In addition to the above mentioned features, the new TomTom ONE and TomTom XL devices come with:
be downloaded and users can personalise their device by installing and sharing new, fun content such as voices and car icons
